Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. From what I've experienced, it does not matter how perfect you do your walk thru, the plan turns to crap after the timer goes off. One feed jam, one fumbled reload, and "oh damn where was i?" Sets in.
  2. We had offered to help with the setup 2 days prior, even though our travel time was 1 hour 40 minutes away. The match officer thanked us kindly for the offer but did say he had plenty of help. If regards to the nailed down 2x4 foul lines they use, I guess practicing on a balance beam to give me better one footed shooting next time will be a start.
  3. Thanks for your input guys. It's not in my nature to complain about such things. I do enjoy the sport, been competing off and on since the early 80's, back when it was just IPSC. But back then we didn't push the limits on impracticality when it came to target placement. USPSA is a great organization don't get me wrong, they (IMO) should increase the setback, further down range when it come to setting targets. Whether it's and experienced shooter or a newbie on the line, its a bit unnerving seeing a weapon pointed at 90 degrees from the foul line.
  4. Recently competed at a local USPSA match. After doing our walk through I addressed personal concern with a follow shooter about how close some of the targets were placed to the front foul line. In one instance the shooter loads and makes ready facing down range, reholster, rotate and face uprange for the starting position, then must turn and engage targets to his left and right. The issue of turning the correct way as to NOT laser anyone uprange wasn't the problem, but how close those targets were set to the foul line. I personal feel this should NOT be ""part of the challenge". Several shooters in the past have been DQ;ed based on the CRO judgement call of breaking the 180 rule. Why if this is the norm are we tempting fate? The RO's have plenty of other opportunities do DQ a shooter during the course of the day, but busting a shooter right out of the shooters box for breaking a 180 rule is total BS in my opinion. Isn't there set rules for target location. Perhaps a better way to define or layout a setup of targets so they are more angled down range?
