Cheflife15 455 Posted August 13, 2020 I was told its a 3 second penalty for no holster. Is that per round or per string? Also any tips? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted August 14, 2020 Which rules are you looking at? Speed on Steel? Centerfire "Rested Ready" = 2 second penalty on each run (string). No penalty for rimfire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No penalty for rimfire. I shot a steel challenge a couple weeks ago ( i wasnt terribly competitive). I overheard some guys talking about a penalty for not having a holster, starting in the ready with a 9mm. The goal was to shoot 5 steal targets, the stop plate being last. As far as terms go, a run (string) is 1 part of a stage? So if im understanding what you're saying, each run has 2 seconds added. So essentially 8 seconds to each stage correct?

Heavyopp 167 Posted August 14, 2020 3 seconds added per string — thats 15 seconds per stage total — this rule is the same for both monthly steel matches at OBRPC Doesn't really matter much — you are there to have fun, not win a cadillac Rimfire pistol no holster no penalty 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely like to compete against myself though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heavyopp 167 Posted August 14, 2020 What gun you shooting? I think I have a holster for a 75b — you can borrow it next time out have a spare belt too if it fits Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a holster being delivered today! Do you shoot the steel matches too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heavyopp 167 Posted August 14, 2020 I did years ago, then took some time off Once it gets cooler out I’ll be back at it steel is fun but its a long day at OB — it became too big was nice when you could be out of there at noon and still salvage the rest of the day for house stuff Forgot to ask — did you get a belt also?

I didn't get a specific competetion belt, is that necessary? I proposed tuesday so funds are a bit tight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heavyopp 167 Posted August 14, 2020 Congratulations— why does proposing make funds tight — she should say yes even with an aluminum foil ring A gun belt makes a big difference — stiffer, supports the gun and makes draw easier what size waist are you?

Heavyopp 167 Posted August 14, 2020 A carry belt and a copetition belt are ususally different — most use the inner/outer belt for comp — these are really stiff - not for everyday use I use wilderness systems for an everyday belt I use double alpha comp belts — the inner outer belts are pretty much the same I do have a 38” double alpha spare belt here — you are welcome to try it out — 38” belt should be just about right for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
