Loves2Shoot Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 If these people spent half as much time practicing as they do trying to get around a performing a task or prop as they we would all be much better off. Once a RO says you can't do something, then live with it, because they won't let anyone else do it either. Get a clue. Bickering with RO's is pathetic. This game is about shooting the COF, if you don't like it, find a new sport or leave the attitude at home. Please don't waste my time and sour my day shooting by being an ass. And about those perfect doubles.... ... they score Alpha/Bravo/Charlie/Delta MIKE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Loves2shoot It is all about FREESTYLE shooting, and questioning the RO about the CoF is part of administering the match. If it ain't in the rules If it ain't in the CoF directive If it gains a second or more points Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Tightloop, Questioning is fine, but once the RO says NO grow up and shoot or pack up and go home!!! ps. This is the HATE forum!!! I am not saying they can't. I just HATE it when people do that. RO's are volunteers and should be respected, whether they deserve it or not. "The Hate forum was created and is intended as a place to vent or rant, period. And while general or support-related comments are not prohibited, rebuttals specifically are. Meaning: If you don't agree with someone's rant - please keep it to yourself. Thanks! be" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detlef Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 tl, you could just create another hate thread, hating poor stage designs, bad stage descriptions and poor stage designers insisting on *their* way... --Detlef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hate those too But love the RO's for donating their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDH Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hate those too But love the RO's for donating their time. L2S, Wow, I am getting all teary eyed! I certainly appreciate your comments, but also see the other side of the argument. I guess I want everything to be freestyle, but if someone comes up with something that is clearly outside what the course designer had in mind, then I do like to reign them in (all equally). What I am afraid of is that we are going to have to start writing stage procedures that are 723 pages long, with all kinds of legalese built in just to get everyone to shoot the same COF. I admire creativity in solving the problem, but if I had a stage procedure that covered ALL the bases, I would probably still be in Bend reading it to my first squad in the Ltd match.....

benny hill Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 most of the new stage descriptions for uspsa are the same. start in box A & shoot everything as you see it. This lets the shooter use the course just about anyway he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 amen Benny, and as it should be. A big match or a local match can eliminate those problems by PRACTICING good stage design and walk through language. Crips, at our club we still have the occasional manditory reload in a field course . It isn't rocket science, but does take practice and it takes the load off the RO. It is much harder to design a stage that gives the shooter mulitiple choices in sovling a course of fire than to go box to box or port to port.
