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.

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.
