VOTING ITEMS



ITEM #1. Remove the SDQ penalty for initially staging a long gun with the hammer cocked/action closed with no live round in the chamber.

(verification for rifles- same as for movement from the LT...for shotguns, simply open the action to verify.)



ITEM #2. Add shotguns to the current exception for changing location from the loading table to the stage:

Changing location with a long gun with the action closed and the hammer cocked (exception for rifle long guns from the loading table to the stage with no round chambered).



ITEM #3. Remove the subjective verbiage regarding "blocks" from the lever wrap allowance:

Levers may be wrapped or padded with leather or faux leather. or other natural material.

- Filler "blocks" or other such mechanisms designed to prevent all or drastically limit movement of

the fingers within the lever loop are not allowed.

("leather" includes suede..."faux leather" would include anything that looks like leather.)

Anyone have a set they would sell ?

Hope you had a great Birthday.
I kept waiting on an invite to the party.

If I show up Saturday wearing a short sleeve shirt will I get run off ?

Enjoyed the after match get together.  Thanks Double  Barrel  for  doing the grilling.

Going to be a nice day. Come shoot with us. 

It's going to be cool weather so the stages are going to be quick and fun. Come on out and enjoy the day with us. Shooting starts around 10.

A bog thank you to Sudden Sam , Slim Squirrel, and Tennessee Missey. They are always at setup. 

Looks like I am doing setup Saturday for our 2nd Saturday match. Any help Friday around 9 am would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you can help. If it's just me we will be doing setup Saturday morning.

OPEN LETTER TO ALL FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSEES 

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recently examined devices commonly known as "forced reset triggers" (FRTs) and has determined that some of them are "firearms" and "machineguns" as defined in the National Firearms Act (NFA), and "machineguns" as defined in the Gun Control Act (GCA). 

These particular FRTs are being marketed as replacement triggers for AR-type firearms. Unlike traditional triggers and binary triggers (sometimes referred to generally as "FRTs"), the subject FRTs do not require shooters to pull and then subsequently release the trigger to fire a second shot. Instead, these FRTs utilize the firing cycle to eliminate the need for the shooter to release the trigger before a second shot is fired. By contrast, some after-market triggers have similar 

components but also incorporate a disconnector or similar feature to ensure that the trigger must be released before a second shot may be fired and may not be machineguns. 


Both the NFA and GCA regulate machineguns. "Machinegun" is defined under 26 U.S.C. 

§ 5845(b) and 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(23) as— 

Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, 

automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. The term shall also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person. (Emphasis added.) 


ATF's examination found that some FRT devices allow a firearm to automatically expel more than one shot with a single, continuous pull of the trigger. For this reason, ATF has concluded that FRTs that function in this way are a combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and hence, ATF has classified these devices as a "machinegun" as defined by the NFA and GCA. 


Accordingly, ATF's position is that any FRT that allows a firearm to automatically expel more than one shot with a single, continuous pull of the trigger is a "machinegun", and is accordingly subject to the GCA prohibitions regarding the possession, transfer, and transport of machineguns 

 

 

 

OPEN LETTER TO ALL FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSEES (cont.) 

under 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(o) and 922(a)(4). They are also subject to registration, transfer, taxation, and possession restrictions under the NFA. See 26 U.S.C. §§ 5841, 5861; 27 CFR 479.101. 

Under 26 U.S.C. § 5871, any person who violates or fails to comply with the provisions of the NFA may be fined up to $10,000 per violation and is subject to imprisonment for a term of up to ten years. Further, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 5872, any machinegun possessed or transferred in violation of the NFA is subject to seizure and forfeiture. Under 18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(2), any 

person who violates § 922(o) may be sent to prison for up to 10 years and fined up to $250,000 per person or $500,000 per organization. 


Based on ATF's determination that the FRTs that function as described above are 

"machineguns" under the NFA and GCA, ATF intends to take appropriate remedial action with respect to sellers and possessors of these devices. Current possessors of these devices are encouraged to contact ATF for further guidance on how they may divest possession. If you are uncertain whether the device you possess is a machinegun as defined by the GCA and NFA, please contact your local ATF Field Office.
