Fordyce Beals Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I bought my self a SDQ by putting down (staged on table) both cocked pistols to insert my ear protection after the first two gunfighter shots and re cocking. I didn't think of anything but not shooting more shots with no ear protection. SINGLE ACTION SHOOTING SOCIETY Shooter’s Handbook Page 23 STAGE DISQUALIFICATION PENALTY (SDQ) … A cocked revolver leaving the shooters hand … Reflecting on what I should do if it ever happens again are these responses a no call? 1. Ask T.O. if I can de cock each pistol 6 times hammers down on spent chambers and stage revolvers while reinserting ear protection, pick up revolvers and continue. This will take a lot of time. 2. Place one cocked revolver down on table but before removing grip hand contact revolver with other hand that has a revolver in hand, reinsert ear protection, grab revolver with free hand remove hand contacting staged revolver and continue. this will take a lot less time. 3. Stop shooting and take time with 22 misses. I was amazed at how loud revolvers are with no ear protection. Fordyce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Don't cock them when you realize you don't have your ear plugs is about all you can do. #2 won't work because it is leaving your hand even though you are switching hands. #3 would work but better to bite the bullet and shoot the guns that are cocked and then put ear plugs in.

J.S. Sooner, SASS #73526 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Shoot one more round, safely place that revolver with hammer down on spent round on table. While keeping other cocked revolver under control, use free hand to push earplugs in further, then continue stage. BTW you earned a MDQ, each revolver would be a SDQ, 2 SDQ's are MDQ.

How is it annoying to remind posse members to be sure to have eyes (safety glasses on) and ears ( ear plugs in) on the first stage of the day? It works and helps as a reminder. Yelling out doesn't mean to yell at one's top volume but loud enough for all to hear. Really!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLG Having served my own share of multiple combat tours, you may not hear the shots at the moment, but it sure takes awhile for the ringing to die down after it’s over.

Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I'll get fried for this but,,, at a local match as the TO I would tell you to start over if I see that issue,,, or if a shooter told me,, I'd tell them to decock , make safe and if they had the ammo reload and restart,, unfortunately that isn't an option,,, but I'd still do it locally.. blaze away, I don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I continually ponder why, when I was young, I shot thousands of rounds of trap, probably that many more rounds with target pistols, hunting guns, and some big caliber rifles like. 416 Rigby or .375 H&H mag. I never wore any ear protection, in fact, I never even thought about it until about 20 years ago. I never experienced displeasure. But now, without my ears in, the report of even a small caliber revolver or shotgun seems numbing and unbearable. Is that a natural feature of the aging process, or is ammunition much, much louder now. (I'm asking seriously). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local match, what's the harm in ignoring the rules just a little, we're here to have fun, right. State match and as TO I failed to notice the Shooter came to the line with no shotgun shells. When the Shooter tried to load their shotgun, looked down at their empty loops, by local match habit I handed them the shells I was carrying. Bad on me.

I have done it and just finished the stage. You could have laid them down (or holstered them) with the hammers on a spent cartridge addressed the ear plugs and then picked them up and continued on.
