dapribek Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I’m from Western New York and for now the word is that the competitor was reloading during the stage, dropped his gun which went off and killed the RO. I just shot a match with the RO and his son a couple of weeks ago. Tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degnan Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Very tragic. Not sure if there is any mitigation to the dropped gun risk for an RO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuckS Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 closed temporarily while I figure something out... ETA: It's going to be tomorrow morning (I hope). More than just CZ here... Hold your thought and prayers for then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I have culled out the gun/rule/procedure posts and included them in the post in the CZ forum. There may be a better place for some of the posts, but they did not belong here. Please be respectful and just consider the lives of the people affected by this tragedy. Thanks.
