August West Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 First firearm in the stage is rifle. Shooter brings his .45 Colt rifle to the line, inadvertently loaded with .38 Special rounds. Cycles the rifle to start the stage, and a cartridge is chambered, slides down the barrel, and lands on the ground downrange of the shooting position. The question is: did a round go downrange and is the shooter, thus, committed to the stage? (yes, this happened) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 After I had picked myself up off the ground from laughing so hard, I'd use the meta-rule - "Don't be a hard A$$" (Besides, a round needs to be FIRED to actually have a bullet go down range for shooter to own stage) good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Agree with GJ. Rule states "after the first round is fired........" Off to unloading table, then back for a reshoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Rich Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Shooter did get a restart. But after every body stopped laughing I told him we should consider those three or four rounds that were cycled as rounds downrange. He took it in the manner it was intended. He's a good sport but he did take a little ribbin about that. kR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
