This will be an outlaw match only. Scores will not count toward your SCSA classification. This is just for fun.
All SCSA Steel Challenge rules still apply with the following additional rules:
All competitors will be required to have an approved primary flashlight. Secondary flashlights are allowed for general illumination (walking, reloading or other administrative purposes).
Approved primary flashlights:
1. Must be capable of atleast 60 lumens but no more than 1000 lumens.
2. Must be securely attached to the firearm, worn on the competitor (e.g. headlamp), or held in the weak/support hand (e.g. Chapman, Harries or FBI technique) during the course of fire. Weapon lights attached to a firearm must remain attached to the firearm unless the firearm or light needs to be serviced at a designated Safe Area. Competitors will not be allowed to shoot with improperly secured devices.
A) “Securely attached” is defined in this section as being fastened by screws, rings, M-Lok, picatinny or 1913 rail systems. The flashlight can not be attached with duct tape, scotch tape, or any other kind of tape or glue. The Match Director will make the final decision on any questionably attached lights.
3. Competitors will turn ON their primary flashlight at the “Make Ready” command.
4. Competitors will turn OFF their primary flashlight AFTER the “If clear, hammer down, holster” command and just before holstering or bagging of the firearm.
5. Flashlights cannot be placed on the ground, propped up or held by anyone else during the course of fire and must remain under the direct control of the competitor.
Laser devices are allowed but must be used in conjunction with a flashlight (the laser is useless if you can’t see the target). Night vision devices are not allowed (because the RO needs to see the targets too).
If a primary flashlight fails or detaches during a course of fire, the RO will immediately stop the current string and record the time and any misses. The shooter will have up to two minutes to attempt to reattach the light. If the shooter is unable to reattach the light after two minutes, the RO will end the stage on that string and direct the shooter to a Safe Area to make further repairs. That shooter will be allowed to complete any un-shot strings should he be able to reattach the light.
After a course of fire is completed, any light that is NOT ATTACHED to a firearm can be activated to assist in resetting targets, reloading or other administrative purposes.
During the course of fire, only the competitor should have an activated flashlight pointed at the targets. However, any Range Safety Office can activate his/her light at any time if they observe any safety violations and stop the competitor.
Spectators and competitors that are not shooting should not have an activated flashlight pointed toward the targets while a course of fire is active. Competitors that are reloading or at a Safe Area should make every effort to not shine any lights towards the targets or the current shooter. All lights should be at a low power setting when not in use during a course of fire. Spectators and competitors that are not shooting should make every effort to not disturb the current shooter with excess light.
