Ported Barrels

[Les53]

Are ported barrels now allowed in Olympic diciplines? It's just that I was reading somewhere on the net that USA "bunker" shooters are using them! Any ideas guys? It's just that I've seen some nice guns on USA websites that don't seem to be available here, some have ported barrels and I was considering trying to import one, but god only knows how you go on about that!!!!

As far as I know it's ok provided they are standard and not modified but not 100% ?

Rules are new after each Olympics [all delegates have to go to the Olympics - geddit?] so new rulebook in the next few months download ISSF.org

Release triggers are the only absolute ban.

New finals:

Top 8 [sudden death for ties] from scratch 15 target shootoff x 2 on pegs 2,3,4 [one walking]

Top 4 after sudden deaths then 15 targets plus sudden death for bronze

Top 2 at 15 targets after sudden death shootoff for any ties re silver, gold

Sudden death if necessary

Note no carry forward scores

Anybody left on the ground by this time go to prizegiving

Bloody hell Fred, what's up with the ISSF? Why the hell can't they put something in place and leave it well alone! I just can't keep up with that lot, as for release triggers, I wonder why they are a no no?

Probably safety concerns. After all they are a bit iffy....

You should see what they've done to target shooting - everyone is revolting as a result - the cost to shooters especially disadvantaging youngsters and will be huge

Another lot who seem to live in cloud cuckoo land!

 

[40UP]

A lot of clay shooters are revolting as well.

jeez - not complicated then. ;-)

Too right - danger to referees.

release,pull,pull; release,pull,release,pull; disarm with toplever.

 

[Les53]

I have never used a release trigger so I can't comment on that. But all this rule changing is sheer rubbish, maybe I should just go back to DTL and be done with it ! :.: Or have the CPSA banned this and that in DTL these days? Even ABT is different to what it used to be twenty years ago! What's wrong with all these rule makers????? :angry:

What's wrong with these people? They're in charge that's what.

REASONS FOR CHANGING SHOOTING FINALS



All Olympic sports today must become more dynamic, attract more fans, engage the public with more drama and provide great shows for youth, spectators, television and the media.

 The current Shooting Finals began in 1986; they represented a big step forward at that time, but 26 years of experience has demonstrated that many improvements are possible.

 During the last three years, many proposals and ideas for new Finals were developed and tested by ISSF Section Committees, as well as its Technical, Athletes and Coaches Committees. The best of these ideas are now in the new Finals Rules.

 The ideas that proved to be most successful in ISSF tests as well as for other sports or that were recommended by television and media experts are starting all athletes who qualify for the Final at zero, using eliminations to add drama throughout the Final, deciding the medals with two-person duels and duels and using scoring systems that spectators can react to instantly.

 Changes made in the Rapid-Fire Pistol Finals for 2011, with finalists starting at zero, hit-miss scoring, eliminations and gold medal duels have been especially exciting and successful. The success of these ideas made them a model for the new 2013 Finals.

Simple answer- TV. They think it will be like the X factor with Duels for finals.

At moment porting can only be of certain length as measured from muzzles.

Never forget as you are eliminated on countback - the organisers always give the prize to somebody. Only the shooters care who it is.

BUT......without the shooters they have Jack sh*t Fred!! We need to revolt!!! :.:

Call me Jack sh*t Fred again and I will.

Nice one Fred !! :.: :.:

 

[Salopian]

Pardon my asking, but with the computer aided technology that we have today, would it not have been possible to devise a system where you could have eliminated competitors fairly on countback to targets missed? It is my understanding that we should all have shot the same sequence in a competition.

Does anyone know the length from the end of barrel for legal porting ? and does this aply to DTL ?
