Sansa Stark Opinion Article
My Response to the Sansa Haters (An Overview of my opinion of Sansa's Character)
Right, well, I notice a lot of people absolutely hate Sansa. Personally, I think Sansa is an excellent character, though maybe not a favourite she's definitely pretty close.
Now, if you haven't read up to A Feast for Crows, I recomend you turn back right now because there will be spoilers. Pretty big spoilers, and lots of them. Anyways, this is my opinion about Sansa and my resoponse to the haters. Why people hate Sansa As far as I can see, the key reason people hate Sansa is her girliness and shallowness at the beginning of the books (or TV Show, if you prefer). Yes, I agree Sansa needed to grow up, but (a)so do most twelve-year-olds, and (b)she did grow up - a lot. And, is there anything wrong with an occasional female character who is not a rebelious tomboy? Sansa in A Game of Thrones In A Game of Thrones, Sansa starts off as a typical teenager, if a particularly naive one. She lives in a fantasy world of her own, is in love with the idea of love and acts rather bratty at times. When she meets Joffrey, he is everything she's been dreaming of, at least on the outside. And, yes, I know she's being mean to Arya, but you have to see things from her point of view a bit. When Arya beats up Joffrey, he lashes out at her, leaving her hurt and confused. You can't exactly blame her for becoming more than a little hostile towards Arya at this point. Then, yes, she runs of to Cersei and tells her all about Eddard Stark's plan. I know, I know, most of you are rolling her eyes at her stupidity - but remember, Cersei was Joffrey's mother. Joffrey, whom up until that point had been her knight in shining armour, her hero, her dream come true - and Eddard's plan involved her leaving him. And she really didn't understand how serious the situation was - for her, the worst thing that could happen was being dragged back home brokenhearted, something she was doing everything in he power to prevent. The idea of Ned being beheaded probably never even crosses her mind. So, Sansa goes to Cersei. She starts to realize that things are looking bad for her father, but still thinks everything will be fine because Joffrey is king and she really believes in him. This would be very touching if it weren't for the fact that she was wrong to believe in him - but how was he to know that? Joffrey, in her mind, is still an idealized Prince Charming who would never do anything to hurt her or anyone she cares about. That is what she is convinced of as she goes down on her knees to plea with him for her fathers life. Then things begin to go downhill for our Sansa. Joffrey beheads Eddard and Sansa is brought down to reality in the most painful way possible. Suddenly everything in the world she lives in is turned upside-down, and she doesn't have her father there to help her deal with it anymore. Sansa is terrified, and yet, when Joffrey forces her to look at Eddards head dipped in tar she does not brake down, and somehow manages to be brave enough to deliver the "or maybe he'll bring me yours" line. All in all, Sansa has gone from an ignorant, shallow teenage girl with her head in the clouds to someone you can really begin to admire and sympathise with. Sansa in A Clash of Kings All in all, we see that Sansa has left behind some of her naivety and almost all of her brattiness. She has become much more capable and independant, and will no longer trust in anyone just because of their outward appearance. Really, in this book, what's to hate? Sansa in A Storm of Swords In A Storm of Swords, Sansa is forced to marry Tyrion Lannister, the Imp. Now, Tyrion may be one of the most sympathetic Lannisters, but that doesn't change the fact that he comes from the family that had Sansa's father executed. I know she wasn't exactly pleasant towards him, but considering her expiriences with other Lannisters in the past she's hardly to blame. Then comes Joffrey's wedding. She is pretty much forced to watch people feasting and partying just after news reached her ears about her brother Robb and mother Catelyn's murder. Then, at the feast, Joffrey is murdered and Ser Donto finnally makes good on his promise to help Sansa escape... only for it to be revealed that he was hired by Littlefinger, and the reason helping her escape took so long was because first he had need of her in a plot of his to have Joffrey poisoned. Now, I know all of you are thinking Sansa should be dancing with joy, but think about things a bit harder. Dontos, her hero, had decieved her. She had been used in a plan to assassinate someone. No matter how much of a monster Joffrey was, a twelve year old isn't going to feel comfortable about having had a hand in his death. So, Littlefinger aka Petyr Baelish brings Sansa to the Eryie. Finnally, Sansa has arrived somewhere that somewhat remsembles home... right? So, something bad has to happen immediately, because George R. R. Martin is just unable to give his characters - especially Sansa - a break. No promblem. Littlefinger forcefully kisses Sansa, and his wife Lysa Arryn trys to kill the poor girl. So Littlefinger shoves her of the cliff and Sansa has to watch her aunt tumble of a moutain. Sweet dreams. Really, Martin is absolutely intent to put Sansa through hell, isn't he? How can you not feel sorry for a charcter who has invoke so much of the author's wrath on them even though they didn't do anything to deserve it? Sansa in A Feast for Crows I don't think I'll bother with an overview of what happens to Sansa in this book, since the answer is not much. Instead, I'll just focus on her character development. In A Feast for Crows, Sansa has finnally become a lot more compent at the Game of Thrones, what with Littlefinger instructing her in it. She's become much colder and is beginning to think of herself as Alayne Stone, the new identity she has taken on. As well as that, she can now better control her emotions, and outbursts from her that have unpleasant consequences aren't likely to happen any more. Sansa has really matured a lot in this book, and is learning how to deal with the world she lives in. Congradulations, Sansa. Hopefully Martin will decide not to have her killed off. |

