5 Match Briefing THESE POLICIES ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE RULES. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE CONTENTS OF THIS MATCH PUBLICATION. QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED AT THE SHOOTER S MEETING. COLD RANGE South River Gun Club is a cold range. Firearms will not be handled anywhere on the range except in designated safety areas or under the direct supervision of a certified staff Range Officer. Handling firearms in parking areas is unsafe gun handling. SAFETY AREAS Safety areas are located around the range to unbag and holster or unholster and bag guns, and also for dry fire practice and gun repair, etc. No ammunition may be handled in any safe area. Safety areas will have a generous foot-fault box immediately behind the table area. If you are standing in the box (even partially), you are considered to be in the safety area. RULES The match rules are found in the USPSA Practical Shooting Handbook, 14 th Edition 2001, as updated. OBEY YOUR R.O. S Range Officers are here to assist you in completing a safe shooting contest. If there are indications that you are becoming unsafe, attempts will be made to warn you. If your gun handling has become unsafe, you will be stopped. When you STOP!, FREEZE!, or a similar command, STOP with the gun muzzle pointing safely down range, finger outside the trigger guard, safety on, and away further instructions. SET STEEL & TAPE TARGETS Competitors are expected to stay together as a squad to tape, set steel, and help maintain efficiency on each stage. LOST BRASS As a matter of efficiency, all brass collected from the South River Gun Club range is deposited in the designated range pail. Brass is distributed to the range officers at the conclusion of the match in consideration for their hard work. ALCOHOL Alcohol and recreational drugs may not be consumed anywhere on the range. Competitors violating this policy will be disqualified and asked to leave the range. DRESS CODE Practical shooting is a sport. No camouflage outfits, controversial slogans or other items of dubious taste are to be displayed or worn. The Match Director will be the final arbiter of dubious taste. SCHEDULING No competitor will compete for score on other than the scheduled dates (6.6.1) without prior approval from the Match Director. Occasionally, stages will clear squads early. If your entire squad is available and the CRO approves, the squad will be allowed to shoot ahead of schedule only on the scheduled date. INSPECTION When the entire squad is assembled, a brief stage walk-through will be given, followed by a five-minute inspection and question period. Shooters may negotiate obstacles only during the five-minute inspection period. The on-deck competitor only may additionally negotiate obstacles while the previous competitor s targets are being scored. Early inspection is permitted by the squad next scheduled to shoot a stage,

6 providing that the previous squad is finished, and you turn in your score sheets to the Range Officer prior to inspection, and only if time permits. TIME TO SHOOT The range is closed to all regular competitors prior to the scheduled opening October 20 th, 2001, and daily at 6:30 p.m. When called to the line, competitors are expected to load and make ready quickly. Shooters not ready within a half-minute prep time may be asked to move aside for the next competitor. HAZARD AREAS Orange cones or other safety flagging may be present to restrict areas beyond which competitors and spectators are prohibited for safety reasons. EYE & EAR PROTECTION All competitors must wear eye and ear protection while on the line. Eye protection is required to be worn by everyone while on the range. D.Q. POLICY Violation of Rules 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, anywhere on the South River Gun Club facility will result in match disqualification. This applies to any fun shoots and sign-in or vendor areas as well as the match stages. CHRONOGRAPH The chronograph is scheduled like a regular stage. Report to the chronograph with the rest of your squad as indicated in the squadding schedule. Expect ammunition to be tested at least twice, once when you report to the chronograph, and once by random sampling. If you are randomly selected to be retested, you must report to the chronograph the same day. Ammunition must make declared power factor at all times during the match. If you fail to report to the chronograph for the scheduled test or after a random sampling, your scores will all be records as scoring minor. At the chronograph station, do not handle your gun until instructed by the CRO. You will be directed to place your unloaded gun on the shooting bench, slide locked back (if possible), muzzle pointed down range. The CRO may require that several rounds supplied by you be fired into the berm under his direction before actual chronographing begins. Once the CRO begins chronographing your ammo, you may not add, adjust, or alter anything on your gun until after chronographing is finished. If the chronographer notices your gun does not meet safety criteria (inoperable safety, double, etc.), the Range Master will be called and you will not be permitted to continue in the match until the gun is rechecked and proven safe. IMPENETRABLE All targets, no-shoots, vision barriers, and hard cover zones are impenetrable to a full bullet diameter. Bullets holes that are partially or fully in the nonscoring border will score according to the circumstance. All walls are considered hard cover unless otherwise noted. FAULT LINES No part of a competitor s body may touch the ground on the far side of a fault line or outside a shooting box while shooting. ( , ) TARGETS Cardboard IPSC targets, Pepper Poppers, US Poppers, and plates are used in this match. No-shoot targets are white. METAL TARGET CALIBRATION If a popper has failed to fall and appears to be out of calibration, challenge it during the scoring. It will be checked and if re-calibrated, a reshoot is required for that stage. If a popper has been shot down, it is assumed to be calibrated. Poppers are calibrated with 9mm Parabellum loads chronographed to a power factor between 120 and 135 through the test gun.

7 HANDICAPPED SHOOTERS Competitors may request a penalty in lieu of the stated course requirement by reason of incapacity of previous injury per Rule US This must be requested prior to shooting the stage. The Range Master or the CRO only will accept any such requests. MATCH SCORING The Georgia State Championship will use the USPSA Scoring Program EzWinScore, latest version. Competitor classifications will be updated prior to commencement of the match with the latest available downloadable data from the USPSA EzWinScore Support Page website. The match scoring room is closed to all persons except R.O. s and other match personnel (US 10.4). Match results will be posted at various times during the match and after the match is concluded. Final results will be posted to the USPSA Web Site and to the GeorgiaIPSC.com web site. Competitors who desire that paper match results be mailed to them must sign up for them. A sign-up sheet will be available in the same area at which results are posted. ARBITRATION Arbitrations are initiated with the presentation of a $100 cash fee and the completed arbitration form delivered to the Match Director or Range Master within one hour of the incident. Forms are available at each stage or from Shooter Services. Appeals will not be accepted after the one-hour filing time has lapsed. DRAWINGS & DIMENSIONS Drawings and dimensions shown in this booklet are approximate and may change due to safety or production considerations. There may be additional no-shoots, vision barriers, or other changes. Inspect each stage carefully and listen to the squad briefing. SHOOTER SERVICES The Shooter Services Director will be on the range to help with any administrative matters, resolve scoring errors, arbitration assistance, lost and found, etc. BULLETIN BOARD Current scores, arbitration committee decisions, lost items, schedule changes, and other official information will be posted near Shooter Services and/or underneath the main pavilion in front of Bay 9. Please check regularly. HOLSTER TEST Be prepared to have your holster tested at any of the stages prior to the LOAD AND MAKE READY range command. Once the test is completed, you may not adjust any part of your holster or retention devices. Example: If retaining device is necessary to hold the gun in the holster while a test is conducted, it must be in the same position after the load and make ready command.
