Full-Auto Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Yep, any hit on a plate and it must fall, if it does not then its classified as Range Equipment Failure and an automatic reshoot. That was a good summary of the action, including the now infamous DQ. I wonder if there was any grumbling to the match director and range master about that stage's design before Rob's DQ.

Funny not a word. Most people thought it was a fun stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayWord Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I was not there.. so all I can state is what I heard. I heard the r/o asked if the safety was on, the boy looks at the gun and replies, yes it is on. Was it verified, I do not know. But a couple of guys that said they saw the whole thing said the safety was on. Again, I was not there. Correction: One was Dq'd while still under the make ready. Several people that witnessed this were talking about it. And I heard the whole thing is on video but I doubt we see it. Too bad no one helped the boy arb it. There were a couple of DQ's for setting your loaded gun down on the table starts with no safety on, but they were dq'd after MR and before start signal What is the difference? Did the boy set the gun down on the table without the safety applied? The CRO for the stage stated the safety was off and was 100% sure he made the correct call. That was good enough for me. Going to arbitration would have just added to the shooters grief and cost him $100. As I told him, use it as a learning experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssracer56 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I was wondering why the boy did not arb. As a range master you should have not told the boy anything like that. At his age, he would have seen you as a person of power and influence and being upset I am sure didn't help. It was his choice to make with out any guidance and with 3 people willing to stand up and state what they saw he should have arb'd it, if for no other reason he would have left the match feeling like everything that could have been done, was done. Shooting doesn't make him a man and he would see you as a boy would. He is a boy with a 12 year old maturity level, shooter or not. I think a lot of things went wrong for that kid, and I hope this doesn't keep him from hitting the range again soon. I was not there.. so all I can state is what I heard.

RevoJunior Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I respectfully ask that any comments about my brother, please stop. This is upsetting my mother and it is a private matter between us only and we are not going to discuss it. If my brother shoots or not, that is up to him. Any DQ is hard to take and just like with Mr. Leatham this is a personal thing that shouldn't be talked about on a forum. Thank you. Jesse.

Flexmoney Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I agree. I think we can close this thread. Any other after action reports on the match (other than DQ's of a personal nature), please start a fresh thread. Thanks. CLOSED - Admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
