When and where is the biathlon award ceremony be held?

Do you have the possibility of renting three units of weapons, such as Glock? We start in the third series of 10.30, of course, on 27 June. The organizer says that there is no possibility that he gave the weapon. i DON'T KNOW WAY?))

Article with coverage of the United States Police & Fire Championships in San Diego, California - the sister Games to the WPFG. Centers around the Biathlon. Plenty of great pictures.

First time doing this event. Is anything that hits within the white area a bonus and anything outside the white area a deduction?

Good Morning, Can someone share how pistols are staged during the running portions? The rules mention "WPFG shooting events require the use of practical handguns and holsters..." Does this event utilize drawing from a holster? From the rules, I was assuming that guns are staged unloaded at a shooting location, to be loaded and fired when a runner arrives, but not necessarily drawn from a holster? Thanks!!

Robert,
How is a mixed age group team scored? Is it both scores added together but have to be in the lower of the two age groups for the team score?

Hi anyone in the 50-54 age group want to be part of a team?

With the various types of triggers on the striker fired guns with trigger safety levers, we have had problems with the trigger weighing differently depending on where the weight is placed on the trigger. Leverage can affect the pull weight by 1/2 lb or more (placing near the bottom end can read up to a full pound lighter). Usually the person tasked with the weigh-in has been good about siding with the shooter and re-positioning the weight 2 or 3 times to get the gun to pass. Just asking if the...With the various types of triggers on the striker fired guns with trigger safety levers, we have had problems with the trigger weighing differently depending on where the weight is placed on the trigger.

I have a rules question. As stated, the event is a "no alibi" match. There is also a time penalty for not firing 12 rounds in each shooting phase. If a competitor attempts to fire 12 rounds, but suffers a misfire, can he load an additional round during that shooting phase in order to fire the 12 rounds required?

I am in Le Marais, Paris on vacation until April 9, 2015. I would like to get in touch with Yves Dujardin with the France National Police and see if we can team up in the Mixed Biathlon. How do I reach him, get his contact info? My email is sulanpeebles@hotmail.com Thank you, SuLan Peebles (DHS/Immigration and Customs Enforcement, USA)

I have been getting a lot of questions about trigger pull weight so I am going to try and give everyone a simple answer. Your trigger must be able to lift a 3.5lbs trigger weight off a table while being cocked. If the hammer falls/striker falls you will not be able to use the pistol. Most factory pistols come with a trigger weight exceeding this requirement. If you are unsure then have a gunsmith or other qualified person check it before you come. I would hate to see someone travel here then...I have been getting a lot of questions about trigger pull weight so I am going to try and give everyone a simple answer.
