Local rules: Ear protection is required and all participants are strongly encouraged to wear eye protection on the firing line, plus eye protection and ear protection are mandatory and a hat is recommended in the pits. All shooters are required to sign a Release and Hold Harmless Agreement to participate. All minors (under 18 years) must be under direct adult supervision anywhere on club property.
Misses: Every competitor is expected to have every shot within the frame. Equipment capable of 15 minutes elevation above the 200 yard zero. If you do not have a zero for each yard line, attend the squadded practice on December 26 and request assistance at squadding. We will not accommodate first time installations of new scopes or new irons. Each shooter is responsible for every round leaving their rifle. Once the Match starts, a non-visible miss may be grounds to pull the competitor from the line, even during the sighting period, at the discretion of the Chief Range Officer. Scorers need to ensure the shooter is on target. During the unlimited sighting shot interval the scorer may coach the shooter e.g. watch the bullet path down range and offer corrections. Coaching is only allowed during sighting shots. If a non-visible miss is off the target, it must be reported to the line officer. If you develop a sight malfunction, the rules give you time to repair it. The line officer may insist you go to the 50 yard practice range, or the sight-in 200yds range, and re-zero before he allows you to resume shooting at 600 yards. We will not allow unsafe practices or non-visible misses. The Chief Range Officer will have the discretion to disqualify the competitor for the rest of the match.
Score keepers: The Scorer will confirm that the data required on the score card are entered and are correct. The Scorer will ensure both he and the shooter complete and sign the score cards. Rule 14.3.1. The scorer must account for all rounds fired. Incomplete scorecards will not be accepted by the Stat Officer. It is the shooter’s responsibility to ensure the score keeper is recording all shots. If score keeper misses a shot, the shooter may, at the Range Officer’s discretion, be required to shoot additional rounds.
The scorecards and the Statistical Officer’s report are the official data. Match updates and final scores results will be posted at the pole barn and the official challenge period of 30 min begins once they are posted. It is the competitor’s responsibility to verify these scores during the challenge period and report any discrepancies to stat officials
Coaching is prohibited during all individual matches during shots for record (Rule 9.10) with exception during unlimited sighters match segment (Rule 9.2(b)) or for juniors with pre-arranged expanded classifications status provided by match sponsor(s) under rule 19.4.1 only.

Sharing: At time of registration, PLEASE identify any cases of equipment sharing, needs for zeroes, needs for help in the pits, new competitors, etc. The Chief Range Officer and the Statistical Officer will do what they can to accommodate/balance the requests via squadding. Total satisfaction is not guaranteed.
