Chronograph is the place where multiple things are checked. Bullet velocity is the primary duty of chrono, but other things such as magazine length and handgun weight are also checked. The chrono officer also has the opportunity to check primary safeties to ensure they are functioning properly. Let’s discuss why that is important in this Question of the Month.

Unrestored targets happen. Usually what happens is the person (let’s call him “Bob”) who has been taping the target is the on deck shooter and is doing his final walkthrough. Everyone assumes Bob is getting that target so no one else tapes it and the ROs forget to check the targets before starting Bob. As a result, Bob sees un-taped holes in the target he had previously been tending to. What should Bob do? What should the RO do? Let’s look more closely in this Question of the Month.

No matter how much preparation with no-shoot/hard cover placement and sacrificial wall edges the stage builders make, it is inevitable that someone will hit the wall edges during the match.

Let’s discuss that more while looking at the results of this Question of the Month.
