Malfunction Allowances
About 4 years ago we decided to migrate a few events into the GR&P event portfolio from other similar meetings. These were more ISSF oriented events and the conditions and standards associated with these events were different.
The events were imported without modification and the special conditions associated with the appropriate courses of fire were kept intact. The main difference between the two tranches of conditions are to do with malfunction allowances. GR&P events tend to be shot ‘without alibi‘. In other words there is no allowance for malfunctions.
If something goes wrong its down to the shooter to solve the problem within the time constraints of the competition. Sometimes easy – sometimes not. Its all down to the what happens on the day – Sans alibi, C’est la vie.
The events migrated, and the ones which the current GR&P rule book allows for malfunctions, are as follows:
- Event 23: 25m Timed
- Event 25: Sport Pistol
- Event 27: Standard Pistol
- Event 43: Granet
- Event 45: Scott
- Event 47: Imperial Silhouettes
The proposal is to withdraw the Malfunction Allowance for these events so they align with all the other events within the Gallery Rifle & Pistol event set.
As always – comments and feedback welcome.