Nice article, but I don't think she is already over with her problems. Maybe she will become more Stark-like in the last two books or even outdone Petyr in scheming.
You should really post this somewhere where Sansa haters will see it.

Great article! I agree with what you have to say. I have to admit that I hated Sansa in the first book, but starting at the end of the book, and continuing throughout the rest of the series, Sansa has become such an amazing and complex character, and her storyline has gotten so, so awesome, that now she's one of my absolute favorite characters. Ever.
I can't wait for season two to come along, so all of the Sansa haters who haven't read the books see how incredible she gets!

I liked her well enough at the beginning of the story because I found her interesting and she really did have her family's best interests at heart, she just didn't realise how dire the situation really was... but she was a bit bratish and VERY childish. I just don't blame it on her, I blame it on her upbringing.

I agree that she has grown throughout the series and is a much more bearable narrator in the later books. Yet I continue to hate her. Probably because, while she does suffer and grow, she never admits to herself her own responsibility for her part in Ned's death. Its always "Joffrey's so mean, i wish he was dead" and never "what was I thinking? Why did I do that? It's all my fault! I miss father." I'm not saying her actions aren't understandable from her position, and I believe its completely Ned's fault for telling his plans to his teenage goddamn daughter. But she never turns the lens on herself, and I find that despicable considering her actions and their consequences.
This lack of deeper self-reflection further reinforces a recurring picture of her general shallowness that pervades her chapters throughout the series. Taken on their own, things like being a bitch to Arya, lying to protect her handsome but obviously detestable and spoiled prince, and failing to appreciate the numerous kindnesses of her very ugly but very obviously awesome husband are all forgivable and understandable. But taken all together, I can't help but hate that bitch. I've enjoyed watching her suffer, but I've also enjoyed watching her grow throughout her trials. I do believe she will come to accept her responsibility, and if she does I will be happy to start rooting for her.

This article is the biggest piece of crap! People don't hate Sansa for her "girliness". It's her lack of loyal, lack of intelligence and total selfiness. While she may not be the one who cut off Ned's head, she definetly played a major role in his death. Also it's not her "trust" for Joffrey but her desire to live this fairytale life depicted in song. The girl deserves every bit of cruelty she receives and the only thing I want more than winds of winter to finally get here is for Sansa head to put on a post.

Skimmed this article and found it concise, but sansa is ah mewling cunt who can not will not use reason. Her main concern is sansa. I'm a fan of the books and the show and I gotta say she put herself in hell and I only hope that when aria comes back from bravos she has to kill her .

^^Wow, you two need help. maybe you can experience the 'cruelty' and 'hell' you wish on a freaking fictional character. Sansa is naive and selfish- that's what makes her REALISTIC. And she survives the way she knows how to.
also, 'sansasuck', you probably didnt even read it. your post (and name) are what is crappy. And Sansa isn't a "bitch". She and Arya both fought and if anything Arya was the bitchy one, insulting the boy she knows Sansa likes, freaking beating her up and saying she hates her. Sansa tried to invite Arya into the conversation and be nice and Arya crapped on it. she didn't "kill" Ned or betray anyone either. She was as rebellious as Arya ever was, as she herself admits. You people who "enjoy" watching anyone suffer should probably suffer yourselves to see how good that feels.

