    Rules questions

    in IDPA Shooting

    Posted

    No guessing required. If you're in the open and you go to slidelock, you can't begin your reload until you get to cover - period. In the best of all possible worlds, the CoF designer would've taken that into consideration and permitted any remaining steel to be engaged from cover.

    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.

    Palm Pilot scoring

    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.

    Area 7: Match DQ

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    :rolleyes:

    I have followed this closely and read every argument. My question would be what is the experience of the RO and is he truly a NROI certified RO or a shooter with a timer?

    We all know help is hard to find for matches and sometimes you do not have a person with the proper experience making these calls. I would like to know the answer on this one.

    closer look at our RO:

    You cannot DQ a person because the RO was unable to get into a position where they could easily detemine that the finger was definitely out of the guard. Saying that it is the shooters responsibility to make it visible is not acceptable because he cannot control (or even be aware) of the RO's position.

    I agree.

    Maybe we can all paint our fingernails a nice bright color :roflol:

    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

    :wacko:

    Oh yeah, I shot that stage soon after the incident.

    You can bet I was thinking about my finger all the time!

    Why five minutes?

    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.

    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" :surprise:

    you need to shoot bullseye.(you will know the course years in advance)

    :sick:

    Toast, maybe............

    Which stage was this on? There were a lot of stages this past weekend with a lot of movement. I was working stage 1 and we spoke to a few shooters regarding safety but nothing bad at all. A couple of close calls with fingers on triggers while reloading but a quick mention to the shooter after shooting and all is good. We saw very few issues and none where the shooter should have been DQ'ed.

    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,
