RULES:

SAFETY – All rifles will have the bolts open or removed behind the firing line. The use of open bolt indicators is encouraged, and they will be available at the match. No one will load on the firing line until the command “LOAD” is given. Bolts will be closed only when the rifle is pointed in the direction of the target.

LOADING IN SLOW FIRE – In slow fire, only one round may be loaded at a time. This rule is strictly enforced to enhance safety.

LOADING / RELOADING IN SUSTAINED FIRE - The shooter must reload once during the 10 shot string. M1 rifles should be initially loaded with 2 round and then reloaded with a clip of 8. Other rifles are usually loaded with 5 and reloaded with the final 5 rounds, but may be loaded as the shooter desires to sum to the 10 rounds only. Reloading in military bolts actions is usually facilitated with a stripper clip. Practice this before the match, but not with live ammo.

ALIBIS AND EXCESSIVE HITS – No alibis or re-fires will be allowed. Be sure your rifle will function and that your ammunition will chamber and fire. If your rifle malfunctions, you must clear it and continue as best you can. If a round fails to fire you may immediately replace it with another round. Shots fired on the wrong target will be scored as misses. If a target receives excessive rounds and the firer cannot be determined by caliber or other means, the hits of highest value will be scored and the lower value hits in excess of the allowed number will be discounted.

MISCELLANEOUS: Shooters will be required to act a scorekeepers and target operators. Be sure to bring eye and ear protection. Eye protection is required when operating targets.
