If he suffered no injuries at that distance with a rifle, he should play the lotto while his luck is still good. 15ft(5 yards) with a rifle = retarded.

You could always just call DP.

Using barrels as vision barriers when hit can allow a bullet to enter, spin around, and come back out of another hole in any direction. I'm sure you have heard the buzzing noise at times when a barrel is shot. Most times the bullet will not escape, but if it does it can still be at a high velocity.

If you're within a hundredth (.010), the gun runs consistently, and you're not getting pressure signs, and you're making your declared power factor, I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

.010 = ten thousands, not a hundreth
Sorry...........someone had to do it
Then how many thousandths are equal to a hundredth?

If it was enough contact for him to notice it then it was in his head during the course of fire. Which is a distraction and possibly caused the brain fart during the second string. I think a reshoot was the correct call.

To the others who are looking for a USPSA rule on this, there ain't one and if you are running a match with a "true" single paper target Mozambique, you ain't gonna' be able to deal with the lawers by pointing to any rules in the book.
If it's a Level I club match, just word the course description like I did and you are good to go with a verbal warning at the walk-through.
As far as the scoring of 3 in the lower portion of the target goes, it would be 2 hit's and 1 mike, end of story.
Another way to do it within the rule book for Level II and higher matches would be to use a Classic target (Turtle) with a standard target right behind it that has everything but the upper A/B blacked out as hard cover. Position them so the upper A/B sits righ above the Turtle and you are good to go within the rules.
Sorry, I thought the only difference for level I was this.
US1.1.5.1 Level I matches are not required to comply strictly with the
freestyle requirements or round count limitations.
And for your fix for Level II and higher, I don't think you can mix Classic and Metric targets in the same stage.
4.2.1 There are two types of paper targets approved for use in IPSC
Handgun matches (see Appendix B ). These types must not be
included together in any stage.
My point in this discusion is not to get under anyones skin, but to answer the question " Is there a written standard foer this for a USPSA match?", and to voice that in my opinion clubs that run USPSA matches (whether they be 3-gun or pistol) should adhere to the USPSA rule book when designing stages.
-
Back to the question. There is no USPSA rule to use in standardizing this so the course description has to be custom worded to provide the desired result.
Here is my most recent approach scored Virginia Count (as most I have ever shot have been):
On signal engage T1-T3 with one round in the upper A/B zone and two rounds in the lower A/C/D zone each.
So in a USPSA stage written as such how would you score a target that has only 3 hits in the lower A zone. And please quote the USPSA rule that supports such scoring.

Impact IPSC WILL NOT have a June match. Due to a scheduling conflict with the range all 5 bays were not available. We plan on having our first match July 9th. Please keep an eye on the Texas South Section website http://www.texassouthsection.com/ for details.
Scott R, I am not familiar with IMPACT. Is this the first match of the season for you guys or is this the first match period for IMPACT?
How do I attend the match? Do I just show up?
Impact IPSC shut down several months ago and we are restarting the clubs operations. Currently we are trying to work out scheduling conflicts with other operations at the range in order to have 5 bays available. At this point we are not certain that there will be a match every month, so be sure to monitor the TSS website.
-
USPSA rules don't support scoring different zones on a target as seperate targets. In other words if the course description requires 3 hits to the targets then the best 3 hits per target are scored.

I googled "powder burn rate chart" and after looking at several charts it appears that there is about a 60% chance that Tight Group is slightly faster than WST
. Obviously there is not a standardized test for powder burn rate. -
Myself and one of my shooting buddies have been using WST in .40 for a while now for all the reasons you mentioned. I tried Tight Group for a while but went back to WST (no difference in feel but WST fills the case more).

Sharyn,
I might be able to make the next ice cream and cobbler feast, but only if you promise not to put me in a thong.

Thanks for welcoming me to the forums.
Mike, take it easy with the Harley jokes, you know I'm the sensitive type.
Hey I've got a cool bike pic for the avatar if I can find a way to get the file small enough.

Don't forget to address the root cause of the screw coming out in the first place. It is possible the front site needs to be shorter so the screw is not backed out so far.
