Dead Buff Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 While scanning through some IPSC websites I often come across pics of the winners with their trophies with drawn guns. I'm not going to be shot through the screen, so I do not care and I like the pics......but......is the "legal" within the rules and under what circumstances?

Nik Habicht Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 To be on the safe side use a zoom lens If You're going to photograph a gun in someone else's hands from anywhere close to straight ahead, do yourself a favor and set up a remote trigger.....

Dead Buff Posted October 8, 2004 Author Share Posted October 8, 2004 Thread drift: ...remote trigger, some radio controls, servo motors, wheels and have fun from your chair.... -------------- OK, but when does the match then end? I'm asking these Q's since I would feel real uncomfortable with guys "running" around with guns on a range. Maybe a dedicated photo area under supervision from a CRO/RO?

Flexmoney Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 ...do yourself a favor and set up a remote trigger..... nik, do you know where I can get one that fits a Para? If you put one on a Para...it would break by association. Of course, if you put a camera down range of a Para...it might get busted as the parts fly off the gun.

Garfield Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 OK, but when does the match then end? 6.6.3 A match, tournament or league will be deemed to have started on the first day that competitors (including those specified above) shoot for score and will be deemed to have ended when the results have been declared final by the Match Director.

Carmoney Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I'm asking these Q's since I would feel real uncomfortable with guys "running" around with guns on a range.Maybe a dedicated photo area under supervision from a CRO/RO? Funny what worries some people. I've decided that while there is no such thing as being too safe, there is in fact such a thing as being too safety-conscious. As for me, I've never had the experience of feeling unsafe around a shooter competent enough to be holding a gun in one hand and a trophy in the other....even if there's no CRO, RO, or HMFIC anywhere in sight.

Jim Norman Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 If you put one on a Para...it would break by association. Of course, if you put a camera down range of a Para...it might get busted as the parts fly off the gun. Flex, The only part on my Para to break was the Bomar vertical adjustment screw and a Wolf Firing pin spring. That after at least 50,000 rounds. Para not the problem, just have a good gunsmith build it! Jim Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detlef Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 as Jim says. Real guns are made of metal, not plastic... I'm surprised noone picked up on the definition of when the match is over. Think scores are posted, now you can point your gun anywhere, throw it in the trunk? Think again, you will be DQ'd until at least (so I read it) the protest period is over. --Detlef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Pinto Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I'm surprised noone picked up on the definition of when the match is over. Think scores are posted, now you can point your gun anywhere, throw it in the trunk? Think again, you will be DQ'd until at least (so I read it) the protest period is over. For the sake of clarity, the 1 hour protest period applies from when the provisional results are posted: 9.8.2 After all competitors have completed a match, the provisional stage results should be published and posted in a conspicuous place by the Stats Officer for the purpose of verification by competitors. 9.8.3 If a competitor detects an error in the provisional results at the end of the match, they must file an appeal with the Stats Officer not later than 1 hour after the results are posted. If the appeal is not filed within the time limit, the posted scores will stand and the appeal will be dismissed. However once the 1 hour period has passed and the MD declares the results are "final" (see Rule 6.6.3 above), the match is over. ------------------------------ (Neil: I think we need to change the word "should" to "must"!?)

Neil Beverley Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 (Neil: I think we need to change the word "should" to "must"!?) Vince On the face of it I agree but I've got a niggling doubt that we debated this issue and settled on "should" for a reason. I'll try to reseach it. However, otherwise it does seem to scream out doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've now checked and there is absolutely no change to this rule from the 14th Edition to the January 2004 Edition so I must have been thinking of something else.

Vince Pinto Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Neil, Thanks for the research - I've now added the proposed change to The List. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detlef Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 Ta' for the clarification. There was a case of *throwing it in the trunk* at USPSA Area 6 2 (or 3?) y ago, and the competitor was DQ'd. I do not remember whether final results had been posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
