Hoss Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Instead of WTC!!! Split pistol stage Pistol, rifle, shotgun, pistol (from another location) Shooter pulls 1st pistol, shoots targets. holsters, pulls and cocks other pistol, but before firing TO hollers wrong gun. can't decock, cant shoot other bank of pistol targets as they are in another location. TO tells shooter to expend the round, which shooter does into the berm. Holsters pistol, moves to shotgun, rifle, then to 2nd pistol location, pulls pistol shoots targets. Only miss was the one fired into berm. Call was one miss. Could shooter have re-loaded the round at 2nd location (from ammo legally carried to the line) and erased the miss? I think so, but want to be sure! If shooter had shot the wrong pistol target instead of into the berm would that have made a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusta B. Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Nope - can't reload for a miss. Unless it's in the stage instructions. Amended below ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a firearm is shot out of sequence or from the wrong position or location, the shooter will be assessed a single procedural penalty. In this situation, if the shooter elects or is forced to miss an appropriate target due to unsafe angels or target availability, a round may be reloaded to avoid a miss penalty assessment (the dreaded “Double Jeopardy” of a procedural and a miss).

Hoss Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 so in the OP, it should have been scored as a P for shooting at wrong location and a miss as shooter did not reload? Shooter was only given the miss, no P applied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusta B. Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Sounds right. He could have eliminated the miss with a reload, but he earned the P by shooting from wrong position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manassas Jack Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 PW, Could the shooter, under the TOs direction, have lowered the hammer and re-indexed to an empty cylinder under the hammer and just taken the time with no "P" or miss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna go out on a little limb and see if my memory serves me correctly on this question. NO. Because the criteria for 'decocking' is effective BEFORE the first round is fired downrange. (Now, let me go find the rule). EDIT: ROI manual, pg 35. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO...Decocking is not allowed to avoid a penalty for cocking a firearm at the wrong time or position once the stage has begun (first round goes downrange) I'll let Widder look it up and post the reference page.

J.S. Sooner, SASS #73526 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 The P was earned but the shooter could have shot one of the pistol targets in front of them, to avoid a miss or the need to reload at P2 position. No need to shoot into the berm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 This is a little farfetched, but if a clean match was THAT important to the shooter, could he say "broken gun" and lay the cocked pistol down, then reloaded the first firearm completely when he got to the proper location?

Red Eye Jim Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Am I missing something? I think the OP didn't mention that the shooter got a P, only the miss because they fired the shot into the berm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was the T/O in that situation, and suspected that there was nothing actually "broken" I would ask the shooter what exactly was "broken" (while still on the clock)...if a bona fide malfunction could not be proven, shooter would be directed to continue with the stage...no restart/reshoot....or be assessed a SDQ for the UNBROKEN cocked revolver leaving his hands. Shooter would also be risking a MATCH DQ for "...unsportsmanlike conduct" (REF: SHB p.22) for attempting a stunt like that. That would resolve any question regarding a "clean match".

He asked if that was OK to reload for the round shot into the berm...that would have been, but the "P" for shooting from the wrong location was not assessed as it should have been.
