At Level II matches and above, just before I read the WSB, I request that everyone other than the next shooter and the people on deck or in the hole tape and reset. Then I mention that I will be the last person coming back from downrange and would like our next shooter in the box and ready to go once I get there.
Helps move competitors through the stage more efficiently and politely advises the shooter to get the majority of his "mental preflight" done while the stage is being cleared.

Revolver grips discussed in the production appendix? I think you guys just found a big typo.
Nope. You can shoot a wheelgun in Production.....
As usual, Nik beat me to the punch.

I always considered that this specifically referred to revolvers shooting in Production...not that they'd necessarily want to...but they are authorized under the Production rules.

Alright, I sent an email to John Amidon, DNROI...This is the reply I got:
Hi Andy,
A dummy round is a snap cap, a case with a spent primmer no powder and a bullet head, basically any bullet that will not fire but used to feed and eject by racking the slide or dumping the cylinder on a revolver.

Hmmm. Interesting in that 2.4.2 clearly indicates a broader definition. You may have gone and found yet another rule book hole to be plugged

BUT, as I understand it, until the gun is holstered, the range is still live and the shooter can reload and engage a target if they choose to. SO, equipment failure would be a proper call.
It's not the holstering, it's the RO having issued the ICHDH command. Per 8.3.7, “If Clear, Hammer Down, Holster” – After issuance of this command,the competitor is prohibited from firing (see Rule 10.4.3).

Long pants, long socks, ankle-length boots and Deep Woods Off spray liberally around my pants, extra on cuffs and socks every morning, kept me tick free in 2010.

finger placement doesn't matter on a flat trigger, You get the same pull on the top,middle and bottom of the pad.
Same here, Roy. I use a flat in a medium length which seems to fit me much better than curved. I find it more forgiving because it's much more consistent without requiring exact finger placement.

Also look at howard leight elec. Muff under 60 at amazon for a decent performing earmuff..very high reviews on there
I would not recommend them. They are comfortable and have good amplification and noise reduction. However, my experience with them is that the electronics start to cut in and out after a while then fail completely within a year or so. From what I've seen, and read, I'm not alone and many reportedly crap out even quicker than that.
Trying the Peltor Tacticals now...actually like the Howard Leight's better as far as fit (slim is good for rifle and shotgun) and function (plenty of gain to compensate for double plugging), but don't want to risk replacing another pair after they crap out.

Edited: 'cause I hate tipos typos!

FWIW, over the last 5 years I've used over 45K Federal SP primers and occasionally run into this type of staining in some of the sleeves...I'm in line with my bud DMH on the cause. Every single one of those primers ('cepting the one without an anvil
) worked just fine. YMMV.Curtis

REF...amount of force applied has nothing to do with it whether it is REF or not. If he feel on his kester with a misplaced kick, too bad, so sad, his problem, no REF. If his foot went through the door, breaking the prop, then prop failure screwed his run...he gets another go and it's time to get a stronger prop.
4.6.1 Range equipment must present the challenge fairly and equitably to all
competitors. Range equipment failure includes, the displacement of
paper targets, the premature activation of metal or moving targets, the
failure to reset moving targets or steel targets, the malfunction of
mechanically or electrically operated equipment, and the failure of
props such as openings, ports, and barriers.

Sort of a flash front sight/rib/index on target for steel, more precise front sight focus (bead halfway over mid-bead) for slugs especially at a distance or for steel with adjacent no-shoot steel.

I had Bobby at Freedom Gunworks stipple my STI grip and undercut it behind and on the bottom of the trigger guard. Compared with the factory grip, I really like how these mods seem to lock my hands better and more consistently onto the pistol. I have fairly large hands with long fingers, FWIW.

If anyone's interested I have a well-used Glock 34 Production gun that I'd be willing to part with for $2999.99...buy it today and I'll throw in 26 mags for free

Ive used Oxpho blue and Dicopan from Brownells. Both work well for touch up. You might want to give them a look. I like them much better then the Birchwood Casey cold blue.
The Oxpho is available in both a cream and a liquid. Both work better than any grade of the Birchwood Casey cold blues I've used.
With patience and fine steel wool, you may get something that will be satisfactory and economical.

An experienced RO will stay out of your way...if you're interfered with, you get a reshoot after it has occured...but a quick heads up is always appreciated when you change the script at the last minute.
I can move pretty fast, but I always give Max Michel Jr., Blake Miguez or the other track stars a little extra room 'cause they're way fleeter than me, in both mind and foot.

Nordic on my Benelli for sure, though I have run a Choate on a 870.

Works fine for me as is, but then I have some aggressive grip panels. YMMV.

Accurate scoring of all competitors is, to me, the most essential aspect of any match, local or major.

FCS? Full Contact Slide?
Front cocking serrations, I'd guess.

Nothing close on Saturday. That weekend has a Saturday match in Amite (but it will probably be a wash out) and way too long a haul, and a match in Thibodaux on Sunday.
Better luck next time, Mike.

Welcome. Some of the central Louisiana crew travel down to our matches in South Louisiana sometimes: great group of competitors.

RO Conundrum
in USPSA/IPSC Shooting
Posted
As you pointed out, Dan, the five different answers usually come from ROs who rely on memory (sometimes faulty), outdated rules, or "common sense" (instead of familiarity with the rule book). There are some legitimate gray areas where we puzzle over interpretation in the Rules forum, and ultimately ask the NROI for guidance. The one currently under discussion is as black and white as they come.
