Moving target not moving is my fault?

[Rick S]

Last night I got 20 seconds for procedural due to firing on a target that was supposed to be advancing toward me. The person on the switch apparently took a little nap and left the target up close instead of returning it and advancing it during the stage. Is this my fault?

 

[Burk Cornelius]

No, you probably should have received a re-shoot due to range malfuntion

 

[racnsoonr]

agreed...like shooting part of a stage and then finding steel that was left down etc

That happens........

Reshoot. Whoever the R.O. was, they must've been sleeping too.

 

[mike cyrwus]

your fault was not shooting the hostage

 

[Rick S]

I guess I should have stopped and asked for a re-shoot. Oh well, elephant dung happens but 20 seconds is a big penalty.

 

[racnsoonr]

You shouldn't stop...ask for it immediately afterwards if the ro doesn't stop you during your run

 

[Rick S]

I should have stopped and asked myself WWBD? (What would Burk do)

 

[Burk Cornelius]

Actually, you want to do what Tony Wall does (WWTD). If he feels like the stage is going south, he'll run over the RO and get a re-shoot. If you are RO-ing Tony, you better be on the ball, cause for a big man he can move pretty well

 

[Rick S]

I blame it on Burk for not being at Wilshire last night to help out.

 

[poopgiggle]

was this IDPA or what?

 

[Rick S]

Practical shooting match at Wilshire Gun. IPSC time plus scoring.

 

[mikey80]

They need some target stands. All this moving targets on the trolleys doesn't work well at all.

 

[Rick S]

Agreed. Thanks for the input guys.

 

[Keepkool]

you should have shot it for score then requested a reshoot for equipment malfunction on stage.

I once chased an RO for like 20 seconds before I was able to bump into him ;D
