ErikW Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Wednesday, 3 PM, first stage of the 3 Gun Nationals for the range officers shooting the match, Bay 1, shotgun and rifle. I'm third or fourth, doing my on-deck walk-through. Someone is in my way in the shooting area... it's not a shooter, not an RO, but.... Kurt Miller! <cue dastardly music> aka kurtm on these forums. I gave him the evil eye and he slinked off the stage like a rat. He's lucky BDH wasn't there and "off with their heads" uscbigdawg didn't see that. Later, as an RO, I could be heard on Bay 5 with my newly-invented and entirely unofficial range command... "YOU! Off the stage!" ...protecting innocent squads from marauding course-crashers such as kurtm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 To be fair to the Weak But Fast one, kurtm, I doubt that he was getting in the way of shooters Friday through Sunday. But getting in the way of a shooting RO in a squad of ROs in Thursday's RO match, man, that's playing with fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 It's . . . foolhardy! To say the least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDH Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 He's lucky BDH wasn't there and "off with their heads" uscbigdawg didn't see that. Actually, I would have 'politely' asked him to step back. What was bugging me on Bay 5 was that more than once we had shooters from another squad up on the stage (usually, the afternoon squads, as I can't remember us ever being back up). I was just glad that Jay was the CRO so he could bark at them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikW Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 Does rule 8.7.5 state a punishment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Does rule 8.7.5 state a punishment? From the (IPSC) red book: 8.7.5 No person is permitted to enter or move through a course of fire without the prior approval of a Range Officer assigned to that course of fire or the Range Master. Violators will incur a warning for the first offense but may be subject to the provisions of Section 10.6 for subsequent offenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted July 2, 2004 Author Share Posted July 2, 2004 Warning, huh? Are the ROs supposed to carry yellow cards and hold them up at the first infraction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Warning, huh? Are the ROs supposed to carry yellow cards and hold them up at the first infraction? What about a whip? I guess a couple of lashes could be a good warning for everybody... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
