Registered Practice?

[emvicne]

In light of the fact that non CPSA members can shoot at CPSA registered competitions on day passes, should CPSA registered shooters be permitted to shoot true practice (ie not birds only) at such events?

I'm not really sure what you mean, if it's registered then its a comp not a practice, be it birds only or otherwise!

I am but a mere butcher!! What's true practice ?

I had to read it a few times les, but I think he means elect to shoot but not have your score submitted therefore only practice.

 

[Hawkeye]

But wouldn't that be non registered practice Ian ?

 

[emvicne]

I'm a 'she'.  Sorry for the confusion - I was simply using the term "true practice" to distinguish between birds only (which some people infer is practice in all but name) and practice (ie not registered).

Oh I see,I think!!!!! But why would anyone bother?

yes bryan it would, but I think thats what she means, shoot the reg birds as practice only.

not sure les but I wish some of my recent scores were only deemed practice

Same here mate.

 

[Macc Ladd]

Why would you want to do that anyway??

I think you should be allowed to drop a registered score if you feel it was BELOW your normal standard... Ie. you've just had a bad day.

But all my days are bad days mate!

absolutely agree after all its the opposite to sandbagging and does not put you in a ravourable position as far as finances are concerned. Its just self assesed 10% rule

So is the opposite of sandbagging antibagging Ian?

I occasionally thought about asking for a practice card, instead of a comp card, when I was suffering with my vision issues last summer. (I never did). I don't see why you should not be allowed to. Totally different matter from deciding to bin your card AFTER you have shot. And of course you must not be allowed to buy a real card for a second go round!

I think this is possibly not catered for in rules anywhere? But I suspect most ground owners would not object if you asked. They can just give you an un numbered card with 'Joe Bloggs' written on it. No harm IMO.

can't you just not hand your scorecard in?

WHAT? So you could choose to dump any of your scores? Madness. How can you grade somebody on their average if you don't count all their scores? The CPSA system drops the below 10% ones anyway. Perfect already.

Against the rules. The CPSA will in theory write to you and warn you if you do this. As with my other post, you can't choose which scores to hand in or it makes a mockery.
