HI5-O Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Just about a 7 minute video of the British open team. I guess in IPSC you can’t run outside of the fault lines to the next position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Which is a much better way to do things, honestly. Makes it easy to create much more interesting stage designs without assembling a dozen barrels or as many yards of wall section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perttime Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 The IPSC rule about stepping outside fault lines says: 2.2.1.5 If a COF has a passageway visibly delineated by fault lines and/or a clearly demarcated shooting area, any competitor who takes a shortcut by stepping on the ground outside the passageway and/or shooting area will incur one procedural penalty for each shot fired after beginning the shortcut. There's also: 1.1.5.1 Level I and Level II matches are not required to comply strictly with the freestyle requirements or round count limitations (see Section 1.2). ... So, I've been in a Level II, where there were pretty long sprints between 3 shooting areas, and the pathways (where you were not allowed to shoot) were not delineated by fault lines.

I have seen ipsc stages where the shooter had to zigzag or run in some oddball fashion for no reason other than somebody wanted them to, it had nothing to do with shooting the stage. Kind of like when someone will post on these forums about wanting a shooter to run 30 yards before they ever get to their gun.

Just a different way to design a stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) @perttime Yeah but it takes ropes and such, you can't just say don't do it Edited September 15, 2019 by RJH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perttime Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Yep. USPSA forces you to use more elaborate props if the designer wants you to stay out of specific areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnoyesiv Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I am torn, I like the idea that you must stay in the fault lines, but also see that like stated above it could cause designs to become a do this because i said so and add no value to the stage.

Tanders Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Did anybody hear something about Stoeger's gun breaking at this match? I saw a comment somewhere on social media that Ben was having issues with the chamber on his gun, but that sort of issue usually results in one or more dumpster fire stages, not being consistently beaten by ~10% (unless it was inducing sporadic malfunctions). Besides, I would imagine he has a backup if that was the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
