METAL TARGET CALIBRATION If a steel target has failed to fall and appears to be out of calibration, challenge it during the scoring. It will be checked and if recalibrated, a reshoot is required for that stage. If a popper has been shot down, it is asserted to be calibrated and will be scored as a miss. The calibration ammunition, as fired through each designated handgun, is chronographed to a power factor between 115.0 and 125.0. *If you are shooting ammo that does not meet factory power-factor your rounds will not knock down the large poppers!!

Shoulder holsters and cross draw holsters will not be allowed; your pistol must remain pointed downrange while drawing. Revolver shooters will need two speed loaders and pistol shooters will need a total of three magazines. Pistol magazines, regardless of capacity, will be loaded with no more than six (6) rounds at any time. Carriers for extra magazines or speed loaders will also be required. There are no restrictions to placement on duty gear; for those without duty gear - place mag pouches on or behind the hip. There are no restrictions for speed loaders. One-Hundred (100) rounds of duty type ammunition is the minimum amount required however, it is recommended that each shooter have enough extra ammunition for any unforeseen circumstances such as re-shoots. Appropriate eye and ear protection is required for shooters and spectators while in the pistol pits. Although not required, it is recommended that shooters bring items such as knee pads, a towel, weapon cleaning equipment and rain gear. SCORING The shooter s score will be scored and recorded as the shooter completes each stage. All scoring will be conducted by the ROs, whose decisions are final. At no time will any shooter or coach score their own or their teams targets. Targets will be scored as follows: The silhouette targets will have a -0-1 and -3 on respective scoring zones. Your time begins at the sound of the buzzer and your time stops with your last shot fired. Each penalty will be in seconds and added to your final time. For example, if you shoot your stage in 10.32 seconds but your targets have two -1 (down one) hits on one target and the other has one -0 (down zero) and one -3 (down three) you will have 1sec + 1 sec + 0sec + 3sec = 5seconds added to your time making your final score a 15.32 seconds. The person/team with the lowest time at the end of the match WINS! *Team scores will be determined by adding all team members total time together. Remember, the fastest time wins!!! Penalties shall be assessed as follows: Shooting a non-threat target = 10 seconds Missed shot on target = 5 seconds If you have to be stopped for safety counseling you will have to reshoot the stage and you will receive a 10 second penalty This will be a revolver vs production match; you will be shooting against others that are shooting the same platform. In the event of a tie between two or more shooters, the shooter with the fastest Bill Drill (draw and fire six rounds on one target) on that stage will be the winner.
