  1. I have a new Chiappa 24" octagon barrel rifle and a new Chiappa 20" saddle ring carbine in 357 caliber for sale.  These were my wife's and my backup rifles. Since her ankle fusion, she does not feel stable enough to shoot. As a result I am looking to send them to someone where they will be used and not live in the back of my safe. 

     

    I will take offers, but would like to get $1000 for each of them, plus shipping and insurance.  Your FFL will need to be willing to accept shipment from a non FFL. Both guns have less than 30 rounds through them.

  2. Was match director for years, I would let them move the targets IF they put them back as they found them. Was good for a couple years, then I came for the first day of my shoot and the targets were not anywhere near where they had been. I had to move targets and tables before conducting the safety meeting. Needless to say that was the end of anyone moving the targets or props.

     

    Consideration and respect is needed to ensure harmonious sharing of stages. Once someone does not hold up their end of the bargain, getting a new bargain going forward is very difficult to say the least.

  3. I have for sale Chiappa rifle and carbine that were backups for my wife and I. She i9s no longer able to shoot so I don't want them to just live in the back of the safe. 

     

    They are .357 caliber and have only had less than 100 rounds through them. I have the original boxes and paperwork for them. Asking $1000 each plus cost of insurance and shipping.  Feel free to make an offer.  Your FFL must be willing to accept shipment from non FFL.  Open to possible trades

    I understand, but that's just not what you said. You may have just misworded what you wanted to say. You said the peanut gallery did not have any input with safety penalties and they do. With regards to the TO being in the best position, that depends. Someone off to the side is in a better position to see the long gun go vertical than the TO who is right behind the shooters strong side. I'm not trying to argue either, I promise! This thread is getting long in the tooth.

    It seems we are basically saying the same thing. Good TO's always are aware of their shooters firearms with relation to the 170. I start saying muzzle if they get close to 160, I will put a hand behind the shooters shoulder to stop them from breaking the 170. Just how I was taught, I guess.

     

    Sorry for any confusion I caused. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

    I believe EVERYBODY is behind the line of the shooter. 

    Yes, but the TO should be right there with the shooter. As a result the TO is the one with the best perspective to see if violations occur. I don't want to argue with you, I just stated the basic fact that the TO is the ONLY person who can assign penalties. It is a very basic fact that can be found in the Shooters Handbook, and RO class materials.

    The peanut gallery does have input regarding potential safety infractions but, yes, may not actually assess penalties.  That would be up to the TO to handle.  According to the Handbook:

     

    Every participant in a SASS match is expected to be a safety officer. Each shooter’s first responsibility is for his or her own safe conduct. All shooters are expected to remain alert for actions by others that are unsafe. Any Range Officer or shooter may confront any participant about an observed, unsafe situation.

     

    and

     

    It is expected the Timer Operator will be the responsible party for resolving all safety related matters occurring in the loading, unloading, and firing line areas. However, as all shooters are considered Safety Officers, any shooter who observes a safety infraction not witnessed by the TO should call the infraction to a TO’s attention, at which time the matter will be resolved.

     

    What am I missing?  I think we're saying the same thing but figured it worth checking.

    Looks like we are saying the same thing. I was responding to those who thought any member of the peanut gallery could assign a penalty to the shooter. 

     

    The peanut gallery can politely bring observations to the attention of the TO. The TO then decides if an infraction occurred, or if the angle and/or perspective of the peanut gallery member just made it appear that an infraction occurred. 

     

    The Timer Operators that I know work very hard to be fair, follow all SASS rules while "Safely Assisting The Shooter Through The Course of Fire". They don't need or deserve to have spectators upsetting shooters by trying to assess penalties.

  7. Peanut gallery has no input on the calling of penalties on the firing line. Only the Range Officers in charge of the stage for that shooter have that ability. They are Chief Range Officer, the Timer Operator, 3 Spotters, Score Keeper, the Loading Table Officer, and the Unloading Table Officer.

     

    Peanut gallery member can quietly bring what they think was a penalty to the attention of the Timer Operator, but they cannot assign any penalties. What they saw as a penalty may have only appeared to be because of their perspective from behind the line.

  8. Will have a Chiappa 1892 20" Saddle Ring Carbine Case Colored with round Blued Barrel .357 cal. Shot maybe two dozen rounds.  $1100 or best offer.

     

                           Chiappa 1892 24" Rifle Case Colored with Octagon Blued Barrel .357 cal. less than 500 rounds fired.  $1100 or best offer.

     

    Going a different direction and don't want these two to just collect dust in the back of the safe. Will be at the yard sale Wednesday and Thursday.

     

    Thanks for looking.

  9. I think that the fact of the Wardens, who are the "boots on the ground" contact point for the DNR, did not agree with the unconstitutional rule went a long way towards getting the rule dropped. Most wardens are decent people who want to help people rather than cause trouble. Sure there are a few jerks, but here in Wisconsin they are very few and far between. The major problem with our DNR is the people appointed to run and oversee it by Gov. Evers!

     

  10. Five second penalty for hitting a rifle target with the revolver. Then a "P" for incorrectly engaging the rifle targets. Total of 15 seconds penalty time. There was no miss with the rifle, shooter engaged the dump target 10 times instead of the 9 times called for by the stage instructions.

     

    Pale Wolf beat me to the answer. He sure is quick this morning.

  11. Yellowhouse, that is what I had always thought. But she said that she does not want a shiny finnish on her rifle. So she did some research and came up with linseed oil. I am not about to argue with her. I am just elated that she wants to start shooting with me. Already got her an '87 shotgun, going to order a set of SASS Vaqueros, and had her old beat-up B92 sent out to be hard chromed. Before that I had Huckleberry do an action job on it, now it runs as smooth as oil on glass. Next I am going to find a Chiappa "87 and have Lassiter work it over, and have it hard chromed. Then the CIA '87 she has now can be her backup.
