astephenson Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 If you were the SO what would you call? I would have congratulated him on an excellent run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwb01 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 What's everyone's opinion on double tapping a rearwards falling popper? I have heard rumblings at matches that one should not do that, as frags can be angled back uprange due to the backwards angle as the steel falls. I will hammer a popper with 2-3 rounds if it is really slow to fall and activate a moving target. Since IDPA forces everyone to shoot the same stage plan, it is important to gain any advantage possible. Typically, a popper/mover combo must be shot in the same sequence by all competitors, thus forcing somewhat similar stage times. Therefore, if I can drive the steel activator a split second faster, I am going to do it. Also, most of us are not waiting for the PING! If my shot looked sketchy, I am going to shoot at it again as fast as possible. Sometimes that results in two hits. But you are cheating GAMER who openly admits to "DUMPING" !!!!

sanman Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I would give him a cover call on the target to the left. His feet are way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glock3422 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I would give him a cover call on the target to the left. His feet are way out. Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirveyr Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I would give him a cover call on the target to the left. His feet are way out. Seriously? I am pretty sure he is joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strick Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I got a cover call at nationals while shooting prone through a hole at the bottom of the wall. Evidently my foot was sticking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigamortis Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Our club just went to forward falling poppers only to eliminate the possibility of lead leaving the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes joking, with out reading the course discription it is apparently horizontal cover. It would have been nice if they had made it wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imboostedru Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 At least this one isn't as obvious as the 2011 indoor nationals where he magically had to shoot 3 right before a reload at least two times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strick Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yes!!!! The mystery is solved about how he manages to win so much and by such a wide margin..............he shoots more shots than other shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirveyr Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Brian, Would you please shut the hell up! If you keep giving out the secret, the MA/DM classes will be overflowing in no time. Then what? IDPA will need to make a STUDM (Super Turbo Ultra Distinguished Master) class. Sheesh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastarget Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 If I were the SO, I would send my own ass home for not doing my job! This SO is watching the hits down range when his ONLY focus should be the gun. My pet peeve. Pat +1 to that.. ZzlLaX maybe, but this SO is just there to be in the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 If I was the SO I would issue the correct range commands before the COF began. <pet peeve> Which range command did he mess up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Do you understand the course of fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul-the new guy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Oh, I didn't take that as a command more like a question. What if the shooter did have a question about the course of fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirveyr Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Oh, I didn't take that as a command more like a question. What if the shooter did have a question about the course of fire? They should've asked it during the walkthrough. When a competitor comes to the line, all they should hear is "LAMR" followed by the other range commands.

Merlin Orr Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Oh, I didn't take that as a command more like a question. What if the shooter did have a question about the course of fire? Simple question gets a polite - and hopefully accurate answer. More complicated question gets an polite offer to go to the back of the line and watch some shooters prior to his/her shooting.

Paul-the new guy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Is there an so book where you can learn this stuff or just the rule book? I would think, understand the course of fire is fine but ideally would be asked before lamr in this case the shooter was already hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It's not a major "offense"...just a peeve of mine. Especially annoying when every SO in every bay has a different set of commands. I think from now on I'm just going to tell them "No english" when I get to the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahab Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 At least this one isn't as obvious as the 2011 indoor nationals where he magically had to shoot 3 right before a reload at least two times. So you can read minds now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
