Thread: Scary DQ compilation video

Spot the guy with brown pants part way through.

Fuck me! Scary alright.

That was a good list of what not to do

How some of them managed to not shoot themselves or someone else is beyond me.
What about the guy sorting the targets whilst the shooter was firing. Imagine what he thought when he saw a person in the shooting area.

Scary indeed but that is 100% RO error. The downside to club matches when people 'have a go' at RO'ing.

On the plus side, many of the DQ's in the video seem to be newbies in IDPA. Hence why pistol training in NZ takes a a bit more time than many people like.

What @Rushy said!


Although I got DQed not long ago for sweeping the gun across my free hand while opening a window.

Shorely that one thst theres a guy down range is partly if not mostly the ro's fult as a safe shooter you should check fireing zone but at the same time its the ro's job to keep the range safe mind you i have been on the rane twice where seize fire has been called by a shooter on the range and not the ro once when a dog got out of a car and went down range and the ro didn't see and the other where someone new steped forward of the fireing line to get something he dropped idot!!!

It's the RO's job to ensure the range is clear before calling the shooter to the line and calling the range in use. A simple process of walking back from the end of the range to the beginning every time is a good simple habit. But it's team work of all shooters to ensure safety is number 1. Biggest newbie mistake I see is people rushing forward to patch a target that wasn't patched, after the RO has called "load and make ready". Folks trying to help but not really engaging brain.

i'd say that was totally the RO's fault. that COF looked long and busy — maybe the RO got tired of schlepping up and down it to check it was clear, maybe it looked clear from the starting line, maybe "Range in use" was shouted very loudly — but it's no excuse for almost getting someone shot.

Wow!

Yeah but think how much time it saves to have someone already patching and scoring.

This is the problem I have with organised pistol shooting in NZ- asking shooters with little "experience" with pistols (as in Tyros) to operate them safely while in "speed" matches, is irresponsible, while slow firing "plinking" at targets is not encouraged.

???

We are the only country that I know of that has a holster course.

If what is taught on that course is followed, 99% of those DQ examples would never happen.

Umm, my personal experience is the exact opposite. New shooters are encouraged repeatedly by fellow shooters, and sometimes told by the RO, to shoot slow and accurate 1st. They also learn the value of being safe when they get DQ'd. Catch 22, if they don't learn how to shoot safe, how do they shoot safe.

Which club were you experiencing this ?

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.
