So question. 

 

Why about air gunning at the load and make ready command?  I've seen it a few times.  Is that allowed? 

 

Obviously not walking through the stage but standing at the start point air gunning the first few targets. 

 

On a classifier last week, an experienced r.o. pointed out to me that I could face up range, and then when he said 'make ready' I could practice my turn-draw-dry fire (double action gun)-reload (except there would not be a magazine to drop).

That's fine too. I see it often. Just have to know your shooters well enough to know who will actually turn THEN draw instead of drawing facing up range

8.7.1 A competitor is permitted to take a sight picture prior to the start signal. Such sight picture is only permitted no more than one step from the “Make Ready” location.

Interesting.  A buddy i shoot with always has a mag in his hand when he's "air gunning" a stage.  

 

 

 

There is also an IDPA guy who loves to tell me stuff that I'm doing isn't allowed in IDPA.  (While we are shooting an USPSA match)
