While moving from P1 to P2 engage the 2 targets with 2 rounds each. At P2, engage the remaining 2 targets from around the barrel with 2 rounds each. Reload as necessary. From the stage description above, several of us are shooting 1911s with 8 round mags. Starting out we would have 9 rounds in our firearm. We would have expended 6 rounds at P1, and while moving to P2 would be 1 rounds short of placing 2 rounds in each target while moving. Is it legal to reload from slide lock while moving and not behind cover or would we have to do a Tac-Reload or a RWR before moving from P1 to P2? Thanks again, Loren "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket.". First time the Devil made me do it; Second time I did it on my own.

Rulebook says use cover when available. Where your scenario could become more complicated is when we see people stop in their tracks to reload and then make up their shots on the move again. Seems like a better way would be to keep moving and when you reach cover, make up your shots but this depends on the stage design. I am,,, RICK

This was implemented to stop people from dumping rounds so they can reload on their way to cover. From the rulebook on pp9: Reloads can only be initiated while behind cover. Since there is cover available on the stage, the rule book answer would be to wait until reaching cover to initiate a reload. This of course includes ejecting the spent magazine/moonclip/loose rounds or grabbing a fresh ammunition feeding device. Ted Cover Me, I'm going Slo-Mo!

You cannot reload in the open when cover is available. Take Care Bob qui desiderat pacem, praeparat bellum

Still have family up that way and get up there at least once a year. Next time we are up that way, will plan the trip so that I can come over and shoot with you guys. Moved to the southwest corner of New Mexico several years ago and retired. Winters are sure nice down this way. Take care and thanks for all the good information. We are just starting out, I have only shoot in one sanctioned shoot and want to make sure that I teach all our other shooters the correct information so that they don't go to shoots and make errors. Again thanks for the rules clarification. Loren "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket.". First time the Devil made me do it; Second time I did it on my own.

Ken Reed PS: my comment wasn't intended for anyone or any club just starting out. But this is like the third time in amonth I have heard about well established clubs still allowing reloading in the open "if" some condition is met..... +-+ E-Mail: freeidaho at yahoo dot com .......................There is a $5 fine for whining.
