RANGE HANDICAP ACCESS POLICY FOR MATCHES WMA members displaying a valid CT handicap tag in their windshield will be allowed access to the shooting stations up to 10 minutes prior to the start of a match to set up equipment necessary to participate in that match. The vehicle MUST then leave the range and returned to the parking lot and park in a designated WMA handicap parking spot. The vehicle will remain in the parking area until completion of the match and the match director announces the match is complete at which time the handicapped member will be allowed to drive their vehicle back to the shooting station to retrieve their equipment. Vehicles are restricted down range (forward of the shooting berm) at any time at matches except for the match director s vehicle (or other designated vehicle) for the purpose of setting up prior to the match. Any activities conducted down range of the shooting stations after the start of a match and under all circumstances (i.e. set up and retrieval of targets) will be conducted by the handicapped member, match director or other match participants only by walking down range under cease fire and safe conditions. EMPTY CHAMBER INDICATORS (ECI) In an effort to align our club with NRA match rules, the club will institute the use of empty chamber indicators (ECI) as required in NRA matches. The ECI must be of a highly visible color such as yellow or orange, and must extend far enough into the chamber of the weapon to ensure the absence of a cartridge in the chamber once the ECI has been inserted. The flag portion of the ECI must extend far enough from the open action so that it is readily visible to the line staff and other competitors. Each competitor is responsible for meeting this requirement.
MATCH PROCEDURE QUALIFIERS All scheduled matches must have at least five (5) participants. In the event that this criteria isn t achieved, and this is a one event match, it will be cancelled. The chair and co-chair will be awarded thirty (30) points for appearing and attendees may shoot a fun match and receive five (5) points each. This event will not count towards the club champ. If the event is a multi-match (best of or averages into total, etc.), this may count for a supervised make-up and participants scores will be counted into the factoring of the event and club champ. In the event of inclement weather or low attendance, the match chair/co-chair must remain 30 minutes past the starting time of the match, before it is postponed or cancelled. It is the Shooters responsibility to inform the Line Officer of any equipment malfunctions, stoppages or requested changes to the course of fire for an individual Match. Failure to do so can result in the Shooter being removed from the Match. Classifications: If there are less than 12 shooters, there will only be a first, second, & third place.
