Wicker Nash Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Recently there as a long thread about shooting before the beep. That was a P, assuming no misses, etc.. What is the call if a competitor starts moving from the starting position before the beep? For example, holding an object, dropping the object, moving hands to gun(s) before the beep. Two cases: a one time thing or someone who consistently starts moving too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Stop them and give them a restart. If you cannot stop them and they get a shot off, let 'em go and give 'em the P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin Shootest Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 If done repeatedly, it would be a classic definition of "disregarding the stage instructions in order to obtain a competitive advantage" / Spirit of the Game penalty. RO3 (Common Sense) - Warn, the first time and re-start. The second time, SOG. F.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they start going before the beep just don't start the timer. Once they have finished the stage ask them if they'd like to do it again for a time?

Branchwater Jack SASS #88854 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 SHB pg 20 Quote Restarts shall be allowed for a competitor to achieve a “clean” start, before the first round goes down range. Multiple restarts by the same shooter, that in the judgment of the TO are seen to be “taking advantage,” will not be entertained as they are not in the Spirit of the Game.

Was thinking the same thing, but elected to keep my yap shut... until now. Makes for a long day if everyone gets to shoot a warmup run then shoot for time.

Although it sometimes may, the more common thing is having a slower time and increased chances of screwing up. Especially after you just embarrassed yourself the first time.

Nawlins Kid SASS #36107 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Years ago at a major match there was a shooter who would try to jump the timer's beep, he would have restarts. I took the timer when he came up to shoot and I asked him if he knew the coarse of fire for the stage. Shooter keeps hands on hat until the beep."Shooter ready stand" hands leaves his hat. Start him a second time same thing. So I informed him I will start the stage at the beep and if he starts before the beep I will add 30 seconds to his time. Amazing he was good for the rest of the match!! Nawlins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
