[Renato2011]

Really wish I could... Ever thought about having it on the 3rd Sunday instead?

 

[zombiegirl]

What time does this start?

 

[Matt1911]

I'll be there. Trying to talk the wife into going too.

 

[dennishoddy]

6 stages of rifle, and then six stages of pistol?

 

[Jeff T.]

I'm In!
Does sign in start at 09:30 and shooting @ 10:00 ?

 

[drmitchgibson]

Why no tube fed rifles? That seems odd.

 

[dennishoddy]

Reloads on tube guns tend to slow things down if there are lots of shooters.

 

[Burk Cornelius]

Cause they dont hold 25 rounds

trying to talk mine into it as well!

It's also next to impossible to load them without sweeping yourself (hand)

 

[Wall]

6 stages of rifle, and then six stages of pistol?

no, they'll be shot in rotation just like the rest of the guns

 

[dennishoddy]

I'm still not clear. If shot in rotation, you shoot the pistol, then rifle, or all shoot pistol, and then the rifle group shoots?
If you enter both rifle and pistol, there are 12 stages combined to shoot, six for each?

Two entry fees, one for rifle and one for pistol?

 

[brandt9913]

Not sure about entry on 2nd gun match fee, but think of it like a classifier match shooting multiple guns. When they announce order, they will say "Dennis pistol" or "Dennis rifle". The RO will make sure you have some time between and let you know which gun to grab. Your squad may have 10 shooters and 15 guns.

 

[Wall]

second gun is $5.

Phil's correct. you'd have 2 score sheets in the stack with the divisions written on them.

Also, some folks choose to only shoot a rifle. It's not always a second gun for that shooter.

So the shooting order could looks something like this:
Tony - rifle/optic
Dennis - CF/Irons
Phil - Rimfire/Irons
Bob - CF/Optic
Dennis - Rifle/Optic
Tom - CF/Irons
etc.....

 

[Renato2011]

I've been to matches where the MD charges 2 entry fees and it sucks.
$5 for a second gun is fair.

Looking at the Practiscore App that I downloaded for my I-Phone and Kindle

I do not thank that you can have a shooter that is going to shoot two guns!

(I believe it will require the shooter to be entered twice in the data base causing a inflated data base)
(Check with John Bent about Double Entries like we had on 5/02/14)

 

[Burk Cornelius]

I never thought about two entries in Practicescore. Maybe we would have to change one of the names slightly (i.e. Tony Wall; Edward Wall)

PS: I am not even sure if we are using Practicescore for Steel Challenge)

From my limited playing with Practisore at home changing a name would work for a club match.

But when you submit the classifiers to USPSA Steel Challenge I believe it would cause a problem when matching first name, last name, and USPSA Number

PS In Practiscore
New Match then edit, Match Type to Steel Challenge (USPSA - Time Plus - Time Plus (Points) - IDPA - Steel Challenge)
Give the Six Stages Name and you are set up.

Another major flaw in Crapiscore? Big surprise.
