In ‘normal’ size, the additional bits to this drawing are not comprehensible – the additional two bits at the bottom of the drawing are hard to understand…

2. The approved optional adaption is a sliding part to the part that is in contact with the trigger, where the trigger can be checked with either the metal knife edge or the rubber knife edge (although shon as a round knife edge) on the same test weight without changing the weight of the test weight ( a typical example of finding a solution to a non-existent problem?)
3. The existing PA approved knife edge weights are more than acceptable
· The ISSF has released a set of Errata to the 2009/1st printing – these are available download as the complete 2009/2nd printing
· Most of the changes/additions do not apply to PA competitions, being set in the context of ISSF sanctioned competitions such as World Championships, World Cups, Oceania
· They will be applicable at AISL competitions such as AusCups
IN for PA competitions –
accepted at the 2010 AGM/Executive Officers Meeting
The following are now applicable at PA competitions:
·
Back in is the requirement ‘8.4.2 Specific Standards for 25 m Pistols -
The Shooter must use the same pistol in all stages and series of an event
unless it ceases to function’, subject to the break and cease’ rules
NOT applied at PA competitions – i.e. on the recommendations of the PA ISSF Director, not accepted
·
The ‘ISSF clothing
interpretation’ is not applied at PA
competitions – but note that ‘6.4.2.1
…Clothing made of camouflage material is prohibited’ was adopted
for PA competitions at the 2009 AGM/Executive meeting.
· The new “8.7 MALFUNCTIONS Only one (1) malfunction (either allowable or non allowable) is permitted except when stipulated in a specific event” means exactly what it states: at ISSF sanctioned competitions only one (claimed) malfunction (either allowable or non allowable) is allowed.
This is considered overly onerous for the average PA member and the existing (prior to 2009/2) procedure will continue to be applied at PA competitions, i.e.:
· If a shooter claims a malfunction that is determined as a non-allowable, there will be no completion/reshoot, but this will not be counted towards the shooters count of malfunctions
· For the first allowable malfunction, the shooter will be allowed a completion/reshoot, once in the stage (150secs, 20/10 secs, or 30 shots of other 25m)
Malfunctions in
a sighting series will not be counted towards the shooters count of
malfunctions
·
6.2.2.8 It is the shooter’s responsibility that any air or Co2
cylinder has been certified as safe and is still within the validity date.
All pistol compressed air cylinders, and CO2 cylinders fall outside the Australian regulations for inspection of pressure vessels (i.e. less that the minimum100 Mpa.L – this is volume x pressure) and at this time nobody seems to know how to arrange an inspection or what it would cost for an air pistol reservoir. This is one of those things that will be resolved in the fullness of time.
·
6.3.8.4 …The use of a board as a firing line is not permitted.
For PA clubs it is recommended that new construction/refurbishment of ranges incorporate this rule
·
A
boo-boo (discovered at the NSWAPA ISSF Championships) was a mistake in the W25M
Finals Guide – a mistaken cut-and-paste had ‘Attention–3–2–1–Start’ instead of
the correct ‘Attention’. The corrected v2 guide
can be downloaded from here

· There have been a number of situations where a shooter has loaded five rounds for a refire to complete a malfunction series (for the Standard Pistol and Rapid Fire Pistol events, the shooter loads and fires five shots for the refire of the series; for all other 25M malfunction refires the shooter completes the series):
o If the shooter fires too many shots, 8.6.6.1.1, and 8.6.6.1.1.1 (and 8.6.6.1.1.3 for a sighting series) apply and there is a two points penalty for each additional shot fired
o there is no requirement for the Range Officer to inform the shooter of the number of rounds to be loaded for the refire series
o If the shooter asks how many rounds to load, the Range Officer tells the shooter.
·
8.6.4.2.3.1 (loading more than five
rounds) does not
automatically apply unless the shooter has loaded more than five rounds at any
given time – e.g.:
·
8.6.4.2.3.1 only applies
if the shooter loads more than five rounds for a series – e.g.:
·
8.6.4.2.3.1 does not
apply if a shooter replaces a round – e.g.:
