Ramblin Gambler 1,335 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 18 minutes ago, Tennessee williams said: I knew better than to get in on this. No. That doesn't make sense because: In order to stage the ammo it would need to be brought to the line. Why would they waste the ink to put "or staged safely ACCORDING TO STAGE INSTRUCTIONS. The reason it says OR is for the circumstance when a stage calls for staged ammo. It doesn't mean you get to pick. The shells were technically staged and the instructions didn't say to. So technically it illegally acquired. Im usually in the camp of "if you see it, make the call". This situation to me is why I didnt want to get in on the conversation because I wouldn't have called it. He already spent 30 minutes getting the ammo. That wording is because someone could bring the ammo to the line in their hand. I did that back when I was new and didn't have a shotgun belt. Link to post Share on other sites

In any case of recovery of a dropped or safely placed round must be performed carefully as to not create a loss of muzzle control." I say the ammo was carried to the line legally and safely placed onto a prop. Original loading area = coat pocket = legally carried to the line and legal for reuse. Coat placed on the prop = safely placed onto a prop = legal for reuse. Unless muzzle control was not maintained = no call. This portion of the rule applied only "on the clock". IMO If a shooter bring ammo to the line legally, he/she cannot stage it anywhere they choose prior to the stage beginning. Once on the clock the shooter may stage ammo anywhere they choose and then recover it safely without penalty. Link to post Share on other sites

That is not the same as gracefully trying to recover from a train wreck, when there no advantage to do so. Ooookay... Rather than get into a wonderful Wire pissing match, let me add more info to my hypothetical analogy: 1. Shooter had just returned from going potty and forgot to readjust their SG belt 2. It was cocked at a slight angle that put some of the rounds completely above the bellybutton by .2657". Better? Gotta love the Wire... Phantom Link to post Share on other sites

The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 870 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 IDK, maybe now at pg 4, he needs to weigh in on what the call actually should be. Page 3 for the SHB is addressing Ammunition belt and Loops and states that a pocket may be used to carry ammunition to the line... THEN shooter (pg 28) "safely placed onto prop from their original loading area" (the pocket) and "may be recovered and used." Simple, right? Link to post Share on other sites
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 870 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Now if the pocket was considered a "carrier" then rounds were left on the carrier. MS. And did he open the pocket and show clear? Hmmmmmm Link to post Share on other sites

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L 4,855 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Earlier (as this hit page 4), I had started writing a reply to explain which rules actually applied to the OP (FWIW, the "dropped round" section does NOT, as it was written to allow a shooter to stage ammo during the stage engagement in event that (for example) SG rounds were pulled "from their original loading area" at the wrong time (e.g. another firearm was to be shot next instead). ...then we experienced a power surge (first snowfall early this AM)...and my reply disappeared somewhere within the "innernet". I decided to bring in more firewood to keep the stove stoked. UPDATE: With only one other member of the ROC responding (so far), a consensus has not been reached. A few considerations in the meantime: As this is an extremely rare situation (as in how often is it likely to EVER reoccur?) the choices come down to either: 1) Apply the "Use of illegally acquired ammunition" penalties (which would generate howls of indignation regarding being an unfair "hard@$$" position for not allowing a liberal interpretation of the rules regarding bringing ammo to the stage...besides, everyone KNOWS that the rules don't apply at "monthly/club" matches, especially when the shooter is just there to "have fun" and probably doesn't give a rodent's tail what his time/score is in the first place. OR 2) "NO CALL" the scenario, while ignoring the fact that the ammo was NOT "safely staged as required by stage instructions"; regardless of how it was brought to the stage in the first place. If/when the rest of the ROC respond, I will post another update...by then this thread will probably have set a new record for the number of pages (even given the inevitable sidetracking & thread drift).

Hoss 1,169 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I think that given the ammo was legal when brought to line, no safety problems, and definitely no time advantage, shooter would be allowed to retrieve and use the ammo.
