Safety

• Guns are to be bagged or cased.
• The gun will remain in the bag, case, or gun caddy until the shooter is on the firing line.
• When the gun is extracted from the bag/case, the muzzle must be pointed down range.
• The gun will be safely returned to the bag or case before the shooter leaves the firing line.
• Guns that use a magazine (mag) or multi-pellet feeding device will need to have the mag removed from the gun after shooting the lane and before bagging the gun.
• The gun should not be cocked and charged with air when stowing the gun in the bag/case.
• Treat ever gun as if it were loaded. Point the muzzle in a safe direction, and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
• Eye protection is required.

Guns, Scopes, Ammunition, Equipment

• Air Rifles, firing projectiles no larger than .30 caliber, shooting a muzzle energy less than 80 foot-pounds of energy (fpe). We recommend at least 28 fpe to knock down targets.
• No part of the stock, forward the trigger, shall be more than 6 inches below the centerline of the bore.
• Hook butt plates (over or under hook) are not allowed. If the buttplate contains wings, they shall not be adjusted to more than 30 degrees, and will not be set with more than a 1 inch depth of curve. 
• No part of the stock or attachment (i.e. knee riser) shall be adjusted after making the first record shot.
• Only diabolo style pellets are permitted (pellets that have a waist). Bullets, slugs, and round/ball bearing ammo are not allowed.
• Pellets shall be constructed of soft metal or soft metal alloy (i.e. Lead or Tin) and must be made of a single metal/alloy.  (steel projectiles are not allowed.)
• Scopes with computer controlled/assisted aiming reticles are not allowed.
• Scopes have no limit on magnification power. Use as high or low magnification as you want.
• Scopes can be adjusted during the course of fire (i.e. parallax, focus, elevation, windage, and power)
• Shooting Aids such as shooting jackets, harnesses, rigid shooting pants, and shooting gloves are not allowed.  Generally, if you wouldn't wear it casually or on a hunt, you shouldn't be wearing it during this event.
• Slings are not allowed.
• Bipods attached to the gun are not allowed to be used as a bipod support device. 
• Shooting sticks/bog sticks are allowed. They can be a bipod or monopod. No tripods. Shooting sticks must not be attached to the gun and must fall free from the gun when the gun is lifted up from the support. HOG SADDLES (such as the BOG Deathgrip) longer than 2 inches are not allowed, and must be limited to 2 inches from front to back. Examples of allowed bipods are: Primos Trigger Stick, Vanguard Scout, BOG Havoc Bipod

Targets

• Will be placed between 15 and 115 yards.
• The distance to targets will be provided. But, you can use your own range finding devices, including laser range finders.
• A mixture of kill zone (KZ) style targets, knockdown style targets, or swinger/spinner targets will be used.
• KZ targets may have an irregular shaped kill zones.
• KZ targets will only go down when striking a specific area of the target that causes it to fall.
• Knockdown targets will go down with a strike on the face of the target, but these may need to be hit higher than center to cause them to fall.
• Swinger/spinner targets are scored as a hit if the target swings away from the shooter when hit.  The movement must be significant enough to indicate a successful hit, not to be confused with movement caused by wind.  It may not be good enough to barely scratch the target to score a hit, the swinger must move as if it is a solid hit (ex: deflect at least a 1/4inch).
• There will be no challenging of targets.  If a KZ or knockdown target goes down it's a hit, if it does not go down, it's a miss.
• There is no guarantee targets will be placed in such a way it can be shot from your preferred shooting position.  There may be natural or man made barriers that obstruct the visibility of the target.

Scoring / Courses of Fire

• In most cases you will shoot two shots per target, but there may be cases when a different course of fire is in effect for a lane. 
• Any deviation from the two shot per target format will be noted during the shooter's meeting.
• Types of Courses of fire: 
• Two shots per target (standard time limit) - This is the default and most common course of fire for a lane.
• One shot per target (standard time limit)
• KYL Target Scoring (standard time limit) - one shot per swinger target per swinger rack, starting with the largest swinger on the rack to the smallest swinger.  A miss ends the scoring for the rack. For example, if a rack has 3 swingers, a 2 inch, 1.5 inch, and 3/4 inch swinger; the first shot is shot at the two inch target, if it scores a hit, the second shot will be at the 1.5 inch target, if it scores a miss, you are finished shooting the rack and score a 1 for the the rack (the one hit on the 2 inch swinger). 
• Rapid fire lane (reduced time limit) - One shot per target, unlimited shots, within the specified time limit, shoot until time runs out or all targets are down (you do not need to engage targets in a specified order).  The timer starts after the first shot leaves the barrel.  A stop watch will be available at the lane for the score keeper to keep time for the shooter.  The available time will typically be 3:00 minutes for a 6 shot lane, this should be sufficient time to make 6 shots while single loading.  The time requirement may change depending the scenario. 

Sitting / Free position

• Can use a seating aid or cushion, such as, a bucket, stool, pad, or bum bag. The seating aid cannot have a back or arm rests.
• You can use shooting sticks to support the front of the gun.
• The prone position is not allowed.
• The rear of the stock (any part behind the trigger) cannot be artificially supported, and cannot be directly supported by any part of the body below the chest (i.e. you cannot rest the rear of the stock on your leg). If supporting the rear of the gun with the hand, the supporting hand cannot be in contact with the ground.
• The butt of the stock must be in contact with the chest, shoulder, or upper arm.  If using a pistol, the gun does not need to be shouldered.
• No part of the gun shall be in contact with the ground.
• The recommended/encouraged shooting position is to shoot from a bucket/stool using shooting sticks.
• There is no guarantee you will be able to see the target from your preferred position.  If there is a barrier or piece of the environment that prevents you from seeing the target, it is your job as the shooter to make the appropriate adjustment to your position to engage the target. 

Standing

• The soles of both feet on the ground, standing, with only the soles of the feet in contact with the ground.
• The gun is to be shouldered, or in contact with the upper arm.
• Shooting sticks can be used to support the front of the gun.  Other forms of the environment can be used to support the gun, in place of using shooting sticks, as long as they are within the confines of the shooting lane (i.e. rested against a tree/post).

Time limits

• Timers may be used.
• For each lane, you will have 1 minute to address the lane and 30 seconds per shot. A lane with 6 shots will allow the shooter 4 minutes to make the shots. (6 x 30 secs, + 1 minute). 
• Different time restrictions may be in place depending on the lane's course of fire and scoring method.

Accommodated Division

This event is held on our competition range, which has a concrete shooting pad, so it is easily navigable.  We welcome shooters that need accommodations to participate and to shoot using a wheel chair, office chair, or chair with a back and/or arms.  You are still expected to shoot from shooting sticks that are not attached to the gun.  For standing position shots, you will be expected to shoot without your elbows touching the chair.  These rules are not meant to establish restrictions for all disabilities; we welcome anyone willing to shoot safely and we will consider additional accommodations, as needed, to allow you to compete in this event.
