 IPSC 2007- 2008

May 10th 2008:	IPSC Final Match + Awards reception

Trophies: Avrege of best 3 matches, Need to shoot 5 Matches to qualify

The following request was made by the RO's regarding the CTVSP matches:

Munitions chemisées pour les matchs intérieurs :
Bien que les systèmes de ventilation des salles de tir intérieures soient en tous points conformes aux exigences de sécurité, lors de matchs regroupant de nombreux tireurs, les contraintes de temps nous imposent de passer à l'avant de la ligne de tir rapidement afin d'effectuer le pointage et l'obturation des cibles.
Afin de minimiser les risques pour les officiels qui se retrouvent dans ces situations de façon répétitive, il a été convenu de sensibiliser les tireurs afin de les inciter à adopter volontairement l'utilisation de munitions chemisées lors de matchs intérieurs.
Il est important de noter que l'utilisation de munitions de ce genre est à l'avantage du tireur puisque la fumée produite par les munitions de plomb obscurcit parfois les cibles et rend la prise de mires plus difficile.
Ceci n'empêche en rien l'utilisation des munitions de plomb pour les entraînements individuels ou de groupe, puisque les tireurs n'ont pas à se déplacer vers l'avant et ramènent plutôt les cibles vers eux.

. FMJ ammunition for indoors competitions:
Although the ventilation systems in our indoor ranges are sufficiently powerful to satisfy safety standards, during matches regrouping a large number of shooters, time constraints force us to proceed forward of the shooting line too fast in order to score and patch the targets.

In order to minimize the risks to Officials that repeatedly find themselves in that position during a competition, we have decided to start an awareness campaign in order to secure a voluntary switch to FMJ ammunition for indoor ranges.
Shooters should take note that such a switch is to their advantage since the smoke produced by lead ammunition is often a factor that hinders rapid sight acquisition.
This is by no means meant to prevent the use of lead ammunition for individual or group training, since there is no urgency to proceed forward in those situations or you can simply make the targets move towards you.
