Any left hand IPSC Shooters

you might be tall enough for the weight exclusion, but I would still lose weight if I was you.
 
Maybe there could be a catagory dependant on a weight(kg) to height(cm)ratio divided by total body circumference(cm) and then it could be applied against the total number of points available on the stage to give a stage handicap and if you get less than that point value determined, it is a procedural penalty. That way you can weed out the technically weaker shooters in each division and speed things up in getting to the goals Madness mentioned.
What about the Gingers?
 
Vegan? You mean carnivore!

The end goal is for all IPSC shooters to be right handed, right eye'd, speak engllish, be 6 feet tall & 180 lbs, have blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin, and be veegan that wears size 11 shoes, only shoots A's and never tries to game a stage.

And who feasts on red meat with the teeth of a true carnivore! :pirate:

We'll need a name for it. How about "blobstock scoring?"
Actually, it sounds a little like sectional density. How appropriate....
 
Gingers? Ah yes, forgot about that little evolutionary branch to nowhere. I happend upon a transcript from a closed door meeting just before the last GA, it appears IPSC does have plans for "those" shooters.

The next General Assembly. Also on the agenda is right handed/left eye dominant shooters. They will probably get slightly longer to conform (right/right). But you never know.
If we want our sport to advance (Olympics) we need to be genetically pure. No weird mutations allowed. With the level of testing done by the IOC we need a clean slate if we ever hope to make it in.

I'm no expert but the Olympics isn't that strict especially for left or right handed athletes.

What would happen to all of the Southpaw boxers, baseball players, basketball players, and hockey players (many of them Canadian). I'm not sure about the throwing events but I believe they have both left and right handed athletes. I believe a number of biathlon athletes are left handed as well. So I'm not sure I buy that argument.

As for doing it out of safety I think it is a backward approach especially given the amount ambidextrous improvement in firearms. There are definitely course of fire developed for right handed shooters (by right handed shooters) but that does not mean a left handed shooter cannot properly and safely run the course. It will put them at a time disadvantage but not lower the level of safety.

As well many trainers and expert have suggested that while you can train to use your other hand or eye it is still easier and generally safer to learn to use the side of your dominant eye.

If it does happen, I would suspect many left handed shooters going to IDPA and other shooting sports which would be a shame for IPSC.

To the OP...

but do not ask me what they were shooting...Hopefully you can tell that from the photos.....I did not have time to stop and ask questions...( well, a couple of them I could have.... :) :) Kidding! )
 
I used to shoot IPSC and I'm left handed but with hand guns I trained myself to shoot right handed and that's how I shot in IPSC matches. It worked really well for me and as a bonus when you shoot a weak hand stage guy's are usually impressed at how well you can shoot. ( they don't need to know your left handed) When I first started IPSC I shot 2 club level matches then 1 qualifying match and classified in C standard division. I think lefties can be better ambi as they are forced to use weak hand much more then righties are in this world.

I understand that some of you are just having fun poking at Southpaws and gingers because they are the minority. As it is meant as harmless fun I can deal with that.

But some of them take it very seriously as some of them were tormented because of their differences throughout school. One of my range buddies is a teacher and has told me of a couple of horror stories. If that were my kid I wouldn't want any of that but then again I would teach my kids to stand up for themselves.

My comments were directed to towards the statement concerning the general assembly meeting. I didn't see any fun smiley faces indicating a more joking comment. So I took upon it to have a truthful discussion.
