    Yeah have to watch the small things at the higher level, mag pouches and holster behind the hips, empty partially empty mags after shooting and recounting rounds in.

    A guy from our club accidentally loaded 16 rounds on a 15 shot stage and got pulled up having 1 left in the chamber, welcome to open

    Cheers for the good advice.

    I shoot my shadow as it arrived. Rig is setup correctly so hoping not to have any issues in that regard.

    My Para as I recently found out has a grip not allowed in standard.
    I will have to source another somewhere.

    Most of club members are CAS ers.
    Only a handful shoot action or ipsc.
    And only a couple have attended a big shoot.

    I will find someone in Dunners that been around and fill them with whiskey so we can learn all the tips and tricks.
    My first clay target zone/nationals was intimidating enough😆

    Can't learn anything if you don't attend.
    I will watch with interest how other squads run because I doubt we do everything as per the book (apart from safety)at our club.

    Couple of guys in Hamilton found the box surprisingly small Yet to see a functioning chrony stage at a comp in NZ...

    Yeah, my comments were from a shooters point of view. The full story for organizers can be found here :IPSC :: IPSC Match Ratings

    I'm curious how the grip isn't legal on a standard gun, not fit in the box?

    No. It fits fine. I was told by a guy at our club that runs them in .45 and .40 I assumed he knew so took him at his word.
    I will be wrapped if he is wrong.

    Looking at that Picture I would be surprised if the grip is illegal for Standard, @Beaker or @ebf may be able to confirm for you?

    Naa, i shot 10 years ago, best option is to take the pistol to Dunners and confirm with either the match director or several of the IROA guys. Dont just ask one, like folks have said before, different RO's have different views...

    I will bring it to get advice but I only entered production with my shadow.
    Will shoot the .40 at the Nats if I can.

    Something to consider is that it could affect your PNZ grade. Typically the first comp you shoot, they downgrade you one level. So shoot D, then your grade becomes C+. Not sure how that would work if you change from Prod to Std. There have also been some changes to the PNZ grading system recently, so would probably pay to check their website and read up about it...

    I couldn't see anything wrong with the grips , but I very seldom shoot standard. I did ask an experienced standard shooter and another guy who is one of the senior NROI (might be IROA) in NZ, both said the same good to go with grips. In fact the experienced standard shooter used that same type for years competing. As long as they fit in the box all good. It is production class that gets finicky about non OFM parts. Pretty much the only parts that can be not made by the manufacturer or for that model are after market sights and grips (grips still have to be the same contour/profile as OFM ones...kind of vague honestly) ...err and aftermarket magazines. If they give you problems ask them to show the rule they think it violates (again carry copy of rules), IPSC is quite specific in its rules.

    Arg, just read my earlier post - example is the wrong way round (I blame dyslexia, haha).

    Shoot C in 1st comp, then you become D+. If you shoot C in 2nd comp, you will then be C.

    No they just changed the rules now you get what you shoot immediately. And the grade % has dropped. I was ungraded and went straight to b in production

    Clays you start c until you have shot 400 targets and then advance to B even if you're shooting A or AA scores in whatever dicipline. I was made to go up one at a time after every 200 targets once I had initial grading iirc.

    Thanks for checking up the rules around the grips fellas. I plan to shoot both production and standard and see how I go.
    Not worried about grades and stuff until I have done a few shoots.
    If it is anything like clays the higher your grade the harder it is to do any good.
    Plodding along has served me well in the past.😆
