I was thinking about worlds and I have never pair fired before. If you have a malfunction on the line do you get zeros until you get the problem fixed or do you get to make up the missed shots?
Pair firing for worlds?
- Thread starter Medium rare
- Start date
Maybe you get a chance to fix it.
Check out the ICFRA rules here: http://www.icfra.com/page5.htm
By my reading F8.3 & F8.4 are the ones to look at.

Don't forget to bring a mallet or pointed stick to motivate the shooter with whom, you will be paired.
From what I have heard the 45 sec rule will be enforced

A cattle prod would do the job
Last time I pair fired, my partner was waiting for a certain condition to return. He is a great guy and I did not call it on him, but there should be a way to politely say something. After several minutes I totally forgot the condition I was shooting in. E-targets would totally solve that problem. Last shot fired xx seconds ago right on the screen, but you would still have to say something. Causing a situation is not good for either of the shooters concentration. What to do? Shot counts as a miss, if you do not shoot in 45 seconds? That would seem harsh.

Disclaimer: I have only pair fired one match (3 days)
It was explained to me during that match (and confirmed recently from a World-class shooter) that the 45-sec starts once previous shooter agrees to the score. Thus good communication between shooter and scorer (and potentially on-deck shooter if 3 to a mound is used or nonfiring scorer) will be very important - including a clear verbal acknowledgement of acceptance of the score.
Pair firing was extremely fun. Drew
It's even more fun when you and your partner speak different languages and neither understands the other one

Hadn't really thought of that, but great point.
Hi Conor, good to see your still around. Question: Won't fingers work?

Yeah, I had that in 2013. I'm fluent in French, English, pretty good in Spanish and so-so in German and I understand Italian (certainly enough to count.)
My partner was a monolingual Ukranian.
