Standing behind the table, both hands on firearm with muzzle touching the table.
Fingers must be clearly outside the trigger guard.
Range officer may declare a target down if it is hit more than once and fails to fall. Offering a reshoot will be the discretion of the range officer. Keep shooting until all targets are down.
There will be no “failure to engage” penalties.
There will be two minute time limit on all match stages.
This is not a par time (there will be no penalty for overtime shots) but a means to ensure match flow.
If invoked, the range officer will stop the competitor who will then receive the time on the timer plus a five-second penalty for each target still standing.
Acceptable calibers: 9×19 mm, .40 S&W, .45 Auto, 38 Special. No magnum loads in any caliber. No ammo over 1350 fps.
Practiscore will be used for scoring. Competitors are encouraged to review and accept their score after the “range is clear” command.
Range Commands-
Range commands will be issued in the following format
“Make ready” – Competitor will unbag, or draw their firearm, or remove PCC from cart, load, and assume the start position. Sight pictures are allowed from the shooting area of the start position.
“Are you ready?” -The lack of response from the competitor is assumed to be affirmative
“Stand by” -This command will be followed by brief pause before start signal. If a competitor moves before the start signal, the range officer will restart with “are you ready?”
Start signal (beep from the timer) – competitor engages targets
“Stop” – If needed. The competitor will stop shooting and await further instruction
“If you are finished, unload and show clear” (or just “unload and show clear” if a competitor is stopped) – remove magazine or empty the cylinder, show the cleared firearm to the range officer.
If clear, one of the follow instructions are given. Note that “hammer down” means “pull the trigger while pointed at the rear berm”
Auto – “If clear, hammer down and bag” (or “holster”)
Revolver – “If clear, close cylinder and bag” (or “holster”)
PCC – “If clear, hammer down, flag and bag” (or “return to cart”)
“Range is clear” followed by the competitor’s time- it is safe to retrieve magazines or clips and proceed downrange to reset.
The match will be held at the SIG Sauer Academy in Epping, NH.
