What are you protecting it from. One would assume if it was locked into a position to where it couldn’t work as it’s original purpose that it would be okay. Now if you really want to set it up to where there won’t be any arguments or time wasted, cut it off or use it as intended.

So what’s your ruling?

lol glad we can finally agree on something. Nothing against the OP because accidents do happen. Just like breaking the 180, it will get people eventually. Now if either one becomes habit, then I’m start to feel very concerned about my safety if said person is around.

If a competitor shows up at a match wearing armor because they think they might shoot their self. Either that person or me will be leaving the range.

Thanks

Today at a local we had a no shoot target on a clam shell mover. The brown target under the no shoot was partially visible ( complete head section) while no shoot was at rest. After a few people were allowed to shoot the target before activating the mover. It was pointed out that making that move was a procedural. I did not argue the point but I had never thought about it but is this correct?

Thanks for the post. It’s horrible this has happened to you, but it’s moments like this that helps us all keep in check. Good luck with the recovery

Sorry I fixed it.

Sounds like the RO is an a_-hole. Guy just blows his gun up and he still wants to pile on procedurals? That’s bull!!!!

Sounds self explanatory to me. Is a guy watching a criminal inside a prison cell “enforcing” law? Nope neither is the guy watching the security cameras all night. So my thoughts is no. It does really matter tho. Most of us have registered our make friends as ladies for matches before.

Nowhere in the rulebook does it say anything about using common sense, and when you do use it the debates start rolling in. If you don’t follow the rulebook to a T you will be cornered up fast in this sport

I thought you were supposed to soak it in water overnight to get it loose?

It’s a must for loading precision rifle rounds

Depends how many gofer holes is in the top of the barrel and slide

I thought all salomons were from China

Usually six stages in Alabama

Okay so I tried the hellcats and I will no longer be buying salomons.

Why did the RO let you shoot 3 stages before he decided it wasn’t okay with him? What was different?

It was the best solution I seen at the time. Once I ran a guy that was completely deaf. He brought his wife to translate ALS and he asked for the timer to be lifted off his shoulder as I hit the beep. Oddly enough he wanted me to slap his shoulder if I needed to stop him. The people that shoot this sport never cease to amaze me

What if the shooter is practically deaf before adding hearing protection and asked to be tapped on the shoulder simultaneously with the beep. Is that considered to be a legal action?

Oh the rules must always be enforced, but the approach of applying them on the shooter is the tricky part. Seems to work best getting them to admit to guilt with an audience.

Usually if I reach the 4 second mark and the shooter still doesn’t have their crap together I will stop everything and start over slowly

Sarge. Well how is it fair to everyone else that the slacker on their squad creates problems and headaches for all of them all day? That’s kinda like supporting these fools that want to burn down their city even though they are too lazy to work. And then want the rest of the hard working citizens to fix the town back like it was. I get that nothing in life is fair. Isn’t it nice tho when you are honest and straight forward with LEO’s and they use common sense to help you in your situation? Or do you prefer them to be a dick and enforce every possible violation they think of on you?

Maybe it makes me a bad RO and I should turn in my cards. All officials for everything are more successful and sought after if they are honest fair and use common sense as much as possible

I kinda see where you’re coming from. If the shooter hasn’t fired a shot or broke his feet why not let them start over for whatever reason. Now if the guy has been a no pasting douche all day then go full hardass on him.
