Another Virginia Count question?

August 3, 2023 by Matt Waite

While the July Question of the Month was actually based on a Fixed Time stage it is important to remember that when it comes to scoring the stage, a Fixed Time stage can be thought of as a Virginia Count stage with a time limit.  Extra shot and extra hit penalties apply to both VC and FT stages, as would stacking penalties.  A couple of differences between VC and FT stages is that in a FT stage, overtime shots are penalized, missed shots are not penalized, and failure to shoot at penalties are not applicable.

DNF or 30 seconds?

July 6, 2023 by Jodi Humann

For this Question of the Month we looked at a situation that might arise during a SCSA match. On the second string of a stage at a SCSA match, a competitor’s gun breaks and the string is scored as shot. The competitor asks to complete the remaining strings after repairing the gun. The gun ends up not being fixable and the competitor does not have a back-up gun and cannot complete the match. How are the remaining strings scored?

Squibs and strings

June 1, 2023 by Jodi Humann

Gun problems during a course of fire are not fun. Squibs, jams, broken parts and other ammo issues will cause any competitor to stress. This Question of the Month specifically talks about a situation with a confirmed squib, but also applies to any situation where the competitor’s firearm or ammunition has become unsafe and leads to the RO stopping the competitor.

PCC problem?

May 4, 2023 by Jodi Humann

PCC competitors have slightly different gun handling rules compared to the handgun divisions where firearms are holstered. If a handgun competitor has a false start after moving downrange, they simply reload if needed and re-holster and return to the start position. But what if it is a PCC competitor? Do they have to unload? Do they have to stay facing downrange? Let’s see what everyone thought for this Question of the Month.

Elimination of total shooting positions

April 6, 2023 by Jodi Humann

The March 2023 USPSA Competition Rule set saw quite a few changes in relation to stage design. One of those being the maximum number of positions for short and medium courses. The March Question of the Month was a simple question to see who had kept up with the changes on Medium Course design.

Proper pasting

March 2, 2023 by Jodi Humann

There are three colors of tape or pasters that need to be in stage buckets to ensure proper target restoration: brown, black, and white. And yes, it is important to restore targets with the proper color and to maintain hardcover lines. Why? To make the job of scoring targets easier for the range officers. Let’s look at a hardcover hit for the February Question of the Month.

Surely you can’t be serious?

February 2, 2023 by Jodi Humann

If you can complete the movie quote, bonus points to you. But I chose that as the title because I suspect many of you will be saying that after reading the answer for this Question of the Month that deals with Virginia Count scoring.
