But there is nothing that requires that the MSP be marked. Also, those marks are most likely only good for one shooting position. Here is the rule. B. Pointing muzzle beyond designated “Muzzle Safe Points”.A 180° rule does NOT exist and will NOT be grounds for DQ.Doesn't say anything about marking anything. It says designate, which can be verbal or visual. It can be 180 degrees if you call it something else.There is a reason that the other sport uses the 180 rule. It is the same reason that you can't just mark the MSP. The muzzle safe point moves with the shooter in most case. I guess the rule does need to be reworded. I believe the rule was written with the idea that common sense would be applied, especially dealing with safety. As with so much of the RB, the sport has outgrown that approach b/c of numbers.This is yet another example of why the new RB couldn't be written in a couple of months.

RE: my occaisional typos... ISTTTWFT But... one could also conclude that ISHTTWFT means " I sure hope that they will fix that" It's possible that the two could become interchangeable in the future. It's important that we save electrons.

If I notice a hole 1mm away from its intended destination and follow it up with a round .20sec later, it is called exceptional tactical awareness followed by expert marksmanship. If you do it, it is round dumping. FTDR

"The best SOs in the country" is certainly debatable....a 4.4% DQ rate is not. You backpatters can blame the shooters all you want....numbers don't lie. Rulebook knowledge with a bad attitude equals a sorry SO(s) along with gotcha stages equals a miserable match for those shooters that run afoul of said SO(s). For example more than just a few shooters ran over 700 seconds on 16 stages......It's demoralizing and just not right. Our sport will suffer for it. As I've stated many times in the past......good stages at any match, especially Nationals, should be those that MM can finish while at the same time are challenging to MAs. Nationals with Gotcha stages, SOs with bad attitudes, bad food, and a 4.4% DQ rate will ruin our best show. Cody

Ken Reed-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The backpatters continue to sing.......and off key. Sounds like y'all have the agenda. Jane....General statements turned specific are seen for what they are. Either way...Blaming shooters for a 4.4% DQ rate is unacceptable. Fix stage design, get SOs w/o attitudes, take responsibility when something isn't right. Cody