Take a bow, Woodbury. You're a generous bunch.
This week in the paper we feature not one, but two stories of generosity. That comes after two previous weeks of similar coverage that we're happy to share with the community. Let's take a brief trip down memory lane and remember the acts of generosity that made news in the Woodbury Bulletin.

ABC's Brian Ross: Sikh-Killer is Right-Wing
ABC News is at it again, misidentifying a mass murder as part of the "right" in America today. And, naturally, it was Brian Ross who did the dirty deed claiming the man responsible for killing several Sikh temple goers in Wisconsin is a member of the "right-wing."
Ross appeared on ABC on the morning of August 7 to say that shooter Wade Michael Page has "links to these right-wing, neo-Nazi groups."
The left has succeeded for years linking conservatives and people on the American right to the Nazis by claiming they are all "right-wingers." But the claim is simply untrue.
It should be remembered that Hitler's Party was called the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei which in English means the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Yes, that's right, socialist.
The Nazis were only in slight shades different from the communists and the socialists that they battled. The fact is, Nazis are not "right-wingers." They are of the left.
Yet the Old Media continues to link a nationalist party built on socialism to "the right" every time the subject arises.
This isn't an outlier act by Brian Ross, either. Ross is a repeat offender, if you will.
You may recall that only hours after the July 20 shooting at a movie theater in Colorado, Brian Ross rushed to claim that the shooter in that crime might be a member of the Colorado Tea Party. An act that even ABC News chief Ben Sherwood had to admit marred their coverage of the crime.

Knowing the route can be as valuable as the goal
This morning as I sat clearingout the spam from the email box, I noticed an update from one of the LinkedIn groups I am a member of. Its title was:
"Why are you running?"
In the article the author shared their story of some thoughts they had while out on a regular run, highlighting that this was a great strategy for creating thinking time. This all come about because the individual was reflecting on the question "why do I run?". His own reflections were of health, thinking time, competition etc.
In the article he poses an interesting thought:
"Imagine showing up at the starting line to run a marathon in the city of New York without any indication of where the finish line is located. No signs, no mile markers, no volunteers to guide you. All you know is that the finish line is 26.2 miles away.
How many extra miles will you end up running to find the finish line? How many additional hours will you spent trying to make your way to the tape? Will you even find the end? Will you stay motivated enough to continue on, or will you eventually quit?"
How often do we undertake work assignments, projects and other activities and know the goal or destination, but start without appropriate guides, structures or boundaries?
As consultants many of us focus on the goal, we ensure it is SMARTer, understood and communicated, however one trend I have noticed over the past few years is the trend to ignore process and the feeling that offering "step by step" instructions or guides is seen as undermining empowerment. certainly if we dictate the steps then that is undermining empowerment and local creativity and innovation, however we at the same time throws the baby out with the proverbial bath water and so not work with the teams enough to help them develop their own route around the course.
The next time you are involved in a project think about the steps you can take to help teams develop there course and route to the desired and required organisational goal.

Dharma and karma form the very hub of the cycle of birth and death. While questions about how this phenomenon came about, or how and when the individual Self got attached to karma continue to baffle mankind, scriptures affirm that desire is the cause of birth. As long as an individual nurtures desires, he is paving the way for further births and its attendant woes, said Sri B. Sundarkumar in a lecture.
As a child of five, Dhruva desired to sit on the lap of his royal father but was prevented by his stepmother. He propitiated Vishnu and after severe penance, engaging in single-minded meditation, attained direct vision of the Lord. Pleased with the child's determination, the Lord blessed him with kingship for 36,000 years, after which he would enjoy a permanent place in the celestial region.
The Bhagavata Purana says Dhruva wonders if this kingship was a boon or a bane. He wanted to remain devoted to God at all times. But even after obtaining the vision of the Lord, which even realised souls find it difficult to obtain, he had to accept this wholly worldly attainment. The reason for this is that although the child had an innocent desire to sit on the lap of his father, by extension, this also implied a desire to sit on the throne and God granted it.
If this is the case with Dhruva, one can imagine the innumerable desires in individuals (both expressed and unexpressed), for which we have to suffer many more births to get them fulfilled. Each desire in us adds a distance and delay in our attempt to see God.
The Lord is the embodiment of dharma and His promise to mankind is that there is no one who is so fallen that he cannot be redeemed. Sin need not be thought of as leading to eternal damnation.
In the case of Ahalya, it is shown that she was proud of her beauty that had attracted Indra and she had succumbed to desire in a moment of weakness. She underwent a period of punishment and was redeemed by God's grace.
The answer to the ills of Kali Yuga is to remain devoted at all times to the Lord whose promise to protect those who seek Him frees the devotee from fear of sorrow, disease and death.

