RANGE RULES
-
NMLRA rules apply except where amended
within this schedule.
-
Each competitor is fully responsible for
her/his own targets following registration. She/he will post and pull their
own targets and turn them in to a range officer at the end of each relay.
-
All verifications by Range Officers must be
signed by a range officer before the target is removed from the target
frame.
-
You may shoot any target(s) in any relay.
-
Practice targets may be posted based on
range availability and at the discretion of the range officer.
-
All rifle, pistol, and bench rest relays
have a 30 minute time limit. All targets must be pulled at the end of each
relay. Exception: Trade gun targets may be shot over two relays if
desired.
-
No firearms may be loaded and primed or
capped until the range officer declares the line as “hot”. Firearms must be
primed or capped at the firing position, not at the loading bench. No
firearms may be handled while the line is “cold” or during a cease fire,
except to remove a firearm from or stage a firearm at the loading bench.
-
All shooting will cease at the command of
“cease fire”. Any firearms still loaded will be discharged into the ground
between the firing line and the 25 yard line in a manner that is evident to
the range officer that the shooter is not pointing the firearm in the
direction of a target.
-
Ammunition will be patched round ball only
propelled by black powder or an approved substitute (such as Pyrodex).
-
All sights in all rifle, pistol, and bench
rest matches and aggs must be open sights as defined by NMLRA rules.
Shaders are permitted. Exception: Any metallic sights may be used in the
benchrest agg.
-
All shooting, except bench rest aggs and
sub-Junior aggs, will be performed offhand – standing on both feet with no
other portion of the body touching the ground or any other supporting
surface. Rifles and shotguns will be supported by both hands with the butt
contacting the shoulder. Pistols shall be supported by one hand only.
-
For malfunctions, notify the range officer
for verification.
-
Shots on the wrong target will be awarded
the shooter with the score minus one point. The target owner will not be
penalized. This must be confirmed by the range officer before the target
is pulled from the target stand.
-
All bench rest matches will be shot from
positions 8 through 17. These positions may be used by other shooters when
not in use for a bench rest agg or sub-Junior agg.
-
Shooting spots may be held overnight, but if
the firing line is full the next morning and the shooter is not present, the
spot will be relinquished by the range officer to another competitor.
-
No smoking within 10 feet of the
firing line. Please pay attention to marked areas.
-
No consumption of intoxicating beverages at
the firing line or while shooting.
-
Any shooter may shoot in a higher
classification. Example: sub-Junior may shoot in Junior or adult aggs.
Junior may shoot in adult aggs.
-
A junior is a shooter who has not reached
her/his 17th birthday. A sub-Junior is a shooter who has not
reached her/his 12th birthday. Anybody older than Charlie
Caywood is ancient.
-
Trade gun targets require five (5) shots to
be fired at each critter. There are two critters per target sheet so
shooters will fire 10 shots per target sheet. A trade gun target with two
critters may be posted and fired over two relays. Trade guns may be sighted
or unsighted, in accordance with current NMLRA rules. Trade guns must be
20ga/62caliber or less.
-
Trap shooters must have their competitor on
the back of their shirt or hat and visible to the range officers at the trap
match.
-
Range officers will be identified by orange
caps.
Keep your flints sharp and your powder dry.
