New rules

Longtooth

<div class="IPBDescription">Procedual or miss</div>What's the call.<br />
<br />
Pistol targets in front of the rifle targets. Shooter starts the stage. Rifle first ten rounds two sweeps. In shooting the rifle targets he accidently hits a pistol target. Is it a miss or a procedual or both?<br />
<br />
I stated at the time that it is only a miss and not a procedual. Was voted down and the shooter was given a miss and a procedual. <br />
<br />
My argument at the time was that the new rules state that a miss cannot cause a procedual. Am i right or wrong. Help!!!! <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':crazy:' /> <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':crazy:' />

I would tend to favor your view. A miss is not wupose to cause a P. Hiwever, there is a rule that says shooting the wring type of target for the weapon used is a P.<br />
<br />
This brings into play common sense, did the shooter miss hugh, low, right or left and thus hit the wrong type of targey? Ub an instant like this, you have to be there to really see what has happened.<br />
<br />
In most cases I'd rely on "The benifit of the Doubt goes to the shooter."

Can't have double jeapordy, according to the rule book. They hit a target, there fore not a miss, but it was the wrong target for that gun, so it is just a P.

I would tend to concur with "Dice"; you can't have a double jeopardy; no misses, a "P" for hitting the wrong target.

I also concur with Dice.

I must belabor this some more. If you will go to the flow chart on the Sass website it shows a different message than what I'm hearing from my constituents. <br />
<br />
I also went on the forum and noticed a similar situation using a rifle and a shotgun and the consenus was a miss but no procedual. <br />
<br />
I must say that the shooters handbook is lacking in information except when generalizations are needed. Oh well!!!! let's hear some feed-back. This is driving me <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':crazy:' /> <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':crazy:' />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
According to the flow chart that we are to use until it is revised:<br />
<br />
Flow Chart: Did the shooter hit all the correct type of targets? Yes or No.<br />
<br />
Answer: NO<br />
<br />
Flow Chart: Assess Miss(es)<br />
<br />
Flow Chart: Were the targets engaged in a correct order except for the miss (misses)? Yes or No. <br />
<br />
Answer: No<br />
<br />
Flow Chart: Assess Procedure<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Flow chart then tells us that this inadvertant shot cost the shooter 15 seconds.<br />
<br />
<br />
We don't have to agree with it, but that is the way it should be done to comply with the flow chart.

Howdy,<br />
Guess I need a refresher on ROing!!!!!!!! I would give a "Miss" for NOT hitting the rifle target

I still say, and this depends on the target placement, that maybe the shooter is a really bad shot and he shot at the proper target but missed it so badly that he hit the wrong target. He was still addressing the proper targets; he is being penalized for not being skillful enough. A lot still has to be addressed on this. If someone did it on purpose for an advantage, give him all the penalties possible; if it is just an error or lack of skill, that person might not be coming back. Again, just my own 2 cents. And yes, I know, flow chart, flow chart (I'm not getting on Wrangler Rich's case here) but, I always thought/felt that the benefit of a doubt goes to the shooter. Let's stir the pot somemore. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diablo.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':diablo:' />

Some of these little scenarios will have you up all night pulling your hair out. There always seems to be a valid argument for both interpretations. There are many places in the SASS manuals that conflict with each other and we have to use a common sense approach. I always look to give the shooter the benefit of the doubt and not pile up a bunch of penalties. This is supposed to be - at least at the local level - a fun game.<br />
<br />
Perhaps if I had been there and saw what happened, I might feel different but with the limited information given I probably would not have gone more than a P or maybe a miss but not both.

Miss only. He missed his intended target, the hit on the wrong type of target was the result of nothing more than target placement.<br />
<br />
I disagree with the above application of the flow chart, no offense Rich, but the targets were "engaged" in the correct order, they simply were not "hit" in the correct order.

Longtooth

I think the answer to the question is that the targets were hit in the correct order except for the miss and that being the case the shooter should have been given a miss and not a procedual. <br />
<br />
These are the kind of topics that make us more proficient when asked to make an opinion. Great feedback. I have more but that will come later. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diablo.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':diablo:' />

<br />
Now that we have that solved, <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/diablo.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':diablo:' /> <br />
<br />
I would give him a miss and move on. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> Why you ask?<br />
<br />
Because I was standing behind him at the shot and saw him pull the shot. He was aiming at the correct target but the heavy trigger pull caused him to pull and hit the wrong target. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good:' /> <br />

This issue was fought very hard at the 2003 TG Summit, no double jeapordy.<br />
<br />
The one thing I wish SASS would correct reflects on Denny's statement that some things in the RO courses conflict with each other. This is one of those issues. Depends on where you look, rule book, RO course or flow chart. One says a miss, one says a P, neither one says both.<br />
<br />
Rich sounds like he was there and was the timer/RO, and the call was made. It's like the old saying, "You just had to be there!" <br />
<br />
Move on.

Yes, being there and watching it makes all the difference in the world!

As I stated earlier I was at Beloit when situation happen. I fought for only a miss but was shut down. Oh well!!! On to the next case. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bomb.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='=@' /> <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bomb.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='=@' />

I wasn't at the timer in the incident referred to by Longtooth, But I have had similar. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

I like this kind of feedback such as you do I'm sure. Keeps us on our toes. In fact I still like to go to the RO1 and 2 courses. You keep refreshed. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good:' /> <br />
