solidsnake Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 can anyone elaborate on how this rule came to be and the rationale? i can think some rather challenging stages could be made with the combination of paper and steel targets under the pressure of a virginia count.

lynn jones Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 solidsnake, see this rule: 9.2.2.1 “Virginia Count” The total scores (minus penalties) divided by the total time. The number of rounds is fixed and time stops on the last shot. <b> Only paper targets may be used.</b> Virginia count may be used only for standard exercises, short courses and classifiers and may not be used in Level IV or higher competitions. this is the new way of scoring VC courses. this was changed so you'd not get penalized twice for making up a shot on steel. i.e. the steel is only worth 5pts, VC -10 pt for the miss, -10 pts for a extra shot. the miss would be hard to keep up with also. hope this helps. lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this justify banning steel in a CV-score course of fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Bagoly Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Having VC with steel would slow down matches. If you have a near miss on a steel target, and can't make it up, why would you not demand a calibration check? I know that us good forum members would just accept the miss....
