RULES
MANUALLY OPERATED MECHANICAL SAFETY – Any rifle used in an NRA-ARC event must have a properly functioning, manually operated mechanical safety. Each shooter must keep the safety set to “Safe”, unless aiming at a target after the command to shoot has been given.
PROPERLY FUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT – Any rifle or related equipment that malfunctions in an unsafe manner, or that is otherwise deemed unsafe by range staff, shall be removed from the range. All firearms will be inspected before shooters enter the range for operation and safety.
TRIGGER DEVICES AND AUTOMATIC FIRING MODES – No shooter will be permitted to fire in an automatic mode or use any device that would assist in the pulling of the trigger.
SLINGS MANDATORY – Each shooter must use a sling that is affixed to the rifle with a secure attachment device or woven through a portion of the stock designed for that purpose. Any sling used must allow the shooter to keep the rifle pointed in a safe direction at all times.
MAGAZINES AND AMMUNITION – Shooters are encouraged to carry all magazines and ammunition in a pouch, chest rig, pocket, or similar device on their person for each stage of firing. Quality factory fresh ammunition only - no reloads. Multiple magazines are highly recommended.
BARREL SUPPORT DEVICES – Bipods and monopods are permitted as long as they are properly functioning.
KNEE AND ELBOW PADS – Competitors are encouraged to use knee and elbow pads to add comfort to the shooter for different positions and range conditions. Prone mats are acceptable for use unless they pose a safety issue.
CHANGING EQUIPMENT – No shooter may change rifle, barrel assembly, optical system, or sling after the first shot is fired, unless the NRA Chief Range Safety Officer or NRA Range Safety Officer has declared that the equipment is disabled.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT - All contestants, guest and spectators must wear eye and ear protection at all times except when Safety Officers officially call Cold Range.
SAFETY VIOLATIONS - Any violations of safety such as swiping yourself or another shooter, shooting over the berm etc will disqualify the shooter instantly, and the shooter will be removed from the range.
