lawboy Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Question: When shooting through a low port on a wall made of snow fence, it is it against the rules to point shoot the targets while looking through the snow fence rather than getting down into the low port to use your sights? Mind, you, the shots are taken through the port, NOT through the fence. Here is what I mean. Happens starting at 0:13. I am asking because after searching the rulebook I could not find a rule on point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 No rule against it, but be careful -- it's easier to send one over the berm, into the ground, or to break the 180 (depending on how the port is situated) when doing this.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawboy Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Nik, thanks for the info. These targets were spitting distance and were directly facing the rear berm so I was pretty comfortable doing it in this instance. Not something I would normally do for a lot of reasons but it just felt right here and worked -- six alpha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I did that at the Nationals a couple years ago. It wasn't a low port, but a weak hand shot made while I looked through the mesh of the barricade that was better than the alternative. Not a peep out of the RO.

Flexmoney Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Looks fine. If anything, I might tweak that as a stage design exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I saw Robbie do it at Tulsa Nationals one year of a really low port and two targets. Nothing in the rule book about point shooting. People do it when it seems like the best course of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I remember a stage at double tap (don't remember which match, maybe area 4 in 09?) that had two really low targets in the middle of a stage that most people point shot. eta: to answer the question; it's totally legal.
