Providing shooters new to competitive shooting or IDPA an easy and safe transition into the sport.
Today we asked the IDPA State Coordinator for California to clarify and teach us the in and out of IDPA Rule 3.4 on Reloading. Learning the rules is not only for following, but to learn better ways how to break them...
Video examples are the only way I could follow these complicated rules. Rules like these are why I find IDPA much less fun than it could be.
@@layline09 My sentiments exactly. Thank you for your thoughts. It
Fyi , Paul and Fred , the 2025 Wisconsin IDPA Championship is open. Also its this matches 25th anniversary.
Wisconsin or bust!
They need to get rid of the 10rd limit for capacity. You should be able to load a firearm to full capacity whatever it is because if this is a real world defensive pistol standpoint most gus people are using have a capacity over 10rds
You get to practice more reloads.
It has been a long fight for standard magazines here in California and I agree.
@Nod-zt3fw Yes sir!
@@Nod-zt3fw if you look back on the early years of IDPA that was a driving factor in mag capacity limiting. To force reloads under stress and in awkward positions. Nothing like trying to make a reload from the prone shooting under a vehicle.
@ I'm not sure what point your trying to make.
Great video!! Fred rocks!!!!!!
so, tack load from the start aka before the first shot/targets engaged still good to go? still need to to stow the mag or can dump mag with rounds on the ground? predicated if moving from start position for the above? Think PCC starting with limited mags.
@@First_time_idpa-outtakes What?😳
The flowchart for these rules would look like something only the Germans could come up with.
whats the definition of stowing? can a loaded mag be stowed n a pocket, or does it have to stowed on the belt?
@@chrisgilbert2152 Great question! Yes! Pocket, belt or carrier.
Fred is incorrect. 3.4 never says "ground" the word it uses is "behind," 3.4.6 "Shooters may not perform a reload which results in a loading device with ammo being left behind. This is commonly known as a “speed reload”, and will result in a Procedural Error penalty being issued." Additionally, 3.4.6.1specifically states, "Ejected magazines with ammo do not need to be stowed if spare magazines start staged in a shooting position and the shooter does not leave that position." Nothing about ground...
Very informative! Great video!
Always appreciate your thoughts Bill!
Why do I feel that a major part of this video was directed at me. 😮
lol. Absolutely not, Fred asked me what I wanted to know, so I asked him about the most commonly seen issue, which was reloading in the open. What have you seen?
ruclips.net/video/lOIsEqO_G3I/видео.htmlsi=Jr5pky_qQoQslODj&t=11 is it legal to have muzzle pointed so high during reload? Isn't it dq?
@@solr4cc Great question. It’s not enforced in the rule book, however, I have seen it as a local rule at the Washington State match.
@@PaulGee prolly depends on range construction
I agree. But
Range rules on safety apply. Nothing In Idpa about muzzle high reloads. Now if it goes off over the berm, DQ problem
Actually no, semantics. If am at my last PoC & drop a loaded mag, I have not left it behind. So if not stowed, PE. It’s easier for novice shooters to understand mag on the ground v the vague left behind.
Quoting the rule book word for word is not semantics.
Here is the point. I love the sport of IDPA, But we all know the rule book is a big problem. What if I left a partially loaded mag behind but on a barrel/ table/ prop, is that ok now? Can you show me in the rule book where is says that my mags have to be "Stowed," bet you can't. Here is one more for you, just for fun. Show me in any of the rulebooks where it says that failing equipment check results in a DQ... I'll wait...
As I read back over this, I realize I came off as snarky. This is not my intention. I just want to do better on how the rules are interpreted, taught, and implemented. I feel this is the best thing we can do to improve and advance our sport.
I'm an M in both USPSA and IDPA. I really want to like IDPA but these convoluted rules are stupid. You know things are bad when the state coordinator and CSO can't answer each others question definitively and go back to "I've seen match directors do or say..." and then follow with their opinion they wouldn't agree or do it that way. Need to do better.
Totally agree. We’re not in charge of IDPA, we’re just trying to make it better.
