ISSF 2016 Bangkok - Did finalist have accidental discharge?

Post by dstates »

I apologize if this has already been discussed on the forums (I did sear and didn't find anything). I just watched the 25m Women's Pistol Final from the 2016 ISSF match in Bangkok. If you watch the video, check out the 5 shot series that starts at approx. 36:00 into the video. It sounded like Park had an accidental discharge at 36:17 and then you see her have one at 36:35. But at 36:35 it is like they muted the sound. No one said or did anything, but there was a lot of murmuring after that series.

What are the rules when this happens?

Yes, it looks like you are correct. I wonder if the ISSF editing team muted the second one to lessen the embarrassment?

As for the rules they are just missed shots as far as I can tell. The only thing you could consider contrary to the rules is that she fired 5 shots at the first 3 "exposures" and I think it says somewhere that you can only fire once on each.

I use to have this problem before I started popping those little blue pills!

I am sure Rover can also comment.

If you don't shoot the ground once in awhile you're not trying hard enough!