I would bloody love an episode where Eleven can't talk. It would be even harder for Ten. Except that we know he has mad miming skills.
Apparently, he doesn't. I would totally suggest an episode set in Prague and featuring Daleks, because Prague's metro looks like it was made by Daleks.
So speaking of, where do I go to watch old Doctor Who? As in Doctors 1-8? Netflix has some, but I'm not sure what those are.
Actually Daily Motion is a good place. Just look up the order of the serials in different seasons on wikipedia. I've been able to watch all of season 1 that way (well, I'm watching the last serial right now anyway). The one Guy posted is the very first ep of the first serial. A lot of people have uploaded most of the classic Who eps. And there aren't any 8th Doctor episodes, just one really awful TV movie. It's kind of so bad it's funny, though.
There are audio adventures with the 8th Doctor (With Paul McGann reprising the role in them), but you more or less have to go to the Big Finish Productions website to purchase them. Edit: The downside to Dailymotion is that anything that runs over five minutes will be interrupted with ads at that mark and every five minutes after that for however long the video runs.
Eh? I've literally never had that happen. Do I have some sort of ad-blocking thing in Chrome that stops that? Mine just play all the way through. BTW guys, the First Doctor is really bad at being an alien. He gets knocked out all the time.
It's happened to me. But maybe being on IE and not signing up for an account on the site might have something to do with it. Edit; Well, to be fair, The First Doctor's kind of new at all this "Saving the Universe" stuff when we (and Ian and Barbara) meet him.
Or regenerated. Her fate after he left her was kind of left up in the air (and they never specified whether or not she returned to Gallifrey for the Time War)
That's true, she could be on earth somewhere. Though I presume that the Doctor could have felt her then. At the very least he clearly thinks all his family is dead.
On the other hand, we're talking about the same guy who didn't even realize the old guy he was talking to was a fobwatched Master, nor feel him on Earth during the time the Master was playing "Harry Saxon" so... *shrugs*
Yeah but that's the Master in hiding. When he wanted to be found the Doctor was able to trace him to that junkyard.

Behavioral Health
03-AP-21 Effective: December 18, 2003
Personnel Complaints Policy
A. Purpose
Service in the public sector requires that a relationship of trust and confidence exist among State employees and the public. Department of Behavioral and Developmental Services employees are expected to exercise their best judgment in the performance of their duties while treating all persons with whom they interact in an honest, respectful, and civil manner. In addition to establishing standards of professional conduct for Department staff, the Department acknowledges an obligation to review performance brought into question by members of the public and to take appropriate corrective action when appropriate.
The purpose of this policy is to establish a standardized complaints reporting and tracking procedure to be utilized when members of the public wish to file a complaint concerning the conduct or job performance of a Department employee. BDS will make every effort to ensure that no adverse consequence occurs to any person filing a formal complaint or any person who provides information that portrays Department staff unfavorably. Any BDS employee who subjects a complainant or person who provides such information to such recrimination will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
Investigative policies regarding patient abuse, mistreatment, neglect or exploitation and established grievance procedures related to services delivery to consumers and/or their families remain in full force and are unaffected by this policy.
B. Policy
Pursuant to 5 MRSA §7036(28), the Department of Behavioral and Developmental services establishes this procedure to investigate complaints made by members of the public about Department employees.
C. Procedure
1. BDS supports the right of any member of the public to bring forward legitimate complaints concerning allegations of employee misconduct. To this end, a copy of the document "HOW TO FILE A PERSONNEL COMPLAINT" will be posted at all agency locations and on the BDS website. A copy of this document is incorporated into this policy as Attachment #1 and will be provided to anyone requesting this information. Complaints can be filed electronically, in person, by mail, or by telephone. Anonymous complaints will not generally be accepted.
2.

