I often run timer at cowboy matches and the most important thing I do is watch the shooter. We have spotters to watch the plates for hits and to watch for procedurals. Just at the last shoot I had a shooter throw a squibb from his 97, I immediatly stopped him from shooting the next round, we checked his barrel and it was blocked. Sometimes the shooters are so fast you really have to be on your toes to catch them, but thats what you have to do, stop the shooter. I'm glad I caught him! I've also seen it happen at tac matches, during the safety meeting I stress to the timers to watch the shooter and let the spotters worry about the hits and misses. An accident isn't on the menu.
