Hey, just to be clear. There is some portion of my post that is a bit cheaky. The real point is using the word “Fall” in the rule edit, words have meanings and we need to use them correctly or we could find ourselves paying a price. I simply think it is an update that has not been clearly thought thru that could lead to unintended consequences and maybe even hurt feelings. Lets avoid that if at all possible

Fall 1. move downward, typically rapidly and freely without control, from a higher to a lower level. We have defined “Dropped” gun as coming to rest other than where intended. That being the case, the above is definition of Fall. If we use the word “Fall” and follow the letter of the rule we will be in big trouble. We see more and more cases where the shooter preforms, what I call for lack of a better term, the Dynamic Discarded of the rifle, The shooter throws the rifle on the table while moving away to the next position . The Rifle therefore falls to the table , it fails to break the 170 so no call under the current rule. Will that be the case if the rule is adopted :)) Is it a possibility that the better option is to require the shooter to maintain physical control of all firearms until they come to rest. The laws of physics being what they are the rifle would stay at rest , problem solved. We don’t throw pistols at holsters and hope for the best. It seems that is what we do with rifle at times.

Just in case you didn't get the word otherwise , the roads are to poor for the set up crew to travel so no Ranger Shoot for 1/8/17. We will be back on our regular schedule in February Thanks. Cahawba Kid
