Interesting and expected results. It looks like rules made without member support end up being ignored.

Ok, traditional thinking has always been consistent with what TxD says and I just assumed that Duane meant what TxD said. But the “book” (page 80) describes the differences between a Tac-Load and a Reload with Retention. Page 68 specifies that Stage three is a “Tactical Load” (now another Bill Wilson way to describe a reload and not one listed in the appendix..). JD45 – you are correct in pointing out the irony of Bill Wilson saying that COF’s should be designed so Tac-Loads or Reloads with Retention are done off the clock (page 50 ) while at the same time he requires them to be done ON the clock during the classifier. I guess it’s best to assume that the two are totally interchangeable in ALL instances (as specified on page 41), including the classifier. This should prove for some “interesting” discussions at our local club when a COF will call specifically call for a Tac-Load penalizing anyone doing a RWR.

Hopefully this is a simple question with a simple answer. Stage 3 of the classifier calls for Tactical Reloads. Page 41 of the new rulebook says in bold print that, "Tactical Reloads and Reloads with Retention are interchangeable." Does this mean a shooter can substitute a Reload with Retention for a Tactical Reload when shooting the classifier?

Check out the Practical Division at Phoenix Rod and Gun - http://www.phoenixrodandgun.org/ We are right in the city and the best kept secret in Arizona. One note - At all of the ranges I know of, you will need a membership to use most ranges/facilities (no practical shooting is available on the public ranges) and at most Phoenix area ranges you will also need a key and/or range privileges to use the practical range and equipment. Due to liability issues, you will likely have trouble doing that during a short visit.
