Thread: Scary DQ compilation video

Yep at CHCH pistol club Tyro shooters are not allowed to run, must walk between targets, not allowed to shoot while moving. Tyro shooters are only allowed to move sideways and forwards on the range, cannot shoot a course of fire moving back up the range. Although this last bit is relatively recent, I think.

When did moving away from the targets become in vogue for Courses of fire?
(I Refer to Stugs comment regarding up range / down range )
That must be a nightmare, tripping over objects and backing in to range officers ?
From the video I see that multi gun shoots include multiple weapons within a course of fire, is that followed here? God I hope not.

Just one of the challenges involved in IPSC, look where you are going and you shouldn't have any issue with tripping on things or running into the RO.

With regards to Multi gun, yes we have that here, a new rule set has just been released along with training courses for ROs. I don't see why having 2 or 3 firearms on the range is an issue, it's not like they will jump up and cause trouble on their own.

Lastly, I don't know about you, but I take firearms to the range, not Weapons as you put it.

There should be no objects to trip over when moving backwards, other than the shooters own two feet and if you have a competent range officer (rather than just a timer holder) then they will know to keep the hell out of the way of the shooters.

It's the range officer's responsibility to keep out of the way. Not the shooter to look out for the range officer.

Well just going from the video, i see guys throwing loaded firearms onto tables and there they spin and face the spectators, shouldnt the object be to remain in control of the firearm.
In other events on the video I see people chucking loaded firearms into bins, I just hoped that here we would be a bit more carefull. But it sounds like you guys are ok with this?
Dont get me wrong I'm not trying to do a wind up just interested to see what has changed.
I really dont get the need to require a shooter to move backwards, unless you have limited range space and then thats down to poor course design.
As for the R/O having to "keep out of the way" I dont really think things like this would hold up in a coroners report.

Either go to a range that shoots multigun 3 gun or IPSC and see how it works for your self or go play chess or some shit. I can't be bothered trying to explain it over the internet.

The title of the thread is 'Scary DQ compilation'.

That means all the bad things they are doing in the video resulted in the shooter being disqualified (DQ'd).

It is not typical of what happens on most ranges in New Zealand, although there some scary things that do happen on occasion. To some people more often than others.

All except the guy with the shotgun at 1:09.
Certainly an unintentional discharge (AD if you prefer) But wouldn't be a DQ.
