If the competitor intentionally displaces her ear/eye protection, this will be considered unsportsmanlike conduct and will result in a match DQ under Rule 13.7. 1.7.3.

If eye/ear protection is displaced during the COF, but the competitor does not have a firearm in her hand, she will be required to replace the protection prior to resuming the COF. 2. Range Commands and Procedures 2.1. The WSB will specify target type/count and firearm(s) required for proper engagement. The WSB read by the RO supersedes the match book or any previously posted stage information. 2.2. Shooters are responsible to listen to the WSB and ask questions prior to receiving the make ready command regarding what firearms may engage which targets to avoid procedural penalties or match safety penalties including DQ. 2.3. Using a firearm abandonment barrel/container or pickup table/container to support themselves at any time is not allowed. This is a significant advantage and is a 5 second A Girl & A Gun 2019 Fall Festival Rule Book. Rev. 9/10/19 - pg. 2 procedural penalty per shot. Leaning on tables or placing elbows or bipods on tables counts as support. WSB may make exceptions as required. 2.4. “Make Ready”: The COF begins with the “Make Ready” command and ends after the “Range is clear” command. 2.5. The RO will give the “Make Ready” command signifying the start of the COF and then direct and supervise the competitor through the process of preparing and positioning all firearms. The initial “Make Ready” command defines the start of the COF regardless of how many firearms are subsequently prepared, loaded, and/or staged following that command. 2.6. “Are You Ready-Standby”: After the competitor has staged all firearms to be used in the COF, the RO will accompany them to the start position. The RO will then issue the commands “Are You Ready” followed shortly by “Standby” and the activation of the timer. 2.6.1. Any movement such as a head nod or audible response, or the lack of any movement or audible response from the competitor after being issued the “Are You Ready?” command indicates that she fully understands the requirements of the COF and is ready to proceed. If the competitor is not ready, she will clearly state “No” or “Not Ready”. A competitor will assume the required start position to indicate her readiness to the RO. 2.6.2. Default Start Position.

Handgun start, the competitor must stand erect, facing downrange, with arms hanging naturally by the sides. 2.6.2.2. Rifle or shotgun start, low ready. 2.7. “Muzzle”: A courtesy verbal warning by the RO will be given if you are in danger of breaking the 180 by pointing your firearm in an unsafe direction. If you break the 180 and point your firearm in an unsafe direction before the RO has enough time to issue the courtesy warning, it is an immediate Match DQ. 2.8. “Stop”: Any RO assigned to a stage may issue this command at any time during the COF. The competitor must immediately cease firing, stop moving, and wait for further instruction from the RO. 2.9. “If You Are Finished, Unload and Show Clear”: If the competitor has finished shooting, she will lower her firearm and present it for inspection by the RO with the muzzle pointed downrange, magazine removed or tube emptied, slide/bolt locked or held open and chamber empty. (see rule 6.12.2). The RO will instruct and accompany the competitor to safely unload all firearms used in the COF. 2.9.1. Handguns: Release the slide and pull the trigger without touching the hammer or de- cocker then holster the handgun 2.9.2. Rifle/Shotgun: Bolt/Action locked back for show clear, then bolt/action closed on inserted chamber safety flag inserted. 2.9.3. Rifles/Shotguns will be carried muzzle up or down when enter/exiting the stage. 2.10. “Range Is Clear”: This command will be issued only after all firearms have been cleared by the RO. This declaration signifies the end of the COF. Once this declaration is made, officials and competitors may move downrange to score, and reset targets. 2.10.1. When appropriate, an abandoned firearm may be cleared by the RO and competitor’s proxy before the end of the COF and Range is Clear declaration. 2.10.2. When appropriate, the RO in charge of recording scored targets may allow the rest set of targets before the end of the COF and Range is Clear declaration. 3. Category 3.1.

  • Your First Multigun Match When You Come to Your First Match, You Will Need to Bring Along a Minimum Contingent of Equipment
    www.OhioShootingSports.com Match Director: Michael Craig [email protected] 740-964-1131 Stage Designs: http://www.defensivepistol.org/2010PCSIMultiGunStages.html 2010 Scores: http://www.defensivepistol.org/2010PCSIMultiGunScores.html 2010 Match Dates: June 6, July 11(Buckeye Firearms Association), Aug 8, Nov 7 Your First MultiGun Match When you come to your first match, you will need to bring along a minimum contingent of equipment. Don't go overboard initially. Remember you may need to move all of your equipment from stage to stage. For you first match you need to consider the following: Rifle • A .223 or larger caliber, semi-automatic rifle in good working order. For this event we will accept .22 and larger pistol caliber carbines as well. • A rifle case (soft or hard). When you first arrive at our range, your rifle must be encased and we are requiring the use of empty chamber flags or equivalent method. • At least 2 30-round magazines or the equivalent in lower capacity magazines. Our rifle stages can require as many as 30-60 rounds. If you need to take any extra shots you probably want to carry at least one spare in case you need it during the run. • Some way to carry around your extra magazines. Various types of inexpensive magazine pouches are available from a number of sources, although you may be able to just stick it in your belt or pocket for your first match. • At least 100 rounds of ammunition. If you need extra shots, its better have enough ammunition than not. If you have a "range malfunction" during your run and need to "reshoot", you'd better have enough ammunition to reshoot the entire course of fire.

  • Holster Qualification Course Training Manual
    HOLSTER QUALIFICATION COURSE TRAINING MANUAL SECOND EDITION JUNE 2014 DISCIPLINES THAT INVOLVE HOLSTERS NRA – ACTION PISTOL SHOOTING A series of established matches shot at set distances involving a specified number of shots fired with a strict time limit. No ‘on range’ movement is required, although shooters often choose to shoot from the prone position and do develop special techniques to help improve their scoring abilities. The four major match events shot in competition include: Barricade event, Practical event, Moving target event, Falling Plates event. The total number of aggregated points possible for this type of competition is 1920X The official target is the AP-1 with separate scoring rings. IPSC – PRACTICAL PISTOL SHOOTING A comprehensive range of stages, generally designed to be different at each event, make up a Practical Pistol Shooting competition. The idea is to test the shooter’s level of ability involving the ‘practical use of a handgun’. Such skills represent a ‘shoot’ or ‘no shoot’ situation. Targets can be partially obscured, moving or swinging out of sight. Steel knock down targets and pepper poppers are also used. Target scoring depends on the power factor of the ammunition used. Further details can be obtained from the IPSC Rule book. Targets used are the Classic and Mini IPSC target as well as the reactive pepper poppers and round of square steel targets. SPEED SHOOTING - STEEL CHALLENGE SHOOTING From a static position each shooter engages an array of steel targets in the fastest possible time. Each match is shot ‘comstock’ which means an unlimited number of rounds. Usually five ‘strings’ or ‘runs’ of fire are shot, the highest time deducted, leaving the aggregated time of four runs as the shooter’s score for a particular course of fire.
