The 4" circle in head box will be more challenging. M&P back in BUG is
probably going to get Smith & Wesson to sponsor BUG again. 50 yds (150 ft)
for standards? IMHO, the penalties for pasting/resetting and for
disturbance/interferance might just cause more arguments over rules >;-)

provisional 2017 IDPA rules that have been made known by Ken Reed. The
discussion starts at 15 minute mark.
Here is the summary of refinements discussed:
· Visible cover reference lines will be replaced with Fault Lines,
one per shooting position.
· New target, 4” circle in head box, down 0 inside, down 1 outside.
Old targets can be used. Circle, may be drawn on old targets. Circle is
recommended for classifier.
· BUG, PCC, and Carry Optics (?) will specialty match divisions match
directors discretion.
· A list of Flagrant penalties will be provided.
· The M&P Shield is BUG legal again.
· Standards stage max range is increased to 50 yards.
· Penalty can be assessed for shooters not helping with pasting and
resetting.
· Penalty can be assessed for up-range shooters causing a disturbance
interfering with current shooter and/or SO.
