edyan Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I agree...you have to shoot all the other stages really well...at my age I'm excited to be close to getting that M in PCCO (84.11) just have to really go for it on those seven other ones.

zzt Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Getting settled down after moving is the key to OL. I only get to 'practice' at matches, because only one club shoots it. I finally started reducing my stage times when I didn't try to move as quickly as possible. It is much better to be a tad slower and arrive composed and ready to shoot.

FF112173 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I wonder why clubs don’t shoot that stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert3405 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I enjoyed shooting it. I'm definitely going to set it up on my own to practice. I'm not in this to get on shooting gallery tv it's just a lot of fun to compete against myself. That's what I love about SCSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpierrat Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Well it looks like they pretty well screwed the elderly and handicaped…. 4 sec penalty for OL made it into the rule book foe 2019 so much for progressive thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzt Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I don't know about that. I'm a B in Open and standing in the center box and taking 12 seconds penalty would improve my time a tad. 9 seconds of penalty would result in times faster than Class A. I'm surprised they didn't drop it, but I'm happy with 4. It will keep people from gaining the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpierrat Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Please take no offense ZZT... but if you can not break the 2nd shot... move and break the 3rd shot in less than 3 Seconds ….then you have work to do on this stage …. most shooters in a CF class would be hard pressed to shoot the stage from the center box in less than 3.5 and add 9 seconds of penalty you end up with 19.5 for your time This "might" help a D,C, and a mid to low level B but if they are gaming it … they will never improve over a mid B until they learn to move. Even though I gain on most of my competitors on this stage and should want it to remain a movement stage I would rather see it with no movement and end once and for all this discussion ….. 4 seconds was adopted to stop anyone from gaming the stage BUT it is a real punitive penalty for someone who can not move at all.... It is a shame in a shooting sport where a mobility handicaped shooter can fairly and evenly compete...…. till we get to this stage.... then we punish them because we are worried that someone will game the system.

zzt Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I take no offense x. I'll never break 3 seconds, because I'm 71, slow, and have a left foot and ankle that don't work as intended. They have been broken too many times. Even so, I'll never take the penalty no matter how long it takes me to move. As far as I'm concerned, if you can walk from stage to stage, you can walk between boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edyan Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 A most definite extra handicap for the older and handicapped shooter...especially if you are an A class shooter getting close to M (PCCO:84.56)...I'm 72 soon to be 73 and use a cane, I can walk short distances without it ... I really don't want to try to beat 4 sec and possibly fall down in the process...kind of a turn off for me. edyan / A646 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackJones Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Email your area director and let him know your thoughts on the change. I emailed all 8 in advance of the vote and plead my case for 4 being too high but I guess I wasn’t convincing enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
