The following areas are also considered: 1-1Safety: Our matches are designed with SAFETY as the primary consideration. 1-2 Quality: The courses of fire are designed primarily to test a competitor’s shooting skills, not their physical abilities: However, there is movement and the ability to assume different shooting positions is required. 1-3 Balance: The courses of fire are designed to test accuracy, speed and to a lesser extent, power. Competitors may use smaller caliber handguns; however, they will be at a disadvantage when attempting to knock down steel targets. 1-4 Sanctioning: This course is NOT sanctioned by any agency, however; many of the IPSC’s and the NRA’s rules are used. 1-5 Pasting Targets and Range Clean-up: This match is run by volunteers: Competitors are expected to assist with pasting targets during the match and range clean-up at the end of the match. CHAPTER 2 – RANGE & COURSE CONSTRUCTION: The defensive pistol match is held on range 3 which is divided into 3-separate bays. Each bay is independent of the other bays (any individual bay may be cold even when the adjoining bay is hot). 2-1 Loaded Firearms - Competitors: Competitors arriving at the range with a loaded firearm will report to a match official (one of the range officers; the match director, or the range safety officer) to clear and holster their firearm before the match begins. 2-2 Loaded Firearms – Spectators: Spectators who are legally armed are not required to check-in with a match official but they MUST NOT handle any firearms except: 2-2.1 Under the supervision of a match official, or 2-2.2 When confronted with a situation where the use of lethal force is allowed under North Carolina laws. - 5 - DEFENSIVE PISTOL MATCH 2-3 Safe Angles of Fire: All rounds will be fired down-range towards the impact berm and competitors must be careful to observe the 180 rule, i.e. the muzzle of their gun must never be pointed any farther than a line parallel to the impact berm. 2-4 Minimum Distances: Whenever metal targets are used competitors, match officials, and spectators must maintain a minimum distance of 7-yards from the metal targets while they are being shot. 2-5 Facilities: Restrooms are available on site. There are no food or beverage services available so individuals are encouraged to bring their own snacks and non- alcoholic beverages. 2-6 Target Locations: Targets will be located at various distances, from point-blank to 25-yards, in such a manner that all rounds will be fired down-range (towards the impact berm). 2-7 Target Placement: Paper targets will be carefully placed to prevent shoot through. 2-7.1 When paper and metal targets are placed in close proximity, care will be taken to minimize the risk of splatter from the metal targets. 2-8 Berms: The impact berm and the area between the berm and the bay walls are off limits to all persons, at all times, unless access is specifically authorized by either the match director or range officer: All 3 bays must be cold before access to this area can be authorized. 2-9 Cover & Concealment: All props used will simulate hard cover unless they are specifically identified as concealment only. 2-10 Safety Area: Crosse Creek Rifle and Pistol Club does NOT use a safety area. During Defensive Pistol Matches firearms will only be handled while under the supervision of a match official. CHAPTER 3 – MATCH INFORMATION: Crosse Creek Rifle and Pistol Club (CCRPC) matches are open to the general public with a few restrictions. - 6 - DEFENSIVE PISTOL MATCH 3-1 Competitors: Competitors must be legally able to possess and use a handgun under North Carolina laws. 3-1-1 Minors: Minors are permitted to compete only when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. 3-2 Firing Range Access: The public is welcome on range 3 during the defensive pistol match (for both competitors and spectators). Use of any other range is limited to Crosse Creek Rifle and Pistol Club members and their accompanied guests. 3-3 Location and Timing: The match is held on range 3 on the second (2nd) Saturday of the month. Registration normally starts at 8:30 AM; followed by the safety briefing and stage briefs at 8:45, with the match (actual firing) starting at 9:00 AM. 3-3-1 In cold weather start of the match may be delayed to allow it to warm up. The match director will notify participants via the club’s website/email system when this occurs. 3-3-2 Attendance at the safety briefing is MANDATORY. If you arrive after the briefing you won’t be allowed to shoot in the match. 3-4 Stage Briefings: Before the match starts the match director or a range officer will perform a walk-thru of each stage with the competitors. CHAPTER 4 – RANGE EQUIPMENT: The selection and placement of range equipment is made with safety in mind. Neither the competitor nor the match officials are permitted to change the location or type of target or obstacles in a stage after any competitors have fired that stage. EXCEPTION: When any target or obstacle creates a safety hazard, match officials will correct the safety hazard. Once corrected, any competitors who have already fired that stage may be required to refire the stage (at the match official’s discretion). 4-1 Permitted Targets: Crosse Creek Rifle and Pistol club uses the following types of targets in our defensive pistol matches: 4-1-1 Cardboard or Paper: Cardboard or paper targets may silhouette; picture; scoring ring; or blank (such as paper plates). - 7 - DEFENSIVE PISTOL MATCH 4-1-2 Metal: Metal targets may be steel plates, steel poppers, steel gongs, or swinging targets (such as a dueling tree). 4-1-3 No-Shoot: No-shoot targets may be silhouette or picture: Picture targets which show a police officer or an unarmed person are no-shoot targets. On picture targets which show both a hostage and a hostage taker, only the hostage is a no-shoot target. Silhouette targets with the plain white side (without scoring rings) facing the shooter are no-shoot targets. 4-1-4 Targets Behind Cover: The portion of targets that are partially covered with paint are considered to be behind hard cover and no hits in this part of the target will be used for scoring. Barrels or other obstructions that are placed in front of a target are also considered as hard cover so no round that passes thru such obstructions will be used for scoring. 4-2 Prohibited Targets: The following types of targets are prohibited in Crosse Creek Rifle and Pistol Club defensive pistol matches: 4-2-1 Bouncing: Bouncing targets are placed upon the ground and shot several times to bounce them down the range. 4-2-2 Exploding: Any targets designed to explode when struck (such as Sureshot and Tannerite targets). 4-2-3 Frangible Targets: Frangible targets are any targets that are intended to break apart upon impact (such as clay targets). 4-3 Chronograph and Power Factors:

  • Case Courtesy of Dr. Vivian Snyder (EAC Member, Alameda County)
    Case courtesy of Dr. Vivian Snyder (EAC member, Alameda County) Bullets found at the scene Responses: A. .410 shot shell (14.08% responses) .410 bore is one of the smallest caliber shotgun shells available, most significant for its capability of being fired from either a shotgun or select handguns, most popularly the Taurus Judge revolver. As with other shotgun ammunition, this ammunition consists of multiple lead pellets held within a plastic shot sleeve/cup and casing. Another unique feature of .410 gauge shot cups being that they peel back to produce 3 “petals” instead of the usual 4 seen with other shotgun shells. Depending on range of fire the plastic shot sleeve may follow the charge into the wound. B. Snake shot (20.66% responses) Snake shot cartridges are smaller versions of shotgun cartridges designed to be fired using handguns. They contain multiple pellets within a brass casing, topped by a hollow plastic capsule. The plastic capsule shatters during firing, allowing shot to disperse after exiting the muzzle. This ammunition is generally used for shooting snakes, rodents and birds at very close range, and has very limited penetrating power. Despite generally having comparable size lead shot to Glaser rounds, injuries related to this ammunition have significantly less penetrating ability and would not contain jacket fragments. C. “Lead snowstorm” from high-velocity handgun ammunition (29.11% responses) Rifle ammunition and some high-velocity handgun ammunition (e.g. .357 magnum rounds) are associated with one of the most characteristic X-ray findings in forensic pathology. The “lead snowstorm” is described as hundreds of small radiopaque bullet fragments scattered along a wound track.
