Shynee Graves, SASS #19,614 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Dont want to hijack someone thought process here. But what could be some good "re-shoot alibis". 1. "My shorts are too tight!" 2. "My boots were on the wrong feet!" 3. "Hey, the other guy got one!" 4. "How the he!! do you cock this thing" 5 "Does this gun belt makes my butt look big? 6. "I forgot to pull not jerk!" What could be some others? Regards S.G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 True story: during one of my shooting stages a couple years back, I heard someone behind me yell; "CEASE FIRE". I hesitated a brief moment. The TO was still standing behind me holding the timer on me and motioning me to continue. Then, I heard it again: "Cease Fire"! At that moment, I was basically thru with the stage. Then it happened again........."Cease Fire". BUT, it wasn't "Cease Fire". It was the score keeper yelling out the next shooters name to get to the Loading table whose name resembled the words......."Cease Fire". I politely ask the scorer not to yell during the time frame a shooter was on the firing line. That would be my alibi for a reshoot. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Lets see from some I have used over the years: The pack of coyotes running through the targets at the beep made it difficult to shoot the required sequences. Don't I get a reshoot because of the cease fire called in the middle of my stage because of the motorcycle riders down range? The horse I was riding collapsed while I was shooting, reshoot? The wind knocked down the stage front while I was shooting, and the window I needed to shoot through was laying on the ground. The dust devil that came through while I was shooting knocked down all the shotgun targets and the prop table, along with my shotgun-on the ground.

Noz Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The most pathetic thing I have seen was not a plea for a re-shoot but a re-start. The shooter's excuse "I didn't get a good grip on my pistol". They gave him a restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 That's what "shooter ready" means. If they don't understand that after getting it once. Too bad. From the RO I Handbook: "Restarts shall be allowed for a competitor to achieve a “clean” start, up to the point at which the first round goes down range. Multiple restarts by the same shooter, that in the judgment of the Timer Operator are seen to be taking advantage will not be entertained as they are not in the spirit of the game." By your comment if a shooter wanted one restart in a complete match you would not allow it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal A. Looyah #83098 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I asked for and got a "restart" at EOT. The timer operator thought it to be odd, but he allowed it. We say that safety is our number one priority, but sometimes we sound like penalizing the shooter is our goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 HI Folks, I remember an annual match once where I asked for IIRC two restarts for the same thing. After that my memory kicked in and I prepared better. Here's the scoop. I was shooting some hot BP loads (big mistake by bullet boy that shall never be repeated). Anyway, on the first stage, I discovered how much they kicked. As the day went on it got really hot and my hands were really sweaty. So, right after the beep (before a round went down range), I asked for a restart to wipe my sweaty hands. I think I did this on two stages before remembering ahead of time to wipe my hands before the beep. Also, I was shooting with slick marble grips. So, basically, getting a good grip was my concern. Would you really want a shooter to have to, on the clock, reholster, wipe hands, and redraw? If so, I think you're a meanie.
