ima45dv8 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I've got a real puzzler that has me stumped. Scenario: Talented, lithe, and devilishly handsome shooter fires 4 fast rounds between a pair of double-stacked barrels at 2 targets. The last round sounds like it hit a barrel but the lightning quick shooter has already departed for other opportunities when it finally registers in his mind. He says to himself, "I am NOT taking a Mike on that!" and reverses course in a blur. The RO and the camera man were almost run down. A messy situation was only narrowly avoided. At the conclusion of the CoF the RO offers the shooter a reshoot due to interference. The lightning-quick, talented and devilishly handsome competitor accepts. While the competitor is reloading his magazines (and the RO is mumbling something about his life flashing before his eyes), a couple of members of the peanut brained gallery begin chiding the competitor with taunts of extreme gaming, disbelief he would even accept the reshoot, and claims of him taking advantage of an inexperienced RO with his movements. Rules question: Should the shooter have told Singlestack and BOZ to stop crying like schoolyard sissies, or just point out who beat both of their butts in the match? I'm struggling to make the right call here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvhendrix Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Mark, I like you last option! The RO offered within acceptable rules and the shooter decided to shoot over. No problem with the RO call but I like your solution to the whinning. Take CARE Stay SAFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nik Habicht Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 If you (Talented, lithe, and devilishly handsome shooter) were the shooter, perhaps an eye examination is in order here..... :D It might even help with calling the shot without resorting to hearing.... :P Of course, I'm not sure that I could pass up an opportunity to tell SS to stop crying......

Singlestack Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 While I'm sure ima45dv8 is doing his best to describe the event, I'm afraid his rose colored shooting glasses and his desire might have altered his perception a bit. While the competitor is reloading his magazines (and the RO is mumbling something about his life flashing before his eyes), a couple of members of the peanut brained gallery begin chiding the competitor with taunts of extreme gaming, disbelief he would even accept the reshoot, and claims of him taking advantage of an inexperienced RO with his movements. That much is true. As for the rest, I'll let you be the judge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7wdIm1eQTk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Such clever editing... He looked like a victim of Top Shot! It's a good thing the shooter changed direction once he met up with the RO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperman Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Mark, Did you teach him to use those range commands with every shooter, or are they reserved just for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boz1911 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Taking advantage of a new RO is not really something I'd personally put on Enos, but then again we wouldn't have seen DrawandDuck's video..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecichlid Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 OMG I love this one! Just released 1st hand RO camera footage... Oh God... I just sprayed orange juice on my keyboard If I had been drinking something it would have been all over my laptop and the wall on the other side of the room. While I'm sure ima45dv8 is doing his best to describe the event, I'm afraid his rose colored shooting glasses and his desire might have altered his perception a bit. As for the rest, I'll let you be the judge. Back and to the left, back and to the left, back and to the left.... I say reshoot as the the shooter was interfered with by the RO as he backed up. Something somewhat like this happened to me while backing up on a stage that required the shooter to move up range. Mark and Brian have met me and will vouch I am not a small guy so one can assume it takes as much to stop all this once I get it all moving as it does to get it moving in the first place. I shoot the targets in front of me and turn to run up range keeping the gun pointed down range and out ran the RO who is five foot on a good day and about a buck fifty. Needless to say it did affect my time but since it was a Level 1 match and he is a good friend of mine *and was clearly more shaken about it than me* I didn't push the reshoot although it was required by the rule book and should have been given.
