Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Somewhere it was pointed out that the term hit factor had been described in the 1936. Well before IPSC which used it in 1976. This is all according to John p Mark who filed with the Patent and trademark office with supporting videos to not grant the request.
  2. This has the smell of managing director and head of media relations if I was to guess. The only people with the power to do such. An attorney has already sent a letter asking for the trademark to be rejected due to its common use. This is kinda paraphrased so dont flame on exact wording.
  3. Is the wall solid and not see through? Or even if you cant see through it shoot it a few times and people stop playing games fast. Walls shouldn't be used as vision barriers. Vision barriers can get shot. Barrels are a better option. 6.5.27.1 Vision barriers are soft cover objects such as barrels, tents, fake trees, sheer curtains, etc., that are used to block or occlude the view of a target or group of targets. 6.5.27.2 Vision barriers are soft cover and may not be impenetrable or designated as hard cover. 4.7.1 Stage props are commonly used to represent hard cover or impenetrable objects such as walls, cars, barricades, and furniture such as desks and file cabinets. Truly impenetrable objects may also be used as hard cover in a stage
  4. You can do Tac reloads at will with a caveat or two. You cant tac reload while exposed to unengaged targets .Unless there is no cover anywhere on the stage then reloading and topping off is allowed. So a tac reload is allowed in that instance at any time. Where you can get bit is running empty behind a fault line then stepping out and exposing yourself to surprise or in the open targets, even if not technically visible until you move further through the stage. If they are hidden behind vision barriers you are still considered exposed. The stage description cannot dictate the type of reload period. As long as all reloads are done in accordance with IDPA rules you are good to go. If I missed anything Im sure someone will chime in.
  5. Tonight's board was the most positive step forward I have seen in awhile. Area 2 finally kept quite with the nonsensical garbage usually put out there. Reinstating 7 was only right. A year on the board and magically donna found out he didn't have continuous membership by 5 days but was totally cool with Mel not having an RO and allowing him to get it was a bad look. Maybe this is the slow turn around. Can someone confirm did they not fill the open seat with a temp for area3? Scotts? Looks like some new rules coming also effecting what hammer down for production is IE half cocked, thigh straps, and removal of gun belt with holstered gun being allowed. Those were the bigger ones I thought.
  6. You can go on facebook to the area pages except if you are area 1. The post was closed by admin after one comment. Two of the admins there happen to be board members of USPSA. Well one is again since he stepped down but now wants to be involved again. Confusing or planned hard to say.
  7. Its pathetic. Frank was in office for a solid year before they suddenly discovered this. If he was one of the boys it never would have even been looked into.
  8. This is bad. What are they thinking?
  9. It only becomes serious when you have spent your money and time traveling and get told you are shooting for no-score because suddenly today the gun magically isnt legal because its a different AC.
  10. IDPA is the most inconsistent sport when it comes to rules. With the BS at worlds to every sanctioned match. Letting JJ muzzle himself one year and file down a safety to fit in the box. I guarantee you that depending on what match you shoot you can get DQed for the grip safety. The AC's don't even talk to each other about the rules that get questioned. Having a letter from one doesn't mean jack to the AC who just upheld the DQ for pin grip safety. Its the top of this pyramid that is defunct. Refusal to fix anything in the rules and make them clear and concise with mysterious rulings across the country that only apply to that days match. Its a joke.
  11. The only thing I see is its close on weight. Might be over with a mag depending on which weight you go by from websites. But Lighten it up a bit with grips and be prepared to get it milled internally if you have to. The barrel isnt a problem. It may be a cone but that applies to CDP only. Alternatively a CZ sp-o1 or a shadow 2 with some milling also makes weight.
  12. I can leave them unattended at the safe table also.
  13. Well Troy disagrees with you also. This is about steel challenge not any other sport.
