FWIW ... During equipment checks at the US IPSC Nationals I found that Walther actually does make and offer a tungsten guide rod.
-
From IPSC App. D4a #19.4:
Aftermarket springs are permitted, provided they are in the same configuration as the original.
So ... if it's the same configuration as the original, OK. Otherwise, no.

I'm unconvinced that a backstrap would fall under the guise of grip panels for this rule.
-
You're assuming a brass backstrap is allowable. I'm not convinced. Grip panels are one thing, but I'm unconvinced that the backstrap is part of a grip panel.

That's GREAT news! You're a year out an NO CANCER! Yeah, oncology gave me the same story on chemo and radiation. Of the two, radiation's a BITCH!
The good news is you're clean. Get ready for all the descriptions of your 'new normal.' Yeah, I'd like to have my 'old normal back too. But we're both still ALIVE!
Congratulations!!!

Actually, check the thread posted by @ChuckS and pinned to the rules discussions ...
He's documented it quite well. 2008 was our first independent rule set.

As i wrote above, the front page of the USPSA Rule book stated on the bottom "USPSA/IPSC", so that seems to be confusing to me
USPSA is a member region of IPSC and in our legal filings for our corporate name we have ALWAYS been listed as USPSA/IPSC. We formally went our own way with an independent set of rules (albiet rooted in and based on IPSC rules) in 2008.
Again ... Confuse and conflate the two sets of rules at your own risk!
-
Yes, please ... but only if the reply is as silly as my suggestion!
-
Do not confuse USPSA rules with IPSC rules. Though in MANY respects they are the same, there can be (as in Production) substantial differences. Neither set of rules has authority over the other.

Can we maybe get about halfway back to the OP? How about tungsten base pads?

That match is 1,400km from where he lives in Japan and an almost 10 hour train ride.
Even so ... Contacting them may lead to information on other matches or clubs closer to him.

Yes, see Appendix D4 and D4a. The only exception is if the base pads add significant weight to the magazine(18.2), [...]
There's been significant discussion within IROA over the last year or so as to what constitutes "significant weight" with no discernable answer as yet.
-
Understood, @perttime. However, the context of my comment had to do with default start positions, not with rules dealing with increased/decreased safety angles.

If there is no position dictated start position is facing downrange, as in facing downrange.
From the IPSC Glossary, 12.5:
QuoteDownrange.......................... The general area of a stage, shooting bay or range, where the muzzle of a firearm may be
safely pointed during a course of fire and/or where bullets are intended or are likely to impact.So ... By definition, facing downrange is anything forward of 90 degrees to the median intercept of the backstop (i.e., forward of the 180.) It's no tighter than under USPSA rules, in that respect.
-
There is no PCC at this year's IPSC Nationals ... Just HG.

IPSC are moving towards demonstrating the start position, to try and remove any way of "gaming" it. They will even sometimes enforce the direction your head is facing (so no looking to the side to your first shooting position while waiting for the beep)
IPSC has been demonstrating start positions for a couple decades ...
-
It's not that tungsten guide rods are per se prohibited in P/PO. If a firearm on the approved list comes with one from the factory, or if it is available as an OEM option, it's legal.
It is not approved for use if it's an aftermarket part.
-
OK ... This is REALLY old and, undoubtedly no longer "official," however, the most current guidance I can find on the subject is from the USPSA Classification Matches Manual (2013), page 3 ...
QuoteIn circumstances where target heights are not specified, use the standard measurement of 5 feet high at shoulders. For shooting boxes that do not include dimensions, use boxes that are 3 feet by 3 feet. Poppers placed in front of paper targets are 4 feet from the rear target unless otherwise specified. Again, if there is any doubt, call the USPSA office for clarification.
I ran the question up the flagpole last night, but the only answer I got (at this point) is that CM 23-02 does not contain information on target height.
Sorry ... Best information I can come up with on short notice! As someone else said, check with DNROI.

If you scale the targets in the diagram, it looks like 4ft to the shoulders.
I have never seen the diagrams actually done to scale. Overhead sketches showing wall and target locations, sure. But artwork, no.
-
You're right ... No hits on Google. Where's the club and who's running the match. (Need more info ...)

My thought process ... If the individual has done something egregious enough to warrant the host organization to declare him persona non grata, might that also not rise to the level of 6.4.4(b)? Not saying it does here, but I see the potential for it.
-
Seems to me that that individual should probably also have been reported to USPSA, even though it was the host club that made the call and not the MD. Just thinkin' out loud here ...
6.4.4 and 6.4.5
Permitted modifications in CO
in USPSA/IPSC Rules

Disregard ... I was looking at Production rules, not CO.
