The rule books don't cover every possible scenario that might occur on a stage. The RO2 reference covers options in case of an actual failure of a target or prop...not necessarily one that is "shooter-assisted". In event of a situation that is not listed, the most fair and reasonable application is utilized. The shooter should not benefit from his own error (shooting the wrong KD) by being allowed to quickly dump all ten rifle shots on a single target... IMO.

As in the previous "WtC?", it is not "target failure" if the SHOOTER is responsible for the unavailability of the target. Shooter should not get any time advantage for KDing the target for the 10th shot & simply continuing the dump on the stationary target.

One miss (Pistol shot on rifle target) One "P" (All rifle shots HIT rifle targets...just out of sequence)

You are.REF: RO1 p.25

Whose pickup...& WHY was it shot??

#2 - imdb indicates two as "Hobey"...also in two episodes of "The Virginian"

Same answer...that still looks like a "traditional design" bullet loop to me.

Please resend...the application standards for the rules have changed a bit in the past few years.

I would suggest comparing the specs of the .43 Spanish & the Turkish rounds to see if the longer brass could be trimmed back a few millimeters...after verifying the actual caliber with both chamber & bore castings. I've had both Spanish and Reformado chambered RBs...still have an 1879 Argentine Remington in primo condition, as well as an Egyptian carbine rechambered to .45-90.

What is your suggestion for expediting the pre-match verification process? Aside from the task of convincing the WB and general membership that doubling the number of categories is a good idea?

You're welcome! I believe that was about the fastest verification I've ever been able to get on a rule clarification! 😎

ROC RULING: NOT LEGAL

Been using this occasionally (and carrying a 1911 & a knife or 3) since learning to walk again three years ago.

Neither of those is a "...cartridge/shotshell belt loop" as allowed in the SHB...p. 11.

If a particular method of carry is not listed, it's NOT LEGAL. But I'll ask the ROC to be sure. Stand by.

Don't think so. I cleared the ammo shelf of the 11 boxes that the Albany, OR Sportsmans Whse had & was informed by the department head that they would have restock in by next Wednesday. PWB

Remind me to check my ammo supply when you stop by on the way. I have a few boxes of STSs in among the cases of AAs.

There is one for sale on Armslist for a bit under five grand.

Percussion pistols are LEGAL for sidematches, provided they comply with the regs. They are uncommon in that role, especially when the sidematch includes an "on the clock" reload (first saw that at EoT many years ago).

Might it have been Buffalo Brothers? They do custom badges, too. http://buffalobrothers.net/About-Out-Badges

I could tell you some stories! Shooter gets a DQ for something s/he did (or didn't do)...that's on him. Shooter gets a DQ because s/he didn't bother to learn the rules...that's on him. Most people will be upset with themselves under those circumstances. They usually get over it and chalk it up as a learning experience. Those who get angry and blame an RO (or anyone else) for their own error are the ones we can do without. After 25 years of doing this, I have a very short list of folks with whom I absolutely will not shoot. "Interpersonal conflicts" and loaded firearms don't mix well.

All of my 1911-A1s have arched main spring housings. The 1911's is flat.

I would imagine that a genuine ivory/bone sight blade would have done the same thing under those circumstances.

Paint colors are covered in the same section. "Rear and front sights may be "blacked" painted, or plated in the colors of the previously listed materials. ..."SHB p.5

YES
