Leam, I can measure the Official USPSA Box I have at home this evening and post the dimensions. Alan

Depends, If the previous shooter was shooting a .40 or .45 and you were shooting a .355 and you had a miss on the untapped target and the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars. Then maybe you could get the reshoot.

hmm, No. An accurate score was able to be determined.

Catch-22

A quick google search can give you some answers

The dirty Dozen

Bill Maund, an enthusiastic shooter and former vice president of USPSA lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on July 10, 2009 at age 75. Bill was the type of person who never shied away from a challenge. When local shooters wanted to become certified as a Range Officers, they discovered that no range officer courses were scheduled within traveling distance. Bill arranged to have Andy Hollar and Chris Edwards teach the RO course in the local area. This was the RO class that provided level one training for Jay Worden and Perry Wilson among others. Bill promoted USPSA new shooter development, dramatically expanded the number of affiliated clubs in the area, and organized area championships. Eventually, he accepted the position of USPSA vice president where he emphasized public outreach, worked at several nationals, and provided the first revision of the original Range Officer lesson material. Locally, no one will deny that the mayor of Madison would have pushed through a gun ban ordinance if Bill had not organized the effort to oppose the ban. The result of that effort led to one of the first Friends of NRA dinners in the country. In addition to USPSA, Bill was also active in retriever training, waterfowl hunting, and fly fishing. Bill was lifetime member of USPSA and the NRA.

I use Dry Grip anti perspirant No white residue left over

Odie, Do not mess around with that, keep on the antibiotics and if the doc does not have you on any get back to see him pronto. Alan

We are working on finalizing the policy. Alan

Stages have been approved, we are awaiting the 3d Stage drawings and then we will put them up on the area 8 website Alan

Here is this afternoons dinner on the grill, and then right before being served. Marinated and BBQ Brisket. Next up, dessert, home made frozen custard

What are you posting here for, then? Troy At least here I won't receive -10 for each broken clay

Too easy, unless they are paintball grenades

Maybe we should just use them for what they were originally designed, after all they are called "Clay Birds/Pigeons" not "Clay Landmines"

Only if they stick to your shoes

Then to use a clay target as a land mine in a course of fire. Upon breaking a land mine would be the end of the competitors course of fire for the stage and the remaining un-shot stages would be DNF'd. Alan Its a game. If not why not have some of that brown cardboard shoot back? That would end your fun day in a hurry too. I think land mines are not equal challenges in most cases. But they are legal. Remember they could be Bouncing Bettys and maybe you don't die you just walk and talk funny for the rest of your life. But you could finish the match. Yes it is a game and I agree that they are not equal challenges. Just my personal hatred of using them in a stage. But if they are used I will play the game. Alan

Robby, That stage was illegal because of the mandatory reload and the round count was 24. There is an exception to mandatory reloads in a medium course of fire, where a medium course of fire is defined as no more than 16 rounds. Alan

Alan, not the best analogy --- clay birds = fault lines..... better analogy perhaps --- clay bird field provides a challenge similar to a Cooper tunnel, in that the shooter needs to move carefully.... I'm fine with them occasionally, and perhaps in a controlled portion of the FFZ..... Cooper tunnels are are at least afforded the following exceptions 10.2.5 In a Cooper Tunnel, a competitor who disturbs one or more pieces of the overhead material will receive one procedural penalty for each piece of overhead material which falls during the course of fire. Overhead material which falls as a result of the competitor bumping or striking the uprights, or as a result of muzzle gases or recoil, will not be penalized.

Then to use a clay target as a land mine in a course of fire. Upon breaking a land mine would be the end of the competitors course of fire for the stage and the remaining un-shot stages would be DNF'd. Alan

If I was inclined to be in a mine field no second chance, but I do try to stay away from known mine fields.

For the record I hate clay targets as land mines. If I fault a line I have the ability to pull back before I make the shot and I would not receive a penalty. With a clay target land mine there is no second chance, also if I drop a mag and it breaks the clay target I get a penalty. Whether the mag comes off the belt or from a reload. Alan

Sat and Sun are now full. Due to a slight oversight the app does not have the Jr entry fee of $60 I will be posting an updated app this evening. Alan

So do I get my say?
