robport Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I have a question about rule 6.9.2.6.9.2. While blind stages are not allowed in IDPA, portions of a stage can have moveable non-threat indicators to allow for a shooter to make a shoot/no shoot decision as part of the CoF. These targets must be hidden from the view of the shooter prior to reaching the shooting position where the shoot/no shoot decision is made. In order to maintain a level playing field for all shooters, the first target and the last target will not be eligible as non-threats. Is it allowable to have the moveable non-threat indicators cover threats or does each moveable non-threat have to remain on its own stand. This past weekend, we were looking at a stage, reportedly from a major sanctioned match that actually had moveable non-threats that covered different threats for each shooter. Each ended up with the same number of threats, but the threats were effectively not in the same location for each shooter. In effect, both the non-threats and the threats moved. After a huge and long discussion, we still had two separate camps on this subject. One felt the non-threats couldn't be used to make the stage shoot differently for each shooter and the other felt it was definitely allowed by the rules. Which is right?

wgj3 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Seems that the intent would be to allow for some variability, but not make the cover points change for different shooters. It would seem that you would need to keep the same amount of shoot target available for every shooter or it wouldn't be "fair". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it address the movement at the shooing positon it shoule not change reload postions from one shooter to the next. Its only a target ID challange.

Buzzdraw Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Rule 4.11.4 says NT's may be painted or marked on the targets or may be clipped or stapled to the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
