Are you talking a full length guide rail? If so, yes.

Yes. Sleeves not required, but if present can’t be short or rolled up and attached in the case of long sleeves.
it's been ruled that this is a vest and not a short sleeve shirt, as it has no sleeves.

Thanks for the Heads UP, Abilene. I have sent a request to sign up for RO1 and the following day for ROII if you can take them back to back!
Yep, you can take them back to back, just not on the same day.

But, ultimately it IS the fault of the shooter their gun broke or their ammo malfunctioned. The typical stage is 10-10-4. The time limit(Synonymous with maximum stage time) for that stage is 150 seconds. That's 2minutes and 30 seconds, almost a full minute under the limit of our timers. As a TO, I have a LOT more important stuff to do other than get my pocket watch out and keep track of the timer rolling over especially with a shooter working on a live firearm. That is nowhere in the RO1,2, or 3 manual.
You have one, and only one, duty as a TO. To Safely Assist the Shooter Through the Course of Fire. Anything else is gravy.

AHHHH, the ole 'make a gun jam' and take more than 3:20 to clear, erase all Misses and any 'P' acquired and get
a reshoot BECAUSE......... the shooter has to have a legitimate RECORDED time.
That is an interesting thought, TW.
I once shot with a person who always seem to have a SG problem but only after they had a miss or a 'P' in the stage.
I couldn't prove it, but I suspected the shooter carried some oversized SG hulls (non-resized brass) in his belt and
would insert them into his chambers of the SxS, close the action hard to JAM those brass bases in tight, and then
requested a reshoot because of equipment malfunction.
At the time, our club was offering reshoots for gun or ammo malfunctions.
I couldn't prove that shooter was manipulating his gun in such a manner, but it did seem that when a Miss or 'P'
occurred during the pistol or rifle run, he always seem to have a SG lockup.
Soooooooo, what do we do when there isn't a legitimate recorded time? I personally think a shooter has all the right
to achieve his/her clean match, regardless of excessive time. I love to compete....... but our game/sport isn't all about
the competition.
Just my .02

If you have a good RO, they'll keep track of how many times the timer has gone past 3:20 and be able to do the math.
Timer equipment restrictions are not the fault of the shooter.

How long has a shooter got on the line to try and fix a gun breakdown or malfunction on the line before the T.O calls enough?
Doesn't matter. Maximum time for any stage is 5 seconds per target and 30 seconds.
SHB Page 24, Scoring, 2nd paragraph.
If it takes them 300 seconds to shoot the stage, the maximum time scored is 150 seconds, on a 10-10-4+ stage.

The 93/97 is not a reproduction of the 93. It's a 97 made to look like a 93. If you compare a 93 to a 97 to a 93/97, you can see that this is true. (I have all three)
So the question remains. Does someone make a reproduction 93?No

Have been for 20+ years.
Great round

Last I checked, the S&W 627 Pro is an 8 shot double action revolver, and is not legal for SASS.

SHB 2024 Pg 13 Stage Conventions:
"Cowboy port-arms is defined as standing upright with the butt of the long gun at or below the waist of the shooter, the muzzle at or above the shoulder, and the long gun held with both hands."
What else needs explaining?

Plus you can be part of the migration that leaves Cowtown on Sunday afternoon and picks up their EOT registration packets after the match. Registration is open 11:00am - 3:00pm.
That's always a happy trail time

Great, two day, match the weekend before EOT.

Or, you could ask the Marine at the gate. Not the "rent a gate keeper" but a real, US Military representative. The SP's might let you lock it up in their shop.
Again, don't ask the civilian at the gate, ask someone in uniform.

Had a 650 Bonneville back in the '70s.
Sold it when I went in the navy.
Sure wish I still had it.
Enjoy pard.

I think this is exactly the thinking that promotes inconsistency when making calls. By taking the course we level the playing field as much as we can. Does that mean there will never be wrong calls made? No we're all human and prone to mistakes. The RO committee and PWB do a great job in clarifying the rules but we will all make an occasional wrong call in the heat of the moment.
My thinking if you can't pass a written test, you have no hope in consistently and correctly applying the rules in the heat of the moment. As Ace of Hearts points out that extends to all of the Range Officer duties including spotting and the load and unload tables. He also correctly points out it's a requirement at State and above matches. We do no favours by not following that at our monthly matches. I can't speak for other RO Instructors but I'm always only to happy to find time to run a RO1 or RO II course when asked. I bet I'm not the only instructor that feels that way.
Having said that I don't see the 2 years as a hard and fast rule. If you read the newest RO manual and talk to your TG to keep up on any rule changes and clarifications you'll be fine until you can take a course. My experience is that the best RO's are not necessarily the most experienced but they have taken the courses more than once and make it a point to ask questions and discuss the rules on and off the firing line when they are unsure.

Was in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England last September and October.
Drove from Dublin to Galway with site trips to Newgrange, and Tullamore. Toured the Tullamore DEW distillery and stayed in a B&B there. Next day on to Galway and a B&B there with a couple of side trips to see castles.
Tour train through Galway and some shopping. Drove to the little town of Cong, just north of Galway. It's where they filmed the Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Lovely place.
Had a dinner at Dunguaire Castle just south of Galway. Great time that.
Then drove to Waterford on the southeast coast. Toured the Waterford Crystal place, stayed at a B&B.
Drove back to Dublin and hit the Guiness Brewery and the Jameson Distillery. All the time we were stopping at pubs for Irish Music Sessions and local flavor. Great time.
Note - Nobody serves breakfast. No restaurants open before noonish. We're country people and get up early to see the sights, no food until lunch. Bring your own or you'll be hangry. Folks eat at home or, if your a tourist, at the B&B.
Flew to Wales and stayed at a B&B in Cardiff for two nights. Drove to LLantrasant to see where the Black Army was founded in the 1600's. This is where the English(welsh) Long Bowman came from. The ones that won at Agincourt and Cercey.
Then via train to Glasgow, rent a car and drove to Stirling and the Wallace Monument (yes, I climbed all the stairs). Drove to Inverness to see the Queen of Blings peoples castle in Cawdor. Then back down the north side of Loch Ness to see my peoples ruins (we backed the wrong king). Back to Glasgow then train back to Cardiff and the same B&B then drove to Windsor via Stonehenge. A day trip to London (too crowded for this old boy) and then home. In all 28 days.
We'll do it again but stay in Ireland for more music and fun.
We did our own planning, reservations, flights, cars, B&B's etc. Enjoyed the heck out of it.
What's the call?
