Those rules would never fly with Feegee and Tony.

The Nighthawk range is really sensitive to such things. They are very leary of anti-gunners coming in and seeing these horrible things that go on at shooting matches. On club match days, they keep the gate locked, if you dont get the combo before the match, you arent getting in. Ask me how I know.

How many FTDR penalties are incurred by an ass pat or heaven forbid a crotch grab?

 

[The Antichrome]

I once saw an entry form for an IDPA match that stated: No Competition Shooting Jerseys allowed...

Depends on if you grab your crotch or someone elses.

[dennishoddy]

For the record, I've never shot an IDPA match, as none are around my area, but what drives the "secrecy" of locked gates, and disclaimers of talking about a match afterward/no jerseys?

I'm trying to remain neutral on this discipline as it is what we are all here to do? Somebody help me on this.

 

[The Antichrome]

Its that defensive mindset Dennis...
