Tactical Sequence Each target must be engaged once prior to engaging a target a second time (even if initial shot is missed) (3.2.2) a. Tactical Sequence must be in Course of Fire description to be required If Tac Sequence is required per the CoF, a shooter cannot also be required to also shoot the targets in Tactical priority Cover A barrier/object that is used to conceal a portion of the shooter from a target being engaged (cover only applied to the target being engaged and around the edge being used) 1.

Shooter may perform a reload within a hallway or room (two or more sides) after all visible targets have been engaged. ( ) 3. Shooters are not allowed to fire the firearm while holding/touching a magazine, speed loader/moon clip, or loose ammunition (3.7) Unlimited vs Limited 1.
