I'm not sure what you mean by that Kent. An inner 10 in the faster stages is worth the same as one in the slow stages.

When I shoot the rapid fire stage I tend to shoot good OR bad.
Those who are better shoot 9 or 10.
I may have as many inner 10 but my bad shot make my series in rapid fire inferior to my slow fire. The rapid fire specialist does not usually shoot good slow fire. I had 290 in slow fire and ended up with 565 in a match this year. Hope you follow me now?

Yes I see what you are saying Kent.

The way I look at it, one extra point in the rapid stage and it doesn't matter how many inner tens you've got ;-)

Exactly, but I like to think of me beeing a bit ahead from the slow fire :-)Now slow fire and rapid fire is more equal when in a tie situation.

I would like to thank the ISSF for being proactive on a minor rule "change". I emailed the ISSF about some problems that I had been having over several years with the grip picture for 25m and 10m, and some factory grips that I was seeing that seemed to violate the rules. They responded to my email within 24 hours - factory grips must meet the rules - if they don't they must be modified. Just because the gun was "bought like that from the factory" does not necessarily mean that it meets the rules. The changes to the grip picture that has been placed in the rules should be somewhat helpful in resolving my problem.

That's somewhat confusing Paul. The grip picture hasn't changed since 01/01/2006 (2005 Rules, Second Printing).

Also, whilst that drawing solved the problem with regard to curves in the longitudinal direction, it created more confusion with regard to angles measured from the "Axis of grip" (changed in the 2009 rules from the previous "Griffachse"). Even ISSF "A" Judges don't agree on where that axis is.
