Match Safety Rules - Please read these rules thoroughly. Any questions should be directed to [email protected].
1. Treat all guns as if they are loaded even when they are not. The North Florida 2-gun match operates on a cold range. All firearms will be unloaded at all times and safely holstered, bagged, placed on a safe table, or placed in a cart with muzzle down and chamber flag inserted until it is your turn to shoot and your RO has given the appropriate commands for you to load your firearm(s). Gun handling must be conducted at safe tables as per USPSA rules, or at the discretion of an RO or Match Director. No ammunition on red safe tables, nor in your hands while at a safe table.
2. Never point your firearm at anything you are not willing to harm or destroy, regardless if the firearm has a chamber flag. All rifles must have a chamber flag inserted at all times unless it is being used during a course of fire. All rifles must be stored in a cart with muzzle point downwards, placed on a safe table with muzzle pointed in a safe direction, bagged, or held in hand with muzzle pointing either straight down or straight up. Be mindful of your muzzle to not accidentally sweep or flag any part of anyone's body.
3. Never put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire. If moving more than 2-3 steps, take your finger off of the trigger. We highly suggest engaging the safety on your rifle when transitioning between positions, as this may help to prevent a negligent discharge if the trigger is inadvertently pressed.
4. Be sure of your target and backstop. Firing at a target with a questionable backstop is cause for concern. Ask your RO to be sure. Negligent discharges due to improper handling of firearm, including accidental discharging over a berm is not allowed.
5. Red safe tables may be used by shooters to check unloaded firearms for function. Ammunition, whether loose, or contained in a magazine or box may not be placed on red safe tables. You may load your magazines anywhere you would like except at red safe tables.
6. Shooters must always keep their gun muzzle pointed within a 180-degree plane facing downrange.
7. You may not sling a loaded rifle. If you would like to sling your rifle within your course of fire, you must unload your rifle first, have your RO call "clear", then sling it.
8. A firearm must be safely placed, with safety engaged or decocked, in dump barrel or bucket before drawing or firing another firearm. You may not discharge a firearm while holding a second firearm.
9. If reholstering a loaded hammer-fired pistol with manual safety, the safety must be engaged. If reholstering a loaded hammer-fired pistol with decocker, the pistol must be decocked. You may not go prone with a loaded and holstered pistol.
10. Unless specifically allowed as per stage instructions, firearms are not allowed to be grounded nor dropped.
11. If either your eye or ear protection falls off or is in the process of falling off, you may ask the RO to stop your stage, and restart it. Safety is our number one priority, and we value our vision and hearing. You will be allowed to reshoot your stage.
12. Your ROs may coach you during the course of your run for any reason. This may include friendly reminders to not forget a target, and/or safety reminders on firearm handling. You may ask your RO questions at any given time, even during your course of fire. Safety is of the utmost importance, and we are here to help everyone succeed.
13. Your ROs may stop your stage run at any given time for any reason. This may include, but is not limited to: gun safety issues, shooter safety violations, stage not having been reset properly, stage errors and/or props not functioning correctly, safety issues regarding your firearm, hearing or eye protection falling off or incorrectly placed, and any equipment malfunctions. Reshoots will be at the discretion of the ROs.
14. Your squad RO and Match Director have the final say on all safety and operational matters. Any infractions to the above safety and procedural rules may be subject to a penalty or match disqualification. Any further questions should be directed to [email protected].
