  1. I believe your thinking of rule 10.5.19:

     

    "...The berm/backstop is not required while removing/returning a properly flagged

    PCC from/to a vehicle providing all other safety rules are followed."

     

    I shoot at a range in New Hampshire that has a range rule prohibiting this.  Since this activity happening in the general parking lot either before or after the match, I believe this is outside the scope of USPSA rules and is not a violation of those rules.

  2. The Augusta and Hampden Maine clubs have done a couple.  Ranges are 90 minutes apart.  On Saturday, half the squads shot in Augusta, the other half in Hampden and for Sunday, switched.  

     

    Post match report is a brief summary of the match and a financial report.  The financial isn't complicated, just an overview of income and expenses - mine has never been more than about a dozen lines.

     

    As for liability, no different than any other match.

     

  3. You need to factor in the fact that winning a stage works like the electoral college - the shooter who wins the stage gets all the available points for that stage, and everyone else gets a fraction of those points based on where they place in relation with the stage winner.  When you move from division winner (which is really what matters) to overall, Practiscore is recalculating who won the stage and then redistributes the fractional points.

  4. I'd cite rule 1.1.2

     

    1.1.2
    Quality – The value of a USPSA match is determined by the quality of the
    challenge presented in the course design. Courses of fire must be designed
    primarily to test a competitor’s USPSA shooting skills, not their physical
    abilities.

     

  5. Currently, USPSA has certified Federal "Action Pistol" for this program https://www.federalpremium.com/search?query=action  .  I expect more manufactures will be added to the program.

    You'll purchase the ammo yourself, directly from the vendor of your choice and bring it to the match.  At the match, probably during the registration process, you'll sign a declaration form and provide an eight round sample (this is in addition to the 8 rounds that will be collected for chrono).

  6. Since the "Make Ready" command signals the start of the Course of Fire, the only two things I see that can't be done once that command is given are firing shots and moving away from the start position.  I don't see anything in the rules that would prohibit opening a port that is with reach, even if it does activate a moving target.  The prohibition could be written into the WSB.

    This is also why, as the RO scoring the targets, I will make sure the shooter is made aware of anything unusual (like a mike when the rest of the stage was almost all 2A or A/C). I will also overlay anything I’m unsure of (it’s rare, but it happens) in order to make darn sure everything is scored correctly. 

    Agreed - that’s best practices. 

  8. This situation actually happened to me at last year's Iron Sights Nationals.  I was CRO - last squad, last shooter.  I was scoring targets, and an RO was following me taping.  Last target was an Alpha/Mike and it was taped.  The shooter protested that since he didn't have a chance to see the target, it was therefore prematurely patched.  My ruling was that the target was not prematurely patched and a correct score was called.

  9. For a target to be engaged, a shot must be fired at it - the glossary in the rule book defines a shot "A bullet which passes completely through the barrel of a firearm."

    Had the squib exited the barrel and fell at the shooters feet, that would have been a shot and the target engaged.
