It will get you killed in the Holland tunnel. Why not ditch the slats for something that won't be so silly? Have a tarp or something like that.
IPSC in the beginning was pretty physical. The Cooper Assault Course had you going through a Cooper Tunnel, then holstering your pistol and going over a 6 foot tall wall. Sometimes they would even nail a 2x4 to the wall 2 feet up from the ground for the weaklings to get a start. Then there was the Rhodesian Wall where you had to hang off a rope with one hand while shooting around the wall. Pretty tame any more.
The guy who tripped was being a Dick and deserved any and all penalties he got. Should have been banned.
No lie there. I wouldn’t have knocked that slat down (as i explained in the other thread) with my idpa stuff, but with the daa belt and big mag carriers...it meant a fallen slat after I was done shooting and doing my unload and show clear. I’ll get it right next time, plus I think ima switch to idpa gear for most everything.
I had an old gunzine with cover showing a then IPSCer in mid air after going over a wall. He is in a semi-crouched position to cushion the landing, but the gun is level and coming up toward the next target. Shai Dorsai!
I remember the debates between the Martial Artists and the Gamesmen of the early 1980s. The Gamesmen won and such things as stock gun matches and concealment matches faded away.