NBC reporter David Gregory uses a smart hypothetical scenario to challenge Bush on his interrogation policy; Bush ducks it and keeps to his talking points—as usual, but Gregory keeps up.
During the president's Rose Garden press conference, NBC reporter David Gregory asked Bush how he would feel if a country like Iran or North Korea kidnapped an American citizen, tortured him and then tried him without letting him see any evidence. Bush's answer was a nonsensical non sequitur. (Read it) (Salon post - ad required)

The woman at the center of the CIA leak case "was no analyst or paper-pusher;" rather, she was chief of operations on the CIA's clandestine Joint Task Force on Iraq, which was heading up the CIA's intelligence hunt for Saddam's WMD. Thus, her outing by Bush administration officials was a serious breach of national security—not to mention a career-killer. The Nation's David Corn has the scoop in his new book, "Hubris."
The practice of posting the home address of someone targeted for supposed offenses (like being a member of the ACLU), until now practiced mainly by hate groups, has been embraced by "mainstream" pundits like Michelle Malkin and David Horowitz.

He's been described as "the most powerful person you've never heard of," and "Cheney's Cheney."

The New Yorker has a must-read profile.
Dick Cheney's chief of staff, David Addington, routinely reviews legislation bound for the president's desk, searching for ways that the bills may limit presidential power. More than a quick-hit news item, this article masterly describes Bush's use of signing statements—interpretations of a law that can be used to subvert a law's intended purpose. Earlier: Addington—"The Most Powerful Person You've Never Heard Of"
It's David Addington, Dick Cheney's new chief of staff, who has been instrumental in fashioning legal arguments to support presidential-sanctioned torture, the attempt to discredit Joe Wilson, and the bogus Niger uranium story. U.S. News has the goods in this fantastic profile. Sickened by those "signing statements" that Bush uses to essentially ignore the laws Congress has passed? Addington has his fingerprints all over those.
Bush, laughing, says that his ratings are in the toilet because people are "unsettled" during war, but NBC's David Gregory fires back: "They?re not just unsettled, sir. They disapprove of the job you?re doing."

Janelle Wong is an Associate Professor of American Studies and the Director of Asian American Studies at University of Maryland in College Park, MD. Her research focuses on race, immigration, and political mobilization. Dr. Wong is the author of Democracy's Promise: Immigrants and American Civic Institutions (2006, University of Michigan Press) and co-author of two books on Asian American politics. She is currently working on a book about the impact Asian American and Latino evangelical Christians will have on the traditional conservative Christian movement and immigrant political participation. Recently, PRRI had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Wong in depth about some of the 2014 American Values Survey's findings on Asian Americans.
Are Millennials Leaving Religion Over LGBT Issues?
The American religious landscape is evolving rapidly. During the last decade, the proportion of religiously unaffiliated Americans has more than doubled—21 percent identify as unaffiliated today, compared to eight percent in 2003. Millennials are three times more likely than the oldest generation to identify as religiously unaffiliated (32 percent vs. 10 percent).
The fact that most Millennials who are now religiously unaffiliated were raised in a religious tradition raises important questions about the forces responsible for this recent shift. PRRI's latest survey finds one reason for high rates of disaffiliation among Millennials is their perception about how religious institutions treat gay and lesbian people. Among Millennials who no longer identify with their childhood religion, nearly one-third say negative teachings about, or treatment of, gay and lesbian people was either a somewhat important (17 percent) or very important (14 percent) factor in their disaffiliation from religion. In contrast, fewer than 1-in-5 Baby Boomers (19 percent) and Silent Generation Americans (17 percent) who have disaffiliated report that this was a somewhat or very important reason for their leaving.
Moreover, the implications of religious institutions' ideologies about, and treatment of, gay and lesbian people are viewed similarly by Millennials and Americans overall. Most Americans agree that religious groups are alienating young people by being too judgmental about gay and lesbian issues. Nearly 6-in-10 (58 percent) Americans agree that religious groups are alienating young people, while roughly one-third (35 percent) disagree. Millennials remain most likely to believe that religious groups are alienating young people. Seven-in-ten (70 percent) Millennials believe that religious groups are alienating young adults by being too judgmental about gay and lesbian issues. In contrast, only roughly 4-in-10 (43 percent) members of the Silent Generation believe that religious groups are alienating young people, while nearly as many (44 percent) disagree.
2 Responses to "Are Millennials Leaving Religion Over LGBT Issues?"
If "religious institutions" had uniform teachings, this would make sense. But there are plenty of churches out there that are not hostile to gay and lesbian people. Saying, "I am not going to church anymore because of their hostility to gay and lesbian people" is akin to saying, "I don't eat seafood anymore, so I am not going to eat in any restaurant."
I think that the official discriminatory stances and policies of certain denominations re: LGBTQI persons are indeed a major factor as to why many young people are wary of Christianity. Indeed, there's hardly and disputing of this.
That said, other factors that make popular American Christianity off-putting to young folks include their perceptions of hypocrisy in the Church; music that they don't enjoy or relate to; too much disrespect toward other world religions; not enough visible work to and with the poor — and in reducing social injustice and poverty in the first place; and not enough emphasis on compassion and following the Way, teachings, and example of Jesus.

