PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 INCIDENTS DURING THE COURSE OF FIRE As each shooter engages a course of fire, CROs should be prepared for any or all of the following incidents to occur and be expeditious in his or her necessary corrective action. CROs must never be tentative with a safety call. If a safety command is given by the CRO, that is later determined to be errant, (e.g., if a squib call is determined to actually be clear), the shooter will automatically receive a reshoot. SQUIBS In the event a Chief Range Officer suspects a squib load has been encountered, an immediate command shall be given to the shooter to make that firearm safe and continue on with the next procedure. The CRO will allow the shooter to make the suspect firearm safe preferably on a nearby and appropriate horizontal surface (box, table, straw bale, ground, etc.), or if necessary, assist the shooter by allowing them to "hand off" the firearm. Multiple squibs by a shooter will be cause for the Timer Operator to request the shooter change ammo. FIREARM MALFUNCTIONS In the event a shooter declares a malfunction, the shooter will be given the opportunity to make that firearm safe and continue on with the next procedure. The CRO will allow the shooter to make the malfunctioning firearm safe, preferably on a nearby and appropriate horizontal surface (box, table, straw bale, ground, etc.), or if necessary, assist the shooter by allowing them to "hand off" the firearm. Multiple malfunctions by a shooter will be cause for the Timer Operator to request the shooter change firearms. RO2 p.8 Emphasis added. Please also note that "handing off" is a LAST RESORT...and NOT a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hi PWB, This looks pretty much the way I remember it. Is this a review, or are you showing us a rewording and asking for feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hi PWB, This looks pretty much the way I remember it. Is this a review, or are you showing us a rewording and asking for feedback? Simply a review to answer a few questions on the (now closed) "squib" thread for anyone who either hasn't taken the RO Courses or is unaware where this information may be found. The section on "Firearm Malfunctions" is new material that was recently added as of last month's edits. No feedback required. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, I decided to bring the "M" to the Wire, instead of continued futile attempts to get folks to read it themselves. Next step will be a link to a "YouTube" video with a professional reader (I have a friend in the industry) to read the entire SHB, RO1 & RO2 very slooowwly. Might have to get multiples of those produced to account for regional dialects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're too lazy/ignorant/stupid/stubborn to read the very simplest of manuals, they won't read this or listen to a video. Having shot several different sports, the SASS handbooks are BY FAR the simplest and most clear I have seen.... thank you for your work on them, friend.

Blastmaster Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Audio Books on tape/digital enhance, that you can download onto your Smart Phone, sink up to your car radio, so you can listen to SASS manuals as you drive to the match. Be sure to have various reading rates (words per minute) so you don't bore some and speed read past others. LOL For the folks that need visual aide. Ya know, thosse that score keep but still need to see the timer type, then ya need a beautiful woman/handsome man to read the manual as viewer watches.

Straight Arrow Hombre Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I just read the other thread and I'm wondering what's so difficult to comprehend? If a round hasn't gone down range, the shooter can restart for what ever flipping reason they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you trying to make it so simple, that's just not the "wire way"😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
