Rapid-Fire Competition Rules
\end{center}

\section{Safety}
All shooters are instructed to observe safe practise.
Ensure your ammunition is secure before beginning the course
of fire. Use an ammunition holder/block to do this. If you do
not have one, one will be provided. 

\section{Targets}

The target card will have three bulls aligned vertically as
per the standard 100yard targets. The top card is for
sighters, the bottom two for competition shots.

\section{Course of Fire}

There will be a five-minute preparation period during which
competitors will get into position and DURC officals will
setup/change target cards.

There will then follow a three-minute sighting period during
which an unlimited number of sighting shots may be put in the
top bull on the target card. At the end of this period,
shooters should be ready to commence, with their ammunition
arranged where it may be loaded rapidly and safely.

The Range Officer will ensure the firing line is ready, with
all bolts/actions open and all breeches empty. The shooter
may have the first round between his/her fingers if they so
wish. The shooter \textbf{MUST} use an ammunition holder -
rounds may not be laid on the mat as a safety precaution.
During the detail, loading will be rapid and loose rounds
will not be safe. 

The Range Officer will then give the command
\textit{``Commence''}. Shooters will then have 90 seconds to
put ten shots into the target card, five in the middle bull
and five in the bottom bull. The Range Officer will give
verbal warnings at 45 seconds elapsed, at twenty seconds to
go, and a countdown from five seconds remaining. The Range
Officer will then give the command \textit{``Stop, cease
fire''}. Any shooter who fires after this point is to be
disqualified immediately. Should a shooter have a live round
in the breech and the action/bolt closed, he should indicate
so to the Range Officer who will observe the shooter fire the
round into the backstop. 

Shooters are not to break position until the Range Officer
declares the line safe. The Range Officer will do so when all
bolts/actions are opened and all breeched clear.

\section{Competition arrangements}

Ten shooters will shoot per detail. There will be no final.
A tie for first, second or third place will be decided on by
a shoot-off following the same course of fire. Any ties below
third place will be broken by comparing first the number of
tens in the shooter's card, then the number of nines and so
forth. Any remaining ties will not be broken.

\section{Scoring}

Scoring will be as per normal 50m cards, with the exception
that a shot in the wrong bull on the shooters card will
result in a deduction of one point from his overall score and
he will lose any tie he/she places in by default unless the
other shooters in that tie have also put a shot in the wrong
bull.

Crossfires will result in the cross-firing shooter receiving
the lowest score on the bull he cross-fired into. Where
multiple cross-fires occour, the judgement of the Committee
will decide the outcome.
