WHATS THE CALL

[Purly]

Shooter is shooting delish category.  Shooter draws right pistol, as he pulls the trigger on the 5th round he pulls the left pistol. The 5th shot does not fire. He cocks the right pistol and attempts to fire the 5th round.  Any penalty ?

Rule regarding this issue from Shooters Handbook, page #6, Shooting Style Categories, Duelist Style, Duelist Rules: "At no time shall the competitor have two loaded revolvers in hand at once."

Penalty from Pocket RO Card, page 41, for Shooting out of Category, 1st Offense = Procedural. Reference, page #22 SHB, Penalties Overview, 10 Second Penalties, Procedural (P) infractions include: "First offense in the same match for "shooting out of category"."

Good call Keystone

I do like reading these WHAT'S THE CALL posts and seeing the correct answer.  Pull both revolvers while shooting duelist?  Been there.  Done that.  If there is a tee-shirt, I never got one. 

Now a comment about the "delish" category.  "Shooter is shooting delish category."  If this has anything to do with cake or pie or fried chicken, Count me in !

Hay Pearly, you kneed to take a momento jester in cast automible correct jumps into a pest butt misses it up. Ain't tachometer grape!

There was a recent clarification where if you draw the 2nd pistol before the first is empty you can correct the situation with no penalty providing you holster one before either is cocked. Once you cock either you have earned the progressive "P" Keystone was talking about.

That's correct, the penalty occurs when you cock either pistol.
