Match Proceedure:

The   match   consists   of   multiple   “stages”,   each   with an    array    of    steel    targets    and    a    “scenario”    that directs the shooter how to engage the targets. The    shooter    will    fire    under    the    supervision    of    a Range Officer. Three     non-shooter     competitors     will     serve     as “counters”,     tasked     with     counting     misses     and identifying penalties. The shooter’s score will be time plus any penalties. Match   will   consist   of   3   physical   stages.   Each   stage will be shot twice, for a total of six scored stages. Stages will require 18 rounds each. All shots are double action. Guns   will   be   brought   to   firing   position   empt,   with the   cylinder   open   and   a   chamber   flag   inserted   in the cylinder end of the barrel. Loading will be done under supervision of the R/O. After    firing,    guns    will    be    cleared    at    the    firing position and checked by R/O. Guns     are     removed     from     firing     line     in     same condition as brought to firing line.
