Let's talk rifle last & Power factors ----------------
Smokestack SASS#87384 replied to C.C. Moonshine's topic in SASS Wire
Rifle last has a likely hood to add inconsistency to scoring. It’s all good until a buckaroo steps to the line and shoots a .22 through a window. -
Spotters don’t call “P”s, TOs do. The spotters are generally expected to inform the TO if they witness one but ultimately the TO decides what the call is.

Let's talk about sights
Smokestack SASS#87384 replied to Wyatt Hurts SASS#72737's topic in SASS Wire
I prefer a small to medium brass bead and the semi-buckhorn rear sight. For me the semi-buckhorn is faster/better than a flat top and yes, I’ve spent quite a few trigger pulls behind each. It really comes down to personal preference. Try a bunch of stuff and see what works best for you. As for the big front beads covering that target on longer shots, if you set them up for a 6 o’clock hold, you won’t have that issue. Again, do what works for you. -
No, you must use load data for the powder you are using.

There are still a few clubs which have refused to evolve with the game. They are struggling to survive due to lack of shooters interested in what they offer. I am not saying your opinion is wrong, but you are certainly in the minority.

Similar but not exactly the same WTC
Smokestack SASS#87384 replied to Null N. Void's topic in SASS Wire
Well I can only find "shoot where it was" and "engage an alternate target" in one place in the rule book and they are literally in the same sentence. I would assume that they are either both an option or neither an option. -
I like that. Think I'll borrow it. Thanks.

Smokestack SASS#87384 replied to Null N. Void's topic in SASS Wire
So shoot where it was would not be an option in this case either? The 10th pistol shot was a miss and caused a P all at once? Not trying to be a PITA, I just don't understand this line of thinking. If shoot where it was IS still an option in this scenario, can you please direct me to the section of the rule. Oils that covers this besides the target failure section? Thanks. -
That would be a Rattler John sweep.

If when the shooter completed the 9 rifle targets he shot where the knockdown was it would only be a miss for the 10th pistol shot correct? Instead of shooting where it was, a shooter has the option of shooting an alternate target. I would not give them the P based on that thinking. ROII pg. 8 -
I just sent him a message for you.

A P would only be given for shooting the correct type of target in the wrong order. When you are shooting pistols, the rifle and shotgun targets are treated the same as the berm for scoring purposes.
-
If you look in the rule book, the part that talks about shooting where it was is under the heading target failure.
-
Bet ya can't show us that in the rules...
-
Keep in mind that the bullets must not be seated below the case mouth.
-
The OP asked if it would be a prop failure. I used target failure to distinguish what happened from a. Prop failure which would allow for a reshoot. Target failures don't. ROII page 8

When he got to the end of the rifle string, the target he was supposed to shoot was no longer standing, hence my use of the words target failure. It did not fail on its own but it failed to be standing when he was supposed to shoot at it. I don't believe that how it came to not be standing comes into play.
-
1 miss. And a target failure.
-
It's fun. 4 targets order is 1,2,2,3,3,2,2,3,3,4

Not to take anything away from the MEC, but my Redding single stage is also an iron frame machine.

That works about 1/2 of the time. Often more modification is nessicary.

The phantom trigger is a one piece trigger sear design. For that reason it can not allow the lever safety to work as it was designed. That is why the factory trigger is a 2 piece. The happy trigger works like a factory 2 piece but has a spring in it to remove the flop. The happy trigger will work with the lever safety.
