Kid Ray Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Stage has 3 pistol targets, Calls for 2 rounds on the first, 3 rounds on the second and 5 rounds on the third. Shooter pulls first pistol and fires one shot on target one and a primer backs out and jams pistol with 4 unfired rounds. He declares pistol dead and pulls second pistol goes straight to the third target and places the 5 rounds it. Continues the rest of the stage correctly, Whats The Call?

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Shooter has a choice whether to take the 4 misses for the unfired rounds in the middle of the shooting string or continue the string with the 2nd revolver; then reload the 2nd revolver to make them up at the end...same as for a squib or ejecting a rifle round mid-string.

If the target order is specified as 1,2,3, then Pls explain why shooter wouldn't get a "P" for engaging target #1, then #3 and skipping the second target entirely. Is that not engaging targets in wrong order? Never mind. My brain woke up and I see what you're saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RELOAD CHOICES http://www.oowss.com/SASS Rules Docs/Reload choices (edit Aug 2018).pdf Quote A shooter who ejects a rifle round in the middle of a shooting string has FOUR choices: 1) Re-engage same target; then reload at the end of the string for the last target = No Penalty 2) Re-engage same target w/NO reload = Miss for the ejected (unfired) round 3) Skip to next target w/NO reload = Miss 4) Skip to next target w/reload/return to re-engage skipped target = Procedural FIVE SECOND PENALTIES Rifle, revolver, and shotgun targets must be engaged with the appropriate type of firearm. A “miss” is defined as the failure to hit the appropriate target type using the appropriate type firearm. … • Each missed target. • Each unfired round. • Each target hit with an incorrect firearm, either intentionally or by mistake. • Each target hit with “illegally acquired” ammunition. To help understand this concept, a “MISS FLOW CHART” is found in Appendix C. It is also good to understand “A MISS CANNOT CAUSE A PROCEDURAL.” SHB - Penalty Overview These same choices can be applied to a percussionist who experiences a "cap only" ignition in the middle of a revolver shooting string... 1) Re-engage the same target and recap the unfired chamber for the last target = NO penalty 2) Re-engage the same target and take the MISS on the last target of the shooting string instead. 3) Move on to the next target & NOT recap = MISS only for the unfired round. 4) Move on to the next target; recap & return to the skipped target = Procedural for HITTING the targets out of order (but no misses). In this case, the shooter elected to take the misses for unfired rounds on shots 2,3,4, and 5 in the pistol string that were locked in the gun and continue the string with shot 6.

NO ASSESS MISSES Score shooter with 4 misses for the 4 unfired rounds in pistol 1 WERE THE TARGETS HIT IN THE CORRECT ORDER EXCEPT FOR ANY MISSES? YES - Target 1 was hit, Rounds 2-5 were scored as misses, round 6 hit the third target and that is where it was supposed to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, P and 3 misses correct? The OP stage instructions are for a round count - no particular order. Why a shooter would holster after two rounds if there wasn't a malfunction doesn't make sense. But, the shooter could still shoot the first target twice, holster and draw second pistol and shoot the third target five times, holster the second pistol and redraw the first pistol and shoot the second target three times.

It is easy for people to get confused on this and I wanted to show the difference to them. Chief, you are wrong because the shooter didnt engage the targets in the correct order. The 3 rounds left in the revolver are SCORED as misses. This isn't a miss causing a P. It is in fact a P plus the 3 misses. Go back to that miss flow chart and see if they were engaged in the correct order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to that miss flow chart and see if they were engaged in the correct order. In your scenario, the first two shots are placed on the correct target. IF THE SHOOTER HAS A MALFUNCTION in his revolver and declares that malfunction then the shooter has two choices from this point. 1 - He can continue on with his functioning revolver starting on target #2 and reload 3 rounds at any time to complete the string without misses. If he does not reload he acquires 3 misses for the unfired rounds. 2 - He can continue on with the functioning revolver starting on target #3.

Was no stated malfunction. Don't care what he could have done, just what he did. There was no comet flying overhead during the match, and he had bacon and eggs for breakfast.
