Targets

• Will be placed between 15 and 115 yards.

• A mixture of kill zone (KZ) style targets and knockdown style targets will be used.
• KZ targets may have an irregular shaped kill zone.
• 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.
• There will be no challenging of targets.
• There is no guarantee targets will be placed in such a way it can be shot from your preferred shooting position.
• In most cases you will get two shots per target, but there may be cases when you will be required to shoot one-shot per target. Any deviation from the two shot per target format will be noted during the shooter's meeting.

Shooting Positions

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.
• 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.

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).

Time limits

• Timers will 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)

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.
