PaulW Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Ok ready for another one? A bug doubles it's size every second. It fills a 10 ft X 10 ft room in 60 seconds. How long does it take to fill half the room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBChaffin Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 Back to the radial hits/elongated hole question. Say you have a drop turner that ends in a position perpendicular to the firing line, so that it can't be shot unless you try and cut it in half as posted above. Ok, there is no penalty if it is not engaged since you are not left with a scoring shot after it has dropped, right? Well, during my run, I place one good hit on the drop turner and have one that is obviously elongated, about an inch long. (This was some time ago and I was a bit slower...) Both should have been scored huh? Man I got stuck with only getting the points for the good hit. At least I didn't get a penalty. Does this make sense? Sorry if I am bumbling. Taking the bar exam this week and my thoughts aren't exactly straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 The rule book says if its more than twice the diameter on a disappearing target you don't get the hit. So unless you were shooting .50 or bigger an inch hole is too long to count. Sorry dude. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBChaffin Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 Thanks Pat, I do remember that now. After reading all the posts about elongated holes above I got my apples confused with my oranges and thought it might have counted. Sorry about that. I guess I will just use my bar exam excuse. By the way, .45 yes, .50 no. If only that elongated hole was a little bit smaller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted July 25, 2001 Share Posted July 25, 2001 Biggest scoring mistake I see at matches is where they try to apply the same rule to static targets. It is only for turning/disappearing targets. Statics can be cut in half if they are presented in such a fashion. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted July 26, 2001 Share Posted July 26, 2001 Pat, Same thing for tumbling bullets, right? The "twice the diameter" rule only applies to turners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDean Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 I wonder how that RO would score a "turner" with two healty 4" gashes from D-to-A zones? It's obvious this "turner" was engaged without being "squared-up" to it...... Is he really an RO according to USPSA's definition? I'll bet not....

Shooter Grrl Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 You guys need to re-read your RED USPSA rulebooks. ALL hits on disappearing targets now count :-) If your good enough to cut the targe in half from the side, you get the A zone hit! Different rules however, for targets that appear twice!

Storm Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Yeah Shooter Grrl that new "disappearing, yet appears more than once" target rule isn't very friendly to lower class shooters. Just doesn't seem right to penalize someone because they couldn't get hits on a disappearing target. 5 points down should be enough. I still cannot understand why they added miss penalties for those situations. Luckily most disappearing targets only appear once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 How do you score an oblong "hole" in a target? Let's say there's one big grazing hit in the A zone of a target requiring two hits. I'd say Alpha-Mike. The shooter argues two alphas because the hole's widest point is larger than the bullet diamter. The shooter wants the benefit of the doubt. Now what?

Shooter Grrl Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Erik, ALWAYS give the benefit to the shooter. Call it 2 alpha's and smile and be happy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassy knoll Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I have seen potential ugly situations disappear because the RO has common sense and gives the benefit of doubt to the shooter. Good call SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Here's one I did at Area 4 a few years ago: Target is steeply angled away from where I shot it. On scoring we find one hole in the A-zone and one hit that is nothing more than an indented black smear from the middle of the D-zone off the side of the paper. The paper was not punctured in any way, but it was clearly grazed by the bullet. Score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 No hole = no score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 Actually, 1A, 1D. It's the same as a barely touching edge-hit. All it's gotta do is touch the scoring area. I just did it across the front instead of down the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 "If it takes 6 guys 3 hours and 20 minutes to dig a hole 6 feet deep - how long does it take 3 guys to dig half a hole?" 3 hours and 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
