Yeah, I have a MIAD on my AR, and I use the finger groove frontstrap with it. I was kind of hoping they'd have a MIAD-type grip with the K2 angle, but no luck. I ordered a K2+, since it seemed it would probably be closer to the size of the Ergo I'm using now.

I wonder if Blitzkrieg will have a "trade-up" program? ?

Was that a mag that had previously had another extension on it? I'm assuming these will also require trimming excess flashing and possibly the follower, similar to the MBX extensions.

I assume you mean barely making Minor, not Major. My PCC load in my 16" barrel is ~135 PF, but it's sub-minor out of my 5" pistol.

^^^ What he said. I like my primary towards the rear, so I had to place my offset forward of the ejection port. Others like it reversed.

I hadn't seen the K2 or K2+ before. I might try the K2+ out to see if it makes it more comfortable, since I run my PCC stock shorter than my AR. ETA: Primary Arms has the Magpul K2 and K2+, and the BCM Mod 3 grips on sale right now. (https://www.primaryarms.com/MCategories+Grips)

I use an Ergo. I can get a nice high grip on it, but I need to shave my off-side safety down. It rubs uncomfortably at the base of my trigger finger.

If you run an offset and want to use it as a backup sight, make sure you know where it's sighted in. My offset is set for ~7-8 yards. I use it primarily for hard lean shots and low targets over walls, which are normally close targets. My primary is sighted in at 25 yards. I could use the offset in a pinch, but I know it will be off on distant targets. Some people sight both optics to the same distance, but I have a riser on my primary dot and not on my offset dot, so I'd have to remember two different holdovers on close targets, depending on which sight I'm using. So I chose to sight the offset for closer distances.

If they don't want a laser aimed at a target at the start, they need to specify a start position that incorporates an aiming point that's away from the targets, like Steel Challenge.

I have issued warnings about trigger finger position during remedial actions and reloads if I can't quite tell if the finger is in the guard, resting on it, or being held just outside of it. I won't DQ them because I'm not positive. At the same time, I don't want someone who does have their finger in there to think "oh, this must be OK because I haven't been DQ'd." I encourage most new shooters to move their finger to the frame to give a clear view through the guard.

I don't think this has anything to do with failures of props. What they are talking about in 4.6 is an opening or port that doesn't open when it's supposed to, or a barrier that falls over if leaned upon. If you shoot through a wall at a popper because you misjudged your offset, that's REF. If you stop in the middle of a mesh wall and shoot through it to knock over a popper, then look at the RO and expect a re-shoot, I'd consider that unsportsmanlike conduct. I think shooters getting reshoots for running into the RO are often given because the RO thinks, "I shouldn't have been so close" or "I could have moved out of the way faster". I've never seen it personally, but I also have never been to anything higher than LII. I seem to recall a story years ago about a shooter who was attempting to get a reshoot that way, but the RO stayed far enough back that it was quite obvious the shooter was chasing after the RO with one intention. I'd imagine when you have a blatant example like that, it's a no-brainer for unsportsmanlike conduct.

I don't think it's a leap. Timers may not record actual audio, but they all record shots based on audible sound, including the RO's timer. I'm only pointing out that 3rd party recordings aren't submissible in an Arbitration. The Arb committee has no way to know whether the list of recorded shot times someone might produce from their timer were from the run in question (as opposed to another shooter in the squad who may be sharing the timer), or whether the timer or recording software have been altered.

I think you are introducing as many uncertainties as you would be trying to eliminate by having a recording of all "shots" to use at Arbitration. How does the Arb committee, who may or may not have been there to witness the run, going to know that all the times reported actually came from shots fired, or that all the shots were, in fact, recorded. Distance, props, body positioning, etc, can all play into not being sure you have all the shots. A bump of the timer against a wall as the RO gets out of the way mid-run could cause a "shot" that wasn't a shot. Good technique from the RO in watching the timer on the last few shots can help mitigate the problem you had when you were wrongly credited with +2 seconds on your run. Aside from that, until they allow synchronized video/timer evidence, I think what you are asking for (all shots recorded shot data being saved) won't truly produce what you're after (being able to backtrack through a run to argue a penalty or time dispute).

