Charles Bond Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 3.3 Range Officers may assess additional "unsportsmanlike conduct" procedural penalties to competitors that intentionally fail to make a good faith effort to engage and hit targets on order to gain advantage. The Range Master and Match Director shall be the final arbiters of any such penalties. This is like just pull the trigger at a long shot and not really try to hit it. Never seen it called. Usually this will be explained in the written stage briefing or by one of the RO's. Don't worry about it. Just shoot every target you see as fast as you can and life will be good. It's because of last year's long range stage. I don't think you need a rule like that (plus it is kind of arbitrary) - all you have to do is make the time penalty severe enough to make it worth hitting long range targets. If a 300 yard miss is +5, that target might not get hit a whole bunch compared to one that is +30. Yeah and considering that it is 100sec max and if it is windy then you know hit it once take the penalty of +5sec if you miss it so that you can hit other targets and don't timeout. So i will be called with "unsportsmanlike conduct" if i do that? Gee. I guess maybe it would be better if we had a non subjective rule on that but no one likes a "100 page rule book".

Are you shooting AM again this year? Yes, I am shooting AM again this year. Actually our whole squad from last year is shooting AM again -1 guy that is on the waiting list. I really like the sort of layed back down and dirty stages the AMs had last year. Our squad got along great and I can't wait to shoot with them again.

Received confirmation this evening, I plan to shoot tac scope. It ought to be a fun match again, I got to shoot one of Gary's KY multi-gun matches a few years back and it was great.

bigjimmy57 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I would be fine with no slugs. I liked the way Jeff said it anything you would shoot a slug at you can shoot a rifle at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the converse, anything you can shoot a rifle at, you can shoot a slug at. It a game, a competition , using slugs is artful part of shotgun game. Difficult to master. Lots of people complain about flying clays "theres' a sport for that" . I love flying clays, important part of 3 Gun. I love slugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Bond Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Actually I like it all. Slugs are best if your using the LaRue steel targets or a stationary piece of steel due to the instant feedback. But I like buckshot better especially since most US matches do not use it and of course it is a lot easier to put up a piece of paper for the reset than it is to pick up steel targets used for birdshot.
