Nutmeg Ryder, SASS # 74966

Mansfield started at 10 AM today, Was about freezing, felt warmer around noon, got cold again at 3... If we started at noon, we would still be there shooting under lights. Shorter days call for shorter/quicker stages

As a TO, If my spotters call a P that I did not see for whatever reason, I have them explain what exactly they observed. Then make the call or not based on that input, a fair number of times it ends up a no call as it was a spotter with confusion as to a sweep, or round count. (most often happens on the first few shooters in a new stage as getting the new sequence into some folks brains take longer ) Then if time allows I use the possible call as a teaching tool, why is it or is it not a P. Like a shooter clearly aiming at the wrong target, but missing etc. As for a "foot fault" the clubs I shoot with regularly have changed the wording of positions from "behind" etc to AT which we define in the walk thru as able to reach the position to retrieve or put down a gun without moving, or "when targets are visible" you may engage. There are enough things to watch down range and on the upper part of a shooter, then add watching for a foot in the wrong place. Hard enough to watch a possibly closed action with a live round and feet, why add more?

Well the grass was kinda high at that shoot off, was fun though!
