It only applies to Rifles from the LT to the staged position. Moving with a closed, cocked rifle during the course of fire or from the stage to the ULT will also still be a SDQ.

I forgot to cock the hammer at all... I effectively slam fired it.

By rule, there is no 'approved' way. Speaking as someone who has unexpectedly sent a round down range after levering in a round but neglecting to put the rifle on half-cock...I prefer to not do it that way...

He has one free step before the BB traveling rule kicks in...

MSV...Empty or live round in magazine or carrier of the long gun in which it was loaded after the next firearm is fired, or if last firearm, put down on the unloading table.

I tell you what... folks can't really complain about standing in line at the loading table.

MSV was earned when they shot the first round out of the pistol/rifle for the rounds loaded/left in the SG. Condition what was correctable up till that point. I'm standing in line at Walt Disney world and will let you quote the references.

There is also a world champion page that has profiles of many of SASS's world champions. This one has not been updated with 2018 and 2019 results, however. https://www.sassnet.com/EoT/champions.php

I know that SASS has always had really great themes for EOT each year. @Youngblood @Youngblood #60304 mentioned what could be a great theme, Shoulders of GIANTS. Dedicate that theme to some of the greats of the sport who have gone on.

And, here is what was recently sent to the TgGs VOTING ITEM INFORMATIONProposed rule change:Eliminate the automatic Stage DQ penalty for leaving the loading table with a cocked rifle.In such instances, the shooter will be directed to point the rifle safely into the back berm, bring the hammer to full cock if it is in the half-cock/safety position, then pull the trigger.If no round is fired, the shooter will be directed to finish staging firearms in order to start the stage (No Call).If a round fires when the shooter pulls the trigger, the shooter will be assessed a Stage DQ and directed to proceed to the unloading table Current rules/penalties:Movement is not allowed with a loaded round under the hammer of any firearm.

Most clubs that I should around with have carts available at the range for new people or those that are traveling without their cart, usually by motorcycle!

Buck, I saw it on the internets so it's got to be true!
