Sometimes it seems so... Stick around, you'll see.......

So if out in the open, you run dry, you have to retreat to cover? From page 76, IDPA rule book Cover: 1) More than 50% of the shooter’s upper torso must be behind cover while engaging threat targets and/or reloading. For low cover, one knee must be on the ground and for vertical cover such as a wall/barricade, 100% of the shooter’s legs and feet must be behind cover. All reloads must be executed from cover (if cover is available) and must be completed before leaving cover. A shooter is deemed loaded and may move from a position of cover ONLY when the fresh magazine is FULLY SEATED and the slide is fully forward or revolver cylinder is closed. Shooters may not move from one position of cover to another with an empty gun. Reloads must be completed from cover, however this does not mean that a shooter must duck back completely behind cover to reload before reengaging targets from a stationary firing point. The contestant may keep his eyes on his next “opponent” as long as he follows the definition of cover and does not expose too much of his body to the next threat target. "Serpentine Shelly.

I don't care who your are, That's FUNNY right there! LOL

reamer & a good gun plumber is all that is needed, and what a Great choice I must say!

I think this should be in "humor", we may have a Joker or Of course you could simply be mis-informed............ There are no case feeders for SQ deals other than your right hand....

Use a Bedell, or look for real small wiper blades! That baby is going to catch some flame!

Sounds like a training issue. I don't claim to know how it works, but they use it here in the Northeast pretty effectively. Harvard MA uses it for local matches & the scores are up before I get home. They read the final hits & time to the shooter before they end the stage. In twenty years I have had plenty of "mistakes" made on my scores the old fashion way. Give ot another chance

I started in 88, Seemed like a lot less shots per stage, with much farther shooting. (our flintlocks took a long time to load!) Usually went prone & had standards (30-50 yards). Almost always shooting boxes, not many free fire zones. Looking back, it seems boring compared to the high round count & great props we have today. It was great fun & got us where we are today!

Dan Bedell said it best: Trust your dot. Me repeating it is easy, learning to ALWAYS do it, takes some work

In 9x21 1.2250 oval, I use 9.0 grains of 540 (same as HS6) 169PF in my Bedell shorties. Start at 8.5 & crony.........

closer look at our RO: Joined: 11/21/06 RO Certification: Range Officer RO Certification date: 9/10/07

it is like a Twinkie........... good forever

I agree. Maybe we can all paint our fingernails a nice bright color I think the real issue in this case was the shooter engaging anything? And what is engagement? One look at that stage, and there was plenty to shoot at while moving. and that is where the problem with fingers & free fire zones begins........IMHO of course Oh yeah, I shot that stage soon after the incident. You can bet I was thinking about my finger all the time!

Juniors are DQ'd for lying about their age by the time I'm done....................

If you're finalizing your plan when you're on deck, you're already toast...that's the point I'm trying to make. If you need more than 5 minutes + "on deck time" you need to shoot bullseye.(you will know the course years in advance) Toast, maybe............ I like Jiff on my toast. (some folks like Skippy)

I think 5 minutes is fine, but RO's need to let only the on deck shooter on the range soon as range is clear. That also includes the RO's staying out of the way, so the next shooter can finalize his plan.

The rule dates back to days of old when we shot from box A to Box B etc.. (in the box you were engaging, outside you were "MOVING") As matches have gone to 30-50 YARD FREE FIRE ZONES, that come to no where near "8 rounds from any one position" rule 1.2.1.2 “Medium Courses” must not require more than 16 rounds to complete and no more than 3 shooting locations. Course design and construction must not require more than 8 scoring hits from any single location or view, nor allow a competitor to shoot all targets in the course of fire from any single location or view. 1.2.1.3 “Long Courses” in Level III or higher matches must not require more than 32 rounds to complete. Course design and construction must not require more than 8 scoring hits from any single location or view, nor allow a competitor to shoot all targets in the course of fire from any single location or view. It may be time to re-visit the rule,

Gary, we are all over weight by at least two Blizzards, You may have salt free popcorn instead............................. and the Lite Beer of your choice........... My concern is also this "Dairy Queen" guy. Is he from P'Town or Key West?? As for lite beer, this is as lite as I go If your over weight........... It doesn't matter what beer you drink

A friend of ours (a Landscaper) started cutting my grass out of pity 10 years ago. I've been happy to pay him ever since........................ Only one rule, have it cut before Friday!, so there is no chance of my wife making me do it on a weekend!
