ngTHESE POLICIES ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE RULES. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE CONTENTS OF THIS MATCH PUBLICATION. QUES-TIONS WILL BE ANSWERED AT THE SHOOTER’S MEET-ING.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 deemed 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 imme-diately 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 Shoot-ing Handbook, Current Edition.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 hear STOP!, FREEZE!, or a similar command, STOP with the gun muzzle pointing safely down range, finger outside the trigger guard, safety on, and await further instructions.SET STEEL & TAPE TARGETS…Competitors are expected to stay together as a squad, and if requested, 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 con-sumed 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 (excluding active duty military), 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…Competitors must compete for score according to the pub-lished match and squadding schedule. A competitor who is not present at the scheduled time and date for any stage may not attempt that stage without the prior approval of the Match Director, failing which the competitor’s score for that stage will be zero. (6.5.1). 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 at the scheduled time, a brief stage walk-through will be given, followed by a five-minute inspection and question period. Shooters at their scheduled stage 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 of a stage is permitted by competitors only if a squad is not currently on the course of fire or getting ready to begin it. Do not operate any of the moving targets or props that activate such movers. If the RO staff is pres-ent on a stage, please extend to them the professional courtesy of asking before inspecting the course of fire.TIME TO SHOOT…The range is closed to all regular competitors prior to the scheduled match opening April 11th, 2014, and daily after 7:00 p.m. (Friday All-Day competitors who check in Thursday afternoon may inspect the stages at that time.) No shooting will commence before 8:00 a.m. by local law. 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. If you show up without your gun or gear when your name is called, your score sheet goes to the bottom of the pile.HAZARD AREAS…Safety flagging will identify 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 safety and sportsmanship rules anywhere on the South River Gun Club facility will result in match disqualification. This applies to fun shoots, vendor tent, function fire and sight-in 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 re-tested, 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 recorded as scoring minor if you declared major, or zero if you declared minor or are shooting Production.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 non-scoring border will score according to the circumstance. “Unless specifically described as ‘soft cover’ in the written stage briefing, all props, walls, barriers, vision screens and other obstacles are deemed to be impenetrable ‘hard cover’.” (9.1.6).TARGETS…Cardboard IPSC targets, Cardboard “Classic” targets, Pepper Pop-pers, US Poppers, and plates of various styles and sizes are used in this match. No-shoot targets are white.METAL TARGET CALIBRATION…If a steel target has failed to fall and ap-pears 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 asserted to be calibrated. The calibration ammunition, as fired through each designated handgun, is chronographed to a power factor between 115.0 and 125.0.HANDICAPPED SHOOTERS…Competitors may request a penalty in lieu of the stated course requirements by reason of incapacity of previous injury. This must be requested prior to shooting the stage. The Range Master or the CRO only will accept any such requests and the RM will make the decision as to what penalty will apply.MATCH SCORING…The match will use the USPSA Scoring Program EzWin-Score, latest version, for official match results. PractiScore will be used for elec-tronic collection of competitor scores. After the competitor has completed a stage, a written summary of the score will be provided. This will be the official score card, and will be dated and signed by the competitor and the range officer. Competitor classifications will be updated prior to commencement of the match with the latest available downloadable data from the USPSA website. The match datacenter is closed to all competitors. Match results will be posted at various times during the match and after the match is concluded. Competitors with smart phones and similar devices may connect to the wifi network “Area6open” and sync a copy of the scores for their own personal use. Final official results will be posted to the uspsa.org website, and to the practiscore.com website.If there are scoring questions, first check your math, including power factor. If there is still a scoring question, take your score card copy to Shooter Services.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. Please read and comply with the provisions of Chapter 11 in the USPSA Handgun rulebook before filing.COMPETITOR AGREEMENT… By competing in this event, you attest that you have read, you understand and you agree to comply with the match rules and regulations.DRAWINGS & DIMENSIONS…Drawings and dimensions shown in this book-let 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…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 the vendor area. Please check regular-ly.

RANGE FACILITIESRest Rooms…Portable toilets are located conveniently around the range.Food Service…Lunch, snacks, and beverages are available on the range during match hours. Lunch will primarily be served at the pavilion on the range. There will be two “shifts” for lunch on Friday, Saturday and again on Sunday.

GUN HANDLING IN THE PARKING AREA IS PROHIBITED. Safety areas will be available in the parking lot to bag and unbag guns.Spectators…Everyone must wear eye and ear protection while on the range.
