You only get a reshoot if you are stopped for a suspected safety problem that turns out to not be valid (i.e. suspected squib, but the barrel is clear). If your gun is doubling/tripling and you get stopped, the stage is scored as shot. Yup that's the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBurgess Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 yep Just like that. Unfortunately if He got moved to open (I'm reasonably sure he didn't) I cant see how the move could be argued, an Arb committee has to cite a rule to overturn the call and I cant find one. Just like if a shooter only used a 142mm Mag for part of a stage and they didn't use all the bullets in the mag so no advantage was gained, doesn't matter.

I'm not sure I could say that with a straight face. Saw this happen at an Area match and shooter was moved to Open. Carry Optic shooter Went down for prone and mag pouches moved forward of hip, when they got up and holstered, the CRO notified them of equipment violation.

I had my mag or pouch hit a table and move (out of compliance for SS) I engaged a popper, reset my belt THEN moved to the next position. I did received a procedural because I engaged a popper but maybe I should have been bumped to Open. Edited September 27, 2019 by a matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickBlasta Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 If I shoot with a dot folded, am I good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal and smart are obviously not the same. It blows my mind that people that are so worried about having backup sights would not just worry about having a dot that works and would rather have one that is in no way going to work as well but could be folded out of the way when it fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to start a movement for a rules change that fixes all the issues. you and your gear must be in division compliance at the start signal. Just like you have to be in the correct position so does your gear, after the start signal solve the stage however you want. Yes I mean if you want to pick up mags and put them in you pockets (thats actually pretty real world like the gear we want CO, PR, SS shooters to use), holster, socks, wherever, great it doesn't hurt anything or the sport in any way. beyond that, if you want to move your production mags to the front, on the clock go for it, want to add rounds to a mag, cool. lets face it if your shooting production and at the start signal you load 17 more rounds in a mag and move the pouch to the front and snap on your tungsten mag well then start shooting your loosing the match.

I think this is a very interesting idea and has some intuitive appeal to me. It does raise a few questions: If we make this like start position issues, and it turns out 8 stages in to a 10 stage match that a competitor has been started all day in wrong gear conditions for their division, are they forced to reshoot all 8 stages? Can they (or the MD?) opt to bump to open instead? Also, does this cover all aspects of gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that the sort of RO's that just want to be dicks will still find a way to do so under those rules. Those guys are why we already have 1923874981723907432 different special rules.

Also, does this cover all aspects of gear? interesting thought, I would be more apt to put the division compliance on the shooter, still bump them to open if they are not in compliance at the start, but if some how they become out of compliance during the run (holster moves picked up a mag and stuck it somewhere, optic falls off) then just make what most of us already do the actual rule. If I'm the RO and a optic falls off I'm not going to bump them to open, but as it is the rules say I should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