Since CO isn't bound by the Production box for size, it shouldn't really matter as long as you don't create a thumbrest or add material near the bottom that could be construed as a magwell. From App D7: 7 Maximum size Handgun NO

The major hole in that I see in your theory is that you're assuming only the required number of shots get fired, or that the same number are fired from one shooter to the next. You're worried about not all shots being recorded, but at the same time having a time that's too long because of extra shots being recorded that didn't happen. Outside of Virginia Count and Fixed Time, people are often going to fire more than the required number of shots, especially if there are steel targets and/or movers. I've seen new guys in Limited empty two mags at a Texas Star before they finally got all the plates or just moved on. It's not feasible to assume RO's will be counting your cumulative shots throughout a CoF and then compare that to the number of shots on the timer. And, according to this, your auxiliary shot timer wouldn't be allowed as evidence, since it's effectively an audio recording of the stage. 11.1.5 Retain Evidence – An appellant is required to inform the Range Master of his wish to present his appeal to the Arbitration Committee and may request that the officials retain any and all relevant documentary or other evidence pending the hearing. Photos, audio and/or video recordings will not be accepted as evidence.

Not to mention that not all targets have perfs all the way through.

The term is a bit vague. As I understand it, a wall support is offline from the actual wall. Such as 45-degree supports that extend in front of or behind the plane of the wall to keep it from falling over. It does not mean the wall or the wall legs in the same plane.

If you're worried about it as a shooter, just wait until the time is recorded before you ULSC. If you're worried about it as an RO, note the time at the last shot. If you have to go to an Arbitration over a stage time, I don't think an alternate timer readout would be admissible.

I still don't do it unconsciously (yet), but it really does make a huge difference to drive the shoulder forward.

The suggested edit calls for a reshoot if it was a Range Official who prematurely patched the target. If a non-RO did it, it is scored "as presented", which to me seems to mean that if I don't see holes, it's two mikes. Suggested edit: If a target is prematurely patched or taped which prevents a range official from determining the actual score, the Range Official must determine who patched or taped the target. If it was not a Range Official, the target will be scored as presented. If, however, it was a Range Official and the target score was not properly noted a reshoot will be ordered. Reviewing previous score sheets is prohibited; targets must be scored as is, using the actual target as the basis for the scoring call.

But regardless of whether you pre-score or not, why make the distinction that the score will stand if taped by anyone other than a Range Official? And I really don't agree with the proposed edit of counting prematurely patched targets as mikes if they were taped by a non-RO. I've had to make shooters re-shoot a stage numerous times because well-meaning newbies have taped before I could score. Making that mistake count as mikes towards the shooter will not make the taper any friends.

I don't actually, as I don't follow these Shenanigans, or I would have known to check the nroi rulings. What was it about? DNROI issued a ruling allowing aftermarket hammers in Production, in clear violation of the current App D4 at the time. They knew they were going to revise the Production rules to allow aftermarket small parts, but they hadn't officially done so yet.

While taking my RO recert exam, a question occurred to me. 9.1.3 states: Prematurely Patched Targets - If a target is prematurely patched or taped, which prevents a Range Official from determining the actual score, the Range Officer must order the competitor to reshoot the course of fire. However, if following the scoring of a target by any assigned Range Officer, the target is patched or taped by anyone other than a Range Officer, the score will stand as called regardless of the competitor's opportunity to see the target in question and the competitor will not be permitted to appeal the score as called. Reviewing previous score sheets is prohibited; targets must be scored as is, using the actual target as the basis for the scoring call. It's the highlighted text that prompts my question. What happens if it is a Range Officer that patches the target? Does it still stand? If so, why the distinction between an RO or another shooter if the score stands regardless? As a side note, I saw this in the draft book: 9.1.3 Prematurely Patched Targets - If a target is prematurely patched or taped, which prevents a Range Official from determining the actual score, the Range Officer must order the competitor to reshoot the course of fire. However, if following the scoring of a target by any assigned Range Officer, the target is patched or taped by anyone other than a Range Officer, the score will stand as called regardless of the competitor's opportunity to see the target in question and the competitor will not be permitted to appeal the score as called. Reviewing previous score sheets is prohibited; targets must be scored as is, using the actual target as the basis for the scoring call. Suggested edit: If a target is prematurely patched or taped which prevents a range official from determining the actual score, the Range Official must determine who patched or taped the target. If it was not a Range Official, the target will be scored as presented. If, however, it was a Range Official and the target score was not properly noted a reshoot will be ordered. Reviewing previous score sheets is prohibited; targets must be scored as is, using the actual target as the basis for the scoring call. The highlighted text, if accepted, would basically mean that a target prematurely patched by another shooter means two mikes for the shooter, rather than a reshoot.

Does anyone know if there is an alert feature in the app that lets you know when a change has been made, and to which rule, when you open the app?

No. I have the normal dot zeroed for ~25 yards. My offset is more like 7.
