kmca Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I seem to remember seeing that a firearm that bounces off an abandon table or out of a barrel isn't a DQ and is a procedural. I can't seem to find that ruling or I was just imagining it. Does anyone else remember it and if so, where I can find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I would go with the "...just imagining it" version. Rule 10.5.6 is pretty clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericm Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I believe that if the match rules stipulate a minimum throw distance from the shooter to the abandonment table or barrel (javelin style for long guns and shot put style for handguns), and the firearm bounces out or off of the abandonment table or barrel, miss penalties would apply..... ....but I think this only applies in the modern hexathlon (rifle, pistol, shotgun and the three separate throwing events for each) ericm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothandnail Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Can't imagine USPSA making that change, every 3 gun match I shoot . Gun with ammo, lands on the ground = DQ. Many are ANY gun on the ground = DQ There are a few, that if you drop an unloaded gun during the CoF , pick it up and move on. I have no problem with that.

The Donald Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I've been at some matches where if the gun falls out it is a stage DQ. Many others match DQ. I haven't been to a match where dropping a unload gun is a DQ, but the match director should make that clear in the match briefing. But if you are dropping unloaded firearms it is a warning to look at your holsters and slings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... apparently they are NOT making this change. The applicable rule has been renumbered to 10.5.3.2 in the July 2017 Draft rules (was 10.5.6) that have been posted for comment ...but the wording has not been changed. If you don't get the weapon in the abandonment "retention device", it's a DQ. Edited July 16, 2017 by Rookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USPSA Multigun it is a DQ, if you throw a gun on a table and it falls off, hits the ground DQ, if you spear a gun into a ditch barrel and it bounces out, DQ. In USPSA there are no Stage DQ's, only match DQ's. What you may be thinking of is if you ditch a loaded gun with the safety off, it is 3 procedurals or 30 seconds.

Dropping any gun during a COF is a DQ, you must shoot at outlaw matches, there are no Stage DQ's in USPSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP said it was USPSA. Outlaw matches you have no idea what the RM or RO's are going to do, since they don't have a fixed set of rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily true. Most outlaw matches have their own published rules that may even be older and more mature than USPSA, plus we don't have a DNROI publishing interpretations all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the regular 3 gunners I see at matches typically don't know the rules and argue over them because they never read a rule book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the original, and probably the most commonly used outlaw 3-gun rules: IMA rules . IMA rules trace their lineage directly back to the original SOF matches, and are the origin of "Time Plus, Points" scoring adopted by USPSA.
