    Squib?

    Brings up another interesting question. If you are the RO/SO and suspect a squib on what you would expect to be the last shot, do you say stop or if you are finished. Does the answer change if it’s limited? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Squib?

    Couldn’t find anything in the rule book. Didn’t realize that was the case in USPSA until you mentioned it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Squib?

    If the squib happened on the 10th shot, it's a miss no matter what. No PE. He fired the required number of shots, the last one just didn't make it out of the barrel. If the SO stops him and there is no squib, it's a reshoot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. I know this is an old thread, just curious if you ever got any load data for the lower loads of WSF with a 125gr bullet.
  5. Am I reading the new production rules correctly - is the Apex forward set flat trigger for the M&P now production legal? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  6. You could shoot the IDPA classifier with something like a Glock 30 and count it for SSP, ESP, CCP, and CDP. Only reason I can think of for wanting to is someone that likes to hop divisions and needs to satisfy the rule requiring a classified in the last year to shoot a major match.

  7. Are the gun manufacturers being reasonable about licensing or highway robbery?
  8. The match has to be conducted in a way to evaluate them equally. That doesn't every individual stage does.
  9. The relevant rules have already been listed: Appendix D8 #12 All references to “handgun” are deemed to apply to PCC as well, except where the terms “holstering”, “drawing”, or “re-holstering” are referenced. PCC handling is specifically referenced in the PCC rules addendum. 5.1.11 Handguns offering “burst” and/or fully automatic operation are prohibited. The combination of those rules seem to clearly rule out the use of an automatic PCC.
  10. That's interesting. I shot a local match this weekend that started with the unloaded gun and mags on a table. After shooting a few targets while seated, you grabbed mag(s) and moved on to one other shooting position. Only one more mag was needed to complete the CoF, but most folks just put their three mags on the table, and left one behind. I prepared to shoot I asked the SO about leaving a mag behind. He thought for a second and said I couldn't. So I didn't. Nor did I argue for all the previous shooters to get PEs. Move along. FWIW, I found much more range lawyering going on at local USPSA matches than local IDPA. I don't think either rule book is more conducive to that -- it's people who create that. Sometimes on stages like that it's beneficial to do a tac load before leaving. Start with one extra mag on the table, instead of storing that before leaving, store the mag you used to shoot the first few targets and load the full one if that gives you enough to finish the stage.
  11. I think the "per target" rules it out. Probably a silly idea anyway.
  12. Would that have to be Virginia, or just a requirement in the WSB? (And would that be legal - targets (other than disappearing targets) that don't have to be engaged?) Yes Virginia, and like I said, not sure even I like it. All targets would have to be engaged, just not engaged equally.
  13. It actually put a thought in my head - does the number of shots allowed in Virginia count have to match the number of shots scored. I've been tossing that idea in my head to see if any applications come to mind. Something like 10 shots allowed, score best 6 on each target and have a closer target with two tight no-shoots and an open but much longer range target, shooter gets the choice of how to use the 10 allowed shots. Not sure if it's legal, less sure I like it, but it's a stage idea rolling in my noggin.
  14. Just a note - NROI has issued a clarification for 9.4.5.3 that changes "insufficiently" to "incorrectly" engaged in the string or stage (just so we don't get into arguing semantics around that as we move along here... ). Gary owes you a cookie. There was only one target engaged insufficiently per string. There were 2 targets engaged incorrectly. You're right, I was forgetting T2 was actually done right. if the word is insufficiently - 2 procedurals, incorrectly it's 4.
  15. Just a note - NROI has issued a clarification for 9.4.5.3 that changes "insufficiently" to "incorrectly" engaged in the string or stage (just so we don't get into arguing semantics around that as we move along here... ). That's more than semantics. If the word changes from insufficiently to incorrectly, that makes it 6 procedurals as all of the targets were engaged incorrectly in each string.
  16. 4 procedurals for stacked shots, unless the WSB authorized stacked shots. Two targets were insufficiently engaged in each string. Score best 4 hits on each target. 9.4.5.3 Stacked shots (i.e. obviously shooting more than the required rounds on a target(s) while shooting other target(s) with fewer shots than specified in any string), will incur one procedural penalty per target insufficiently engaged in any string. This penalty will not be applied if the written stage briefing specifically authorizes stacked shots.
  17. For Virginia scoring? If one shot misses the intended target and hits another I score it as a miss on the target with one hole and a extra shot on the target with 3 holes. Best 2 per paper for score.9.4.5.3 Stacked shots (i.e. obviously shooting more than the required rounds on a target(s) while shooting other target(s) with fewer shots than specified in any string) I read obviously as intentionally If the shooter fired 7 shots at the first target which only required 6, and then only fires 5 at the second target to avoid a penalty for the extra shot, they get the penalty for stacked shots. The obviously fired more than required at the first and less than required at the second.I don't agree with that at all. That is simply an extra shot and hit on a target and a mike on the other.Stacking is much more sinister and only applies to one target. I'm thinking an obvious example would be on a comstock COF when a shooter shoots extra shots on the freestyle string because he knows he sucks weak hand If there are say 3 targets, each requiring 6 hits. If you fire 7 at one, 5 at the second, and 6 at the third, it cant' be a penalty for extra shots, extra shots are per string. The string required 18 shots and the shooter fired 18 shots. 9.4.5.1 Extra shots (i.e. shots fired in excess of the number specified in a component string or stage), will each incur one procedural penalty. Additionally, during scoring, no more than the specified number and highest scoring hits will be awarded. It would be stacked shots - the shooter obviously fired more than the required number of shots at one target, and fewer than required at another. 9.4.5.3 Stacked shots (i.e. obviously shooting more than the required rounds on a target(s) while shooting other target(s) with fewer shots than specified in any string), will incur one procedural penalty per target insufficiently engaged in any string. This penalty will not be applied if the written stage briefing specifically authorizes stacked shots. In the end, I don't guess it matters which you call it, the resulting score is the same. I don't agree with the earlier comment that you can equate obviously to intentionally. It's possible when driving that someone could not be paying attention and run a stop sign. They may not have intended to run the stop sign, but to an observer watching them, it would be obvious that they did in fact run the stop sign.

  19. If they leave a shot off of another target they get a penalty for stacking shots instead of one for extra shots.
  20. In reference to #17 5 alpha and a pe for extra hit in addition to the pe at the line for extra shot. The order of hits doesn't make any difference. You score the 5 best hits. 9.4.5 In a Virginia Count Course of Fire or a Fixed Time Course of Fire: 9.4.5.1 Extra shots (i.e. shots fired in excess of the number specified in a component string or stage), will each incur one procedural penalty. Additionally, during scoring, no more than the specified number and highest scoring hits will be awarded. 9.4.5.2 Extra hits (i.e. hits on the scoring area of scoring paper targets in excess of the total number specified in the stage), will each incur one procedural penalty. Note that hits on hard cover and/or no-shoots are not treated as Extra Hits
  21. I'm right handed and left eye dominant, just moving it over works for me. Long guns on the other hand I still haven't figured out.
  22. A bit of Devil's advocate here---- How do you define the back of the stage or course of fire? We don't have a marking for that. You can't say it's the fault lines - we're routinely able to go outside or even start outside of them.
  23. Thanks for the replies. I've been loading FP, but have to load them pretty short for my M&P. I've been thinking of trying round nose to see if they would pass the plunk test with a little longer OAL.
