Did I miss that info somewhere???????Brian Brian I believe it's going to be the Horner method, IDPA scoring with IMG penalties ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I talked to Robbie last night. He said they were going to use the Horner method. There are a whole bunch of threads on here about just what that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD Williamson Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I understand thats it the Horner scoring (just what the sport needs another scoring method) but what I wanted to know is what rules are we following. The reason I ask determines what mag tube is installed on my shotgun. USPSA only allows 9rds or something like that where as IMGA is what ever it holds. This is of course only applies to the dark side of the sport which is open class!! Any way after all this being said Craig emailed me and said that they are following IMGA rules Thanks All Brian BYW DC are you going to the match??

bgary Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 USPSA only allows 9rds or something like that where as IMGA is what ever it holds. Just a note - USPSA rules don't limit the length or capacity of the tube, only how many you put in it. -- Open = 10+1 -- Limited = 8+1 The tube can be any length you want...

jobob Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Some questions on the rules: Safety rules say rifles and shotguns will be cased or carried slung, muzzle up and action open between stages. I carry (as I did last year at this match) my long guns in a cart which holds them muzzle down. Will I be dq'd for using this? Looking down the barrels of my guns while I wheel them between stages is not particularly appealing to me, and my cart doesn't allow muzzle up carry, anyway. I don't use a sling to carry my guns around, either. Slings get in the way, and can be a safety problem, on most stages. Neither do I normally case them between stages (though I may use gun socks if it's dusty). I have enough to carry without cased or slung guns. If competitors are going to be held strictly to these rules, maybe the rules need to be re-examined to allow different (safe) modes of firearm transport. If they won't be strictly enforced, why have them? Why can't it just be required that actions are either open, or have a chamber flag inserted? I just don't see the safety need to require cases and/or slings. I noticed that there is no minimum power factor listed, except under heavy metal rules. Can I assume 9mm - 125 for pistol and .223 - 150 for rifle in open-tactical iron-tactical scope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I believe that means muzzle up "while slung" only.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobob Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hmm, ok. Well, whatever the rules are, I'll abide by them. One rule is mandatory, though: Rule 1.0.0.0.0 HAVE FUN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 6.6.7 Tactical Shotguns may only hold 9 rounds max. Is this 9 rounds max at anytime or just before the buzzer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobob Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 6.6.7 Tactical Shotguns may only hold 9 rounds max. Is this 9 rounds max at anytime or just before the buzzer? I think it's at any time. In fact, I think it could be interpreted to say that the shotgun may not be capable of holding more than 9 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.E. Kelley Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I read through the rules.....did I miss the max capacity for Heavy Metal Pistol's??? Single stacks and revolvers are encouraged but no mention of round limits. Anyone? Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Pat, a true "gamer" would carry a copy of the rules and a fully loaded high cap .45. Trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Actually a true gamer would use a high cap 9mm in "Heavy Metal" The pistol only has to meet Tactical Class rules. Minimum caliber is 9mm x 19mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimum caliber is 9mm x 19mm. That is what I am worried about. I am fairly sure this is not what Robert had in mind and I hope they will clarify soon. Otherwise I may have to shoot the "limpwristed" version of HM with a G34. Hello 3 gun gal...... Bushhawk.......someone....... Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
