Wyatt Hurts SASS#72737 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Ok, I am sure this has been asked and answered MANY times but the Winter has my mind less than sure. Shooter shoots the rifle as his 1st gun fires 9 rounds leaves 1 round on the carrier, lever open and goes to his second gun but does NOT touch it, RO yells "1 more" and the shooter goes back to his rifle, picks up the rifle shoots the 10th round and then proceeds to finish the stage properly. So is there a minor safety for setting the rifle down with the 10th round on the carrier or is it a no call? Wyatt Hurts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk James Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 No call. After our last thread on this the question still remained; what if the rifle had been set down with the action closed and a round in the chamber. Still a no call if the shooter came back and shot it? My understanding was that they could not come back once the loaded rifle left their hand. A TO's nightmare if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor Safety Violation (MSV) infractions Leaving empty or live round(s) in a magazine or carrier of the long gun in which it was loaded with the clarification that it could be corrected up to the point the next firearm was fired In this case no call if the rifle had been set down with the action closed and a round in the chamber they could not come back once the loaded rifle left their hand Shooters hand book pg 22 A live round left in the chamber of a long gun STAGE DISQUALIFICATION PENALTY (SDQ) penalty is assessed once the firearm leaves the shooters control pretty sure that is how PWB explained it but if I am misunderstanding someone will correct me Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Actually if you lay it down with the barrel pointed slightly down on the way to the restaging surface and the live round slides into the chamber it is a SDQ as soon as it leaves the shooters hand, it doesn't matter whether the action is closed or not.

Hands are completely off the rifle......TO says one more and looks at the carrier. He/She sees that part of the round is IN the chamber. We'll say half of the actual lead bullet. Now what is your call? Stan PS. Didn't see Randy's post......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
