JohnWesleyHardin Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 We have a young gun at our match this weekend. How is he supposed to handle a reload. Our thought is that he can start with 11 rounds in the rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_of_Hearts Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 There are no special rules for youngsters when it come to reloads. Much depends on the type/model gun they are using. If you are referencing a 22LR then a reload would usually be accomplished through the ejection port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeb Stuart #65654 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I think that young gun shooters are old enough that they can be taught very easily to do a reload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I would teach the reload. It will serve them well in a very short time. However, my daughter was allowed to load the 11th round at the load table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Yeah, cuz it's fun to watch them load a round thru the magazine tube... Come on They start with 11 in the rifle. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teach them early how to properly handle the guns according to the stage instructions, including reloads and such. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make a general statement that reloading thru the port on a 22 is simple, implies that you have extensive experience in the issue at hand... Please, do tell.

Come on They start with 11 in the rifle. Phantom When I saw young guns in the post my reply was for center fires. Around here most young guns I have ever shot with used center fires, only buckaroos use .22. So I'll amend my answer, allow 11 for .22 shooters, require a reload for center fire shooters.

Please explain your initial comment "who would think they need to load through the tube"? Phantom... The brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