If it's ever repeated, it's well worth attending. (She did miss one Biblical reference; but who's counting?). Exhibit on King James Bible at Folger Library is also wonderful, and well worth seeing.

In an event specified for Air pistols, the Statutory Limitations together with the BFTA Limitation for Air pistols shall apply. 2) SIGHTS Any form of sighting system may be used with the exception of Laser sights. No separate device, designed specifically for range-finding may be used. 3) EQUIPMENT TESTING The Organisers must reserve the right to Chronograph any Rifle or Pistol used at any shoot that is subject to the BFTA rules, to ensure compliance with legal requirements. This can be done before, during, or after the shoot at the Chief Marshals discretion 1 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 a. The BFTA has declared a maximum pellet speed for rifles of 5 fps below the 12 ft/lbs limit , this is for the actual pellet being used by the shooter on the day. 5 fps below 6 ft/lbs will apply for pistols. b. A minimum of one registering shot and a maximum of 3 registering shots will be allowed over the chronograph, no power adjustments are permitted once the competitor has started the competition. Failure of the gun to comply with 3) a. above will disqualify that gun for the whole event. Any competitor whose gun fails the chronograph test will have their card marked as void but they may complete the course if they wish with another gun (See Rule 17) FIRING LINE CONDUCT) to help maintain the group they are shooting in. c. Deformed pellets may not be used for the testing process (see Penalties, Rule 14). 4) AMMUNITION Any design of pellet that is completely made of lead, lead alloy, or zinc or zinc alloy may be used. 2 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 5. CHIEF MARSHALL & INTERPRETATION OF THE RULES Prior to each shoot, the organisers will appoint and clearly identify a Chief Marshal and, if required, a Deputy. The responsibility of this appointment is the implementation of these rules and the overall conduct of the shoot. The Chief Marshal or the Deputy will be present and contactable throughout the duration of the shoot. In any matters arising from, or not covered by these rules, the Chief Marshals decision shall be final. The BFTA marshalling system shall be used on all BFTA events unless the BFTA rule otherwise, or the particular event rules state an alternative marshalling system, eg Buddy. 6) MAIN EVENT TARGETS Fall when hit targets shall be used. All targets shall be clearly and consecutively numbered both at the target and the firing line. The hit zones shall be circular and of a contrasting colour to the faceplate. Course builders should allow for shooters who are affected by colour blindness hit-zones are recommended to be yellow or white with faceplates black. The use of simulated hit zones on any other part of the faceplate is prohibited. Standard hit zones shall be between 40 and 45 mm in diameter. The course may contain targets with reduced diameter hit zones, provided that they do not exceed 25% of the total number of targets in the course. The following limitations shall apply to reduced hit zone targets… a. The hit zone shall not be less than 25mm in diameter. b. The furthest target shall be no more than 35 yds (32 metres) from the firing line. c. 3 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 No enforced positional shots are allowed on these targets, eg standing or kneeling. 