Happy Appy Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 What is the difference closing a rifle action and loading 10 or closing a 97 and loading 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 '97s and doubles compete in the same category, so the open and empty action supposedly "levels the playing field". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joke 'um Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The people with mouse-fart .32 loads in Single Sixes, steel lined speed holsters, short stroke kits and lightened springs don't want anyone to get a competitive advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I thought the difference was that one was legal and the other wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It's legal, if the stage sez you can stoke. Some clubs have it as SOP at monthly matches. Sure is fun to run a stoked '87 or '97. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I don’t think it is illegal (SASS Rules) to stoke a Win97 on the clock, even if the stage instruction stands mute on the issue. But, if the stage instruction says you may not stoke the ‘97 (on the clock), then obviously, it is not permitted. i think that is correct. i don’t like the thought of allowing either a pump or sxs to be pre-loaded (pre-stoked) at the loading table..

Hendo Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 OK, kind of a lame question, but has anybody timed a stoke 4 and shoot against the traditional double barrel boogie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules If you load the SG at the firing line like what is done in W3G. Not an issue.... If it isn't stated OK to do so in the stage writeup, or as SOP for the club. Stoke'n will get ya a 'P'.

PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Quote Shotguns are always staged open and empty and are loaded on the clock unless the stage begins with the shotgun in the shooter’s hands. SHB p.16 Quote Pump and lever action shotguns are allowed to load no more than two live rounds at a time in the main match stages unless specified in the stage description. In team events, shotguns may be loaded to their maximum magazine capacity. SHB p.27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOLFY Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 This is why I cherish the unaffiliated clubs. I moved 3 states and lucked into another one nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
