    Can you keep quiet for two minutes?

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    Posted

    I've noticed the rules seem to be a great "guideline" in local matches and seems to be a growing trend in higher matches as well. I got my RO cert as soon as I could after I joined and started implementing rules at every match I shot. According to rumor, I had DQ'd more people than one whole range combined by my fourth year. As a result, I rarely run the clock or score any more ( I was told I score "too fast") and spend my down time setting and taping. Most of the locals come to me to ask rules questions, they know I've read them, which I find hypocritical sees how they are the same rules I was enforcing to catch my bad rap. As for the OP, whether he stopped himself or the RO stopped him, his stage was done. The first round fired after the fact was a DQ. MHO

    If you came up with a DQ from what you read it's no wonder the locals don't want you on the timer. :)
    You're probably right, I assume the RO knew the rules and after 120 seconds, 5.7.4 kicks in and the course is finished. If he let the shooter continue, se la vi.

    Selling guns through forums

    in Miscellaneous Topics That Do Not Fit in Any Other Forum

    I've bought and sold a handful of guns on here, no problem. I get paranoid when their post count is low or if they bumped it up posting underwater basket weaving garbage. A lot of honest and earnest people on here with a ton of knowledge and if i have a question on someone, I can usually find someone on here that knows them. One time I couldn't find an acquaintance to verify on a low round counter, so I questioned him out of the sell. BEnosvere is the place to be for all things gun.

    Hello: STI is 10.5 ozs I believe now. Thanks, Eric

    Can you verify that? I just snapped one at the back upper corner of the breech face last weekend on a 6" limited. Message me as I don't want to disturb the thread. Thanks

    Finished this one last night. Second hand twin cart found beside dumpster, a little cutting and welding, scrap aluminum plate and solid tires from another project. Now I can move four shooter's gear from stage to stage.12799013_965107200209688_780537756784926

    Make sure it "fits" her hand. I have seen a lot of kids struggle with mag wells that let their hand slide down away from the grip safety. I'd have her try as many as possible and see which gives the best "weld" to the web of her strong hand and the beavertail. MHO Good luck.

    Travelling Whipping Boy

    in What I Hate

    So this weekend two of my buddies and I drove two and a half hours to shoot a monthly match. We get there and the squad sheets are full of ghost shooters whose friends have signed them up on faith. We sign in on an empty sheet and go get ready. At the shooter's meeting, one speaker calls out the folks who signed up friends that didn't show and thanks them for causing a delay to revamp all the squads and scoring devices. No big deal, not the end of the world. As we shoot there regularly, we figured we would be put in a decent squad as we're proficient workers and hustle from start to finish. WRONG!! We got put with the worst squad I have ever shot with, PERIOD. On the first stage, after a few agonizingly long scoring endeavors, one buddy volunteers to run the clock and I take the Nook. The shooter leaves the start position and begins shooting, when he gets to the last target, I am already there waiting to score that target as the rest are scored. It seems that I scored it too fast and there was quite a spectacle made of it, so I surrendered the Nook to a local. I have never been told I scored too fast, wasn't even aware of such a thing. For the record, his time was 45.87 and his hit factor was 1.63. As luck would have it, the second stage was a classifier 03-18 High Standards and I was handed the clock. From the ten yard line, I called out the scores. The local on the Nook had a freaking meltdown, not only could I not be able to see the targets, I was scoring them out of order...three cardboard, eight shots each. At that point, I decided to set steel and tape and let the drudgery of the squad drag on. Third stage, it seems I'm taping too fast for the locals and now I'm seeing red and my shooting shows it. One of the "nice" locals informs us he signed up to shoot with us and didn't realize he would be squadded with these stellar individuals AND begins apologizing for their actions. I run our local and we shoot three local "travel" matches a month and I can honestly say this is the worst time I have had shooting...EVER. What I Hate may not be the right place for this, but i had to get it off my chest. Thanks

    The hacks,short cuts and money savers thread: How you save money and s

    in Little things I've Noticed

    This may not fit into this thread, but I do a couple things to help save my local club money. First and foremost, I stopped them from using "rattle can" hardcover and went to the local hardware, ask for their water based miscolors from the paint department and have them tint it as dark as they can. Ten dollars is the most I've paid for a gallon so far. Take it home, pour 3/4 into drink bottles or milk jugs that will seal well, fill the empty 3/4 can with water, shake the wee out of it, get your pawnshop spray gun and go to town. A gallon lasts almost two years for us. Second, we remove our staples from every stick, every match. Sounds stupid, but how many times have you changed sticks due to no good area for staples? We also shoot our targets to death, for us, only the classifier needs new targets every match. We get between twenty and thirty people per match, so we may get more life out of them than other clubs. Our core group likes to shoot as often as possible, so carpooling is a huge help with the three to four travel matches a month, all within three hours of home.

    Practiscore "invalid division"

    in Match Scoring

    Posted

    I had to manually set the divisions in Match Divisions on my Master iPad, then when I went to show someone what I was talking about on my other iPad and it worked fine. Not a tech guy or a quitter, so I just banged on it until it worked. All four of my iPads and phone did it automatically after I fought it the one time. It definitely does not recognize the abbreviations anymore. Good luck.