7) COURSE OF FIRE A full course of fire shall consist of not less than 25 targets. A full course of fire must be completed for a score to be deemed valid excepting any circumstance under Rule 15. or for any other reason deemed valid by the Chief Marshal. The minimum distance for any target from the firing line shall be 8 yards (7 metres) and the maximum distances of any target from the firing line shall be 55 yards (50 metres) it should be made clear at each shoot which measure has been used. As far as is reasonably practicable all targets should be clearly visible from all shooting positions within their respective lane. The total number of targets designated as standing and/or kneeling must not exceed 20% of the total of targets on that particular course and these positional targets should be divided as equally as possible. For example: - On a 30 target course (4 standing and 2 kneeling targets or 2 standing and 4 kneeling targets) On a 40 target course (4 standing and 4 kneeling targets On a 50 target course (6 standing and 4 kneeling targets or 4 standing and 6 kneeling targets) No enforced positional shots shall be set beyond a distance of 45yds (43 metres) 8) TARGET SEQUENCE 4 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 All targets must be shot in numerical order. In the event of a target being shot out of sequence, the competitor shall forfeit the omitted target, being credited with a 'miss' and resume shooting at the target immediately following it. Out of sequence shots involving targets in another lane require the above procedure to be followed. In this case the target shot out of sequence shall be shot as normal upon reaching that lane if not already scored from a previous lane. 9) SCORING Scoring shall be on the basis of one point for each hit and zero for a miss. A hit shall be awarded when the target falls. Any movement of the plate which does not result in the target or the hit zone falling shall be scored a miss. A Hit shall be marked with a X and a Miss marked with a 0. Any declaration on a score card must be correctly filled in. The declaration shall state "To the best of knowledge and belief the equipment listed by me conforms to the current legal requirement". 10) SHOOTING i. Any shooting position is allowed, but some lanes may be designated as 'standing', or 'kneeling'. In the event of a competitor not being able to conform to the above disciplines the following shall apply. a. The competitor shall make it known to the Chief Marshal before the commencement of his/her round that they are unable, for whatever medical reason, to comply with a particular shooting position. 5 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 b. The Chief Marshal shall agree to the use of an alternative position or aid providing that no un fair advantage is gained from any special arrangements. c. Other Marshals shall be made aware of any special arrangements. ii. All shots, from whatever shooting position must be made with the competitor wholly behind the firing line but able to touch it. iii. Fully adjustable Rifle Stocks are permitted to accommodate various shooting styles and positions with no limitation as to design. Additional attachments are not permitted to be added or removed during the course of the event. (Except in cases related to i.b. above). a. A single rifle sling, separate or otherwise, and/or a butt hook are permitted as a means of steadying the aim. b. Competitors shall not gain extra support by resting their feet against any post or similar object that forms part of the course. Equally, the back must not rest against any support that is not part of the shooters seat. c. Any type of clothing, glove, or footwear is allowed provided it is not a hazard to the shooter or others. Clothing may be padded to reduce the pressure of the rifle stock resting on the arm or 6 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 knee. The padding may be e.g. felt, or layers of cloth. The surface of the pad on which the stock rests must be flat and not shaped to provide lateral support to the stock. Separate pads may be worn over non-padded clothing provided that they conform to the above specifications. iv. Only one shot is allowed at any one target. Shots taken at any one lane shall not exceed the total number of targets in that lane with the following exceptions: a. Rule 8. b. Rule 13 c. Un-sighted shots with the knowledge and consent of partner/s or Marshall. d. In a shoot-off situation. 10. SHOOTING (cont.) v. Definitions of shooting positions: a.

