Yes, that stage will go down as a DNF for that shooter. Once the stage is torn down, and everyone goes home, it's too late to correct the mistake, since the only real fix is to reshoot that stage.
That's frustrating... but as stated it is the shooter's responsibility to check the scoresheet.
-
- At the Shooter's Meeting, remind the competitors that they are responsible for making sure their score sheet accurately reflects their run.
- Make the shooters and the Range Officers SIGN THEIR SCORE SHEETS. 9.7.1 tells us to sign and have the shooter sign (it's not just for Major matches) This is a good belt and suspenders check on the score sheet.
In my short 6 months as statistician, I finally had one scoresheet yesterday where no time was recorded. I've attempted to contact the shooter thru our club forum, yet there is no definitive answer for the time. In EZWin do I mark the stage as "Not Shot", otherwise the program will not let me enter the hits w/o a time. Unfortunately for the shooter it was the classifier time.

On my range we have to start low ready (and can't run or shoot on the move) for the first 6 month till we get some experience.

Ordered CR Speed belt online 4/11, on my door step 4/14.

8.2.2 The competitor assumes the start position as specified in the written stage briefing. Unless otherwise specified, the competitor must stand erect, facing downrange, with arms hanging naturally by the sides. A competitor who attempts or completes a course of fire where an incorrect start position was used must be required by a Range Official to reshoot the course of fire. “Arms hanging naturally by sides” is illustrated in Appendix E3.
8.3.1 “Make Ready” – This command signifies the start of “the Course of Fire”. Under the direct supervision of the Range Officer the competitor must face down range, or in a safe direction as specified by the Range Officer, fit eye and ear protection, and prepare the handgun in accordance with the written stage briefing. The competitor must then assume the required start position. At this point, the Range Officer will proceed.
Right, so the RO must proceed as the shooter is ready, whether or not it is the proper position or not. It's the shooter's responsibility to be in the correct start position. The RO must allow the shooter to run the course, THEN inform the shooter to run it again b/c he started in the incorrect position. In no way should an RO inform the shooter of the start position once the "Make Ready" command has been given. Yes?

How long is too long to wait? At what point do you finally state "Are you ready?" and move along with the stage? Can't the RO just assess a procedural for not adhering to the WSB once the shooter has finished?
One of your jobs as an RO is to insure proper starting position.
This is my exact point... at what point does the RO interrupt the "readiness" of the shooter who is standing at the start position, hand not on gun, in a "ready" position. It just so happens the shooter is not in the PROPER starting position per the WSB. Is that the ROs responsibility, or is it the shooter's? Where is it stated the RO must remind a shooter of the proper start position? Especially when so many are claiming that the ONLY remark once the shooter approaches the line is "Make ready."
-
Yeah, when they forget the hand position and it becomes obvious they have (we've probably all seen/done it enough to know it by sight), I'll say something like, "Wrists above shoulders". I can't start them until they get all lined out anyway, so...

"best 4 per IPSC" ....does the stage description have to specifically state that stacking is allowed?
I think you answered your own question...

OPEN Division without MAJOR scoring is like Women without boobs.

That's why it takes a man to shoot open minor and still win...

I guess I don't see it as an "ever-confusing Production ruleset" --- after all, I buy a gun, some mags and mag pouches, and a belt, and go shoot Production. There you go. Not too confusing.
Thanks for the discussion, but you can't possibly honestly think those who shoot Production simply pull their gun out of the tupperware it came in and strap it to their hip...
Honestly, YES! I can, and do. And perform better than most with performance enhanced hardware. It's the Indian, not the arrows that count...

Baby steps...

Hopefully you used the BEnos Hate Rant Workplace IP address blocker...

Why stop at open division? Why not eliminate major for all divisions?
Why not just one scoring matrix for all divisions? It doesn't make sense to me to have separate scoring anyway. You're scored against whomever is shooting in your division; it's the rules and regulations of the divisions that matter, not the method of scoring. Really, why the difference?

Anyone have any dealings with Mach 2 Tactical? Have emailed and called looking for info on a product, but have heard nothing. Hesitant to order online since I've received no feedback from them.
i ordered a cr belt and mag pouch from them had it in my mailbox in 3 days
Thanks! I'll try giving them a call again. Price is too good to pass up...

There is no balance between speed and accuracy in USPSA. This sport is geared toward speed. Moderate accuracy is fine if you can do it really fast.
Really?
10 targets, 100 point stage
Shoot all A's = 100 points/15seconds = 6.66 hit factor
Shoot 10 A's and 10 D's = 70points/10seconds = 7.00 hit factor
Not in production, or if you're shooting minor in some other division...

Timing is everything with PD... I kept checking the website to see when .40S&W 180g were no longer out-of-stock. Ordered 6k online about 4 weeks ago, shipped out next day.
-
I may have missed this info... was it forward or rear falling popper? Did you just keep standing it up with 4 consecutive shots?

JT, how does registration work for the steel challenge side match? Obviously not large enough for online squadding, but no information has been included thus far concerning the steel. Will it be taken care of during check-in?

I just purchased a CR Speed Deluxe belt from CPWSA. Chris is a great guy to deal with BTW.
I want to use it mostly for 3-Gun and the occasional USPSA event of course.
I currently use a Bladetech paddle holster for my G34. This holster is made for a 1 3/4" belt. Looks like the CR Speed is a 1 1/2" belt. Can I still use the Bladetech paddle or would a new belt loop holster be better for the CR belt? I'll be hanging a few California Comp. Works 6rd shotgun shell carriers off it too.
Also, would like to see anyone's setup for 3-Gun using the CR Speed belt.
Can you just change the belt attachment, swap a new 1.5" for the 1.75", or possibly just add a shim?

By definition, this is a "Speed Shoot" course.
I've soooo been waiting for someone to pick up on this!
Really? It sure seems you're on the other side of the argument... and how come YOU didn't mention it for clarification?
(I don't want to drift the thread, but I will later share how I could completely game this as it is written.)
I know exactly where you are going. Draw, fire 2 shots in the direction of the steel, reload and hose away.
Shoot everything, reload off the clock.
Nope, you must reload between arrays.
I disagree.
The order is specified by the order of the words in the sentence.
To use your example:
Drive to Smyrna, pick me up & drive back home.
You get that wrong I'm still going to be in Smyrna or you have a bunch of driving to do.
Nah, the order in your example isn't specific to the word order in the sentence. The key there is getting you in the car.
Just as in the WSB, the key is getting a new mag in the gun at a specified place.
I'm not trying to "win an argument" here either. It just seems very plain to me.

Approval status is still "pending" according to USPSA site. But other Area & Sectional matches occuring around same time have the same standing.
I am rather upset that my credit card has been charged the match fee w/o it having received final USPSA approval of the match. It would be nice to have some information posted on the A5 website soon.

How do you get them them on a form where you can write the stages description etc..?
Using the "export" function in Sk-up, select the 2D model and save the stage as a jpeg to your destination file. Copy & paste the jpeg to your Word document or PDF of the written stage brief.
FWIW... I tend not to "scale" the stages, so just think of a large 3-gun stage as "informational", rather than trying to show 100 yd rifle shots alongside 15 yd handgun targets.
What 9mm brass should I avoid?

You forgot to mention you offer it the shooter before pocketing... right?
