Additional Items:
ANY sights / Scope category – The typical rifles for HP competition use iron sights, but there is also provision for shooters who want to use a scope sight. If you (or someone you know) would like to shoot in our matches with a scope sight, that would be fine. Matches shot in the 'any sights' category will be separate for end-of-season prizes. Similarly, if someone would like to try using a rifle that is not typical for HP competition, that would be ok too. Restrictions include: maximum of 35 caliber, and no ‘muzzle brake’ – due to noise disruption to other shooters.
For Rapid Fire stages – All shooters start from the shooting position for that stage with rifles unloaded. The RELOAD must be done with the rifle completely unloaded.
For loading of the FIRST 2 or 5 rounds - M1 Garand: prior to 'commence fire' M1 Garand shooters may place a clip and 2 rounds in the receiver, 'ready to be loaded' - but with the bolt remaining locked fully open. After 'commence fire' Garand shooters will fully load the first 2 rounds and shoot. All other rifles: prior to 'commence fire' the rifle must be completely unloaded. Ammo in a clip or magazine is to be placed on the ground or on a shooting stool. After 'commence fire' the shooter will load the clip or magazine and shoot.
