Safety and Conduct:
- Basic firearm safety will be observed at all times.
- Do not point your firearm at another human being and keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are aligned on designated targets.
- Rifles and pistols will only be loaded under the supervision of a Range Safety Officer (RSO).
- Loaded pistols must remain in a secure holster until shooting a stage under the supervision of a RSO.
- If you are found to be breaking these rules you will be disqualified and escorted off the premises.
Course Details:
- The run route will take you over varying terrain, maybe through water, and/or over/under obstacles.
- Do not stray from the marked trail or it may take you into the live fire impact area.
- When you approach a shooting stage, you will first show the RSO an empty mag well and empty chamber on your rifle.
- If another shooter is currently on the stage when you arrive, the RSO will tell you to start your stopwatch to keep track of your wait time.
- It is your responsibility to properly time your wait time.
- The cumulative wait time, if any, will be subtracted from your overall run time.
- When the shooter in front of you has cleared the stage, the RSO will record the wait time that you have on your watch.
- After explaining the stage to you, the RSO will give you commands to load and begin firing.
- Every shooting stage will have a time limit/par time plus points down.
- If the RSO tells you to cease fire you will unload and show clear pistol/rifle.
- The RSO will tell you your time and record your time on the score card.
- Do not run with the bolt open on your empty rifle!
