I'm glad someone bought these. It was tempting. And then I would have had to buy a Micro 9 (I've got a Micro 380).

If I remember correctly, boats are less than 120 ft long and ships greater than 120.
A second item is that ships roll outboard when making a turn. A boat leans to the inside.
Those are from the cobwebs of my mind. Retired 30 years and counting.

If it's an annual multi-day, state or higher, I usually expect a shooters book. Doesn't have to be fancy, just show the stages.

Heat pumps are pretty much ineffective at mid to low 30s. If a/c is an alternative, I would go with that.
Just my thoughts.

Shooter's Handbook, Version 27.5, January 1, 2024
Page 13
Section 4 - Range Operations and Safety Rules
Stage Conventions
The following stage conventions (stage defaults) should be followed in all SASS matches, unless otherwise directed in the stage descriptions.
- In the event a target fails or is downed, the shooter should "shoot where it was". For safety reasons a target on the ground should never be engaged.
Have a great day,

So, with your logic - if I am shooting a plate rack, 6 knock downs, my first shot hits the frame and all the targets go down. I'm done with the plate rack and just dump the other loads? Not where I've been shooting. You shoot where the target(s) were at, then dump the extra rounds.

The first three rifle rounds knocked down the first three rifle targets.
Shooter missed with the fourth shot.
Shooter then knocked down the remaining standing rifle targets.
Chief - shooter had 10 rounds to knock down 10 targets. Per the OP he missed the 4th target, re-engaged the 4th target knocking it down, then knocked down the other standing targets. At that point he had no rounds left to "engage, shoot where it was" for the target that was knocked down by a pistol round.
The fact that all the rifle targets are down does not negate the fact that one rifle target was never engaged/shot at with the rifle.
One miss on target #4 and one miss for the target that wasn't engaged.

I'm curious. While all this magical shooting was going on, where was the TO and spotters?
The TO should have a clue as to which target was being aimed at.
The shooter seemed to be going down the line of rifle targets, what did the spotters see?
I'll revise my original count to 2 misses. 1 miss on target #4 and a miss for not shooting where the downed target was.
Sure wish PWB would chime in.

1 miss and a P.
A miss because all 10 rifle targets were not engaged. The target that was down is shoot where it was.
A P because one of the rifle targets was re-engaged.

And when was that, Barry my old son? I was there from 1974 to 1978, supply chief for the Marine Barracks. Is it possible we crossed paths?
I was on the USS Kinkaid (DD-965) during that period. I don't know if any of our ship's personnel left the ship or not (paperwork??).
For the most part we would pull in, onload, and pull out.
My oldest brother was stationed at Camp Pendleton, as a Navy nurse. Before that he was in-country with the Marines as a Corpsman.
Time flies when you're having fun.

My ship would go to Seal Beach (California) for weapons onload prior to a 6 month deployment. Everything would be going along smooth and then there'd be a BUNCH of Marines show up. I always knew when the "specials" were being loaded.

My copy of the Chief's Creed came in handy one time. Our neighbor was a Navy Lieutenant and had been invited to and attended a Chiefs initiation. Afterwards she told me that she didn't understand all that went on. I got the Creed and told her to read it. Afterwards there were no more questions.
I've still got the creed hanging in our "gun room".

I loved going to the movies in town, that meant I got to stay at my grandparents house. Usually it was the Swanson fried chicken dinner. Great food for a kid.

The first time that my mom saw my tattoo all she said was "Why?"
That's what I want to ask a lot of kids when I see their "jewelry".

Perhaps the original poster will let us know if the shooter's shotgun was positioned like any of the pictures. Unless we know that, we're not going to be able to give a true answer.

My calibrated
eyeballs say that the barrel is around 45 degrees, not close to the 170.
Or, if his head is 0 and toes are 180, then about 140 degrees.
Still need to know exactly how the shooter had his SG held.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "trail" position. I know of nothing that has changed with the 170 rule.
The TO should not start the shooter in a faulted position. As such, I believe that you were correct.

I was completely locked out yesterday, but obviously it's working today.

Officers have staterooms aboard ship. Typically the Captain and the Executive Officer each have a cabin and the lower ranking officers share staterooms. Usually 2 to a compartment for senior officers and 4 or more for lower ranked officers in a compartment.
But a lot of that depends on the size of the ship and what room is available. Regardless of space the officers do not share rack space with the enlisted personnel.What Pat said is spot on with at least one exception. Me. The wardroom of the last ship I served on had about 12 officers. I was the junior officer in rank, but only the Captain had more time in service. Because of that the XO put me in with the Supply Officer in a 2 man stateroom. Only department heads were in 2 man staterooms. The other officers were in 3 and 4 man staterooms.
That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

First off, not trying to take anything away from Caitlin's record. But, when they compare scoring today with scoring from the 60s there is one BIG difference. The 3 point play/score.
Pistol Pete played in the mid to late 60s and set the scoring record. The 3 point play didn't come about '85 or '86, I believe. So, all of his scoring were 2 pointers.
I haven't heard any of the sportscasters mentioning this.
Should there be something in the record books to highlight the difference?
Just one of those thoughts,
BS

I've got 2 pair, both .44 magnum. One pr was 7 1/2", but I had Johnny Meadows cut them down to 5 1/2" to match the others.
They were all slicked up at Classic Single Action, Joe Perkins. They all have SBH hammers. Grips are by Joe Perkins, 1 pr walnut burl and the other is Iowa walnut that came from my FILs farm.
I started shooting .44 special and now use .44 Russian with a heaping 1 cc of APP 2F.