A legal seat may be used to support the rear foot and/or ankle, or to keep the knee clean provided that the foot has contact with the ground. The leading hand will support the gun and, forward of the wrist should itself be unsupported. c. Standing : Any shot taken in a standing position without the aid of any support other than the ones previously mentioned in these rules. vi. Disabilities Paraplegic competitors and others with physical disabilities may use rests as agreed with the Chief Marshal. 11) TIME PER LANE In the event of a competitor delaying excessively, the Marshall may time the lane, with the time starting when the eye is put to the sight. The time will be continuous, with the number of minutes allowed equating to the number of targets in that lane. (Timing is mandatory for all BFTA events) If the total time exceeds 2 minutes the competitor will forfeit any `hit` obtained after the expiry of the allotted time. 12) SEATING 8 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 The maximum height for any form of seating is 4 inches (100 mm), including any backrest. Bean-bags should be measured when flattened between 2 boards. The seat may be used as an aid to sitting, kneeling, or standing shots using the above rules but for no other purpose. Variati ons on this rule may be applied at the discretion of the Chief Marshal in recognition of a competitor's disability, providing that no unfair advantage is gained. 13) DISPUTED SCORES Any disputed score must be made prior to leaving the target. Under no circumstances should the competitor touch the reset cord until the dispute has been resolved. Targets should be checked by the Chief Marshal or his/her deputy whose decision shall be final. Any target found to be defective should be repaired or replaced and re-shot. 14. PENALTIES The penalty for un-safe practice, or any form of cheating is disqualification, with the governing bodies reserving the right to take further action. 15) LEAVING THE FIRING LINE 9 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 The competitors may only leave the firing line under the following conditions: - a. Voluntary abandonment of the shoot, in which case his score to that point will be presented as a valid result. b. To effect a repair to equipment which has been rendered unsafe or incapable of firing a shot by whatever means. This does not include zero-shift of optical equipment or poorly zeroed systems. (Rule 15) b. is NOT applicable when a shot-gun start is employed, in this circumstance please see Shooting Rule 17) FIRING LINE CONDUCT) c. For any other occurrence deemed valid by the Chief Marshal or Deputy. Note: In Rule 15) b, the competitor may replace the offending part or equipment with the permission of the Chief Marshal or Deputy. A visit to the zeroing range is not permitted by the competitor or any person on his behalf, using the repaired or exchanged equipment, before re-commencing the shoot. (Unless the Chief Marshal grants specific permission). In all the above cases the competitors scorecard must be handed to the Chief Marshal or Deputy and his/her permission obtained to leave the firing line, with a stipulated time for return. The card will be marked with the time of departure. Any card not claimed within the designated time will be submitted for scoring. 16) TIED SCORES In the event of tied scores a shoot-off shall decide the final placings. The course of fire and the targets must be representative of the event. 10 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 17) FIRING LINE CONDUCT Coaching or persistent barracking of a competitor in competition is not allowed. Rifles and/or equipment will NOT be shared on the firing line (except in the circumstances below). In the event of a 'cease fire' order, guns will be discharged safely into the ground and the muzzle kept angled downwards. Targets must NOT be sighted during a cease fire. Guns will only be sighted, shouldered or discharged over a recognised firing line. Guns will always be kept un-loaded and un-cocked when not in use. Should a competitor's gun, sight or any other equipment break down having begun a shotgun-start competition, the following will apply. 1 ) The competitor may not leave the firing line, but, a replacement gun may be given to him/her and the faulty gun etc. removed from the course. The replacement gun will be tested over the chronograph at the earliest opportunity. 2 ) If the competitor's partner/s are in agreement he/she may continue by sharing a gun with one or more of them, again the faulted equipment shall be removed from the course. Either 1 ) and/or 2 ) above must take place in agreement with the Chief Marshal. (Coaching may be allowed by team members for certain Team events at the discretion of the Chief Marshal). All practice shooting or zeroing must be restricted to the zeroing range. No practice shots may be fired on the main course until all shoot-offs have been concluded. 18) CLASS OF ENTRY 11 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 If used, there will be classes of entry per the BFTA Grading system. Shooters may elect to shoot in a higher grade. This does not effect their listed grading unless results alter their grading percentage. Supervision of shooters under the age of 17 years will be in accordance with legal requirements. NOTE: A shooting partner in competition does not necessarily constitute supervision of a shooter under 14 years of age. The above age limits are subject to variation if the law changes at any time during the shooting season. 19) DRUGS & ALCOHOL The carrying and/or consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs on the firing line is strictly prohibited. The handling or usage of a gun will not be permitted if the competitor has consumed alcohol or illegal drugs prior to shooting. 20) DISPLAY OF RULES AND INSURANCE A current copy of the BFTA General Shoot Rules shall be clearly displayed at the booking-in point of all shoots, together with a current and valid Certificate of Insurance. 21) RULES 12 / 13 BFTA Main Shoot Rules Written by SteveH Tuesday, 03 February 2009 12:42 The above rules must be strictly adhered to.
