Tennessee williams Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Stage has 5 rifle and 5 pistol targets. Target order is 2 five round sweeps from the same side. SG is 4 kds any order. Guns are any order, rifle not last. All shot from single location. Shooter is used to shooting double duelist but decides to shoot in the gunfighter category this match. At the beep: *Shooter fires correct sequence with the rifle, no misses puts rifle down. *Shooter draws only one pistol and shoots the correct first half of the pistol sequence, reholsters. *Shooter then picks up the shotgun and loads and closes it. Then he draws the 2nd revolver and fires the correct 2nd falf of the pistol sequence while holding the loaded shotgun. He then reholsters the last pistol and fires the shotgun engaging the targets as required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 "Next Shooter!" Or, in the vernacular, "no call." Quote o A Gunfighter may utilize any sequence that is available for use by any other shooting category. As for holding the "loaded" shotgun while they shot the 2nd pistol, was the action closed? For a Gunfighter, this has no bearing, as they are allowed to have two loaded guns in hand at the same time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GF can have 2 cocked revolvers out at same time. I believe the rule is other categories cant have 2 cocked or is it just loaded revolvers out.

Snake River Clay SASS #34984 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Me as match director, local match: no call. Major match, anywhere: major discussion. Hopefully ending in a no call. Whenever I have a novel way of shooting a stage I run it by the TO first. I love mixing things up as a Gunfighter.

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 NO CALL. Quote Let's say the shooter is a duelist with a cross-draw rig. So, if pistols are to be shot first, but the shooter loaded their shotgun first, instead of opening and shucking the shells, they can just hold it, loaded and cocked, and as long as muzzle direction is maintained, shooter can fire both revolvers, then the shotgun? No penalty. "WtC?" - April 2018 YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO...the penalties for LEAVING rounds (live or empty) in a long gun apply AFTER the long gun has been FIRED during the stage engagement. That was clarified in the referenced previous thread.

Griff Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Hmmm... that's not what the rules state... Quote - Long guns will be emptied and discarded with their barrels pointed safely downrange. This condition may be corrected on the clock, prior to the next round being fired. If the long gun is not discarded empty prior to the next firearm being fired, only the shooter may return to open and/or clear the firearm at the end of the stage under the observation of the CRO/TO. Should an empty casing/hull be ejected or found in the action or chamber, or a live round on the carrier of an open action, a Minor Safety Violation (MSV) will be assessed. If the action is opened and a live/unfired round is ejected, a Stage DQ (SDQ) will be assessed for a long gun with a “live round under a cocked hammer having left the shooter’s hands”. (There is no opportunity to correct this condition before firing the next firearm, as the penalty takes effect upon leaving the shooter’s hands). If the shotgun hasn't left the shooter's hands, how does the penalty take effect, when the rules specifically states it takes effect upon leaving the shooter's hands.

As, there is no opportunity to correct the condition of the discarded firearm, as a subsequent firearm has been fired and the shooter's stage is over. But the first sentence implies that two conditions are necessary, the action will be cleared and discarded... It makes no sense to have no penalty for holding a shotgun that's loaded and cocked, and then imposing a penalty for holding an open shotgun with an empty or two in it. Yep, in my world, if the firearm isn't both cleared and discarded, it doesn't meet the criteria for a penalty under that rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That statement has been clarified in the 2019 version. All other conditions in that section may be corrected before firing the next firearm of the stage. A long gun must still be CLEARED at the end of the shooting string, even if it is not "discarded" (e.g. remains held "in hand"). Quote However, if the action is opened and a live/unfired round is ejected, a Stage DQ (SDQ) will be assessed for a long gun with a “live round under a cocked hammer having left the shooter’s hands”. In this case, there is no opportunity to correct this condition before firing the next firearm, as the penalty takes effect upon leaving the shooter’s hands. 2019 Version 23.2 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk James Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Let me see if I understand this: !)You still cannot move with a loaded shotgun 2) you can load the shotgun and shoot the revolver(s) as long you have not previously shot the shotgun 3) you can move with an open loaded shotgun 4) you can move with empty hulls and correct the situation as long as the next firearm has not be shot or you correct it before you sit it down at the unloading table if it is the last firearm engaged.
