Annual event since 1980
Note: A competitor may enter only two of the three handgun
classes.
Note: This does not apply to youth
shooters,
see below.
Handgun: freestyle – any safe position, no part of the gun shall touch the ground or ground cover and the gun shall be held in such a manner that the range officer can see that the gun is safely clear of the ground at all times when in the firing position.
Handicapped competitors may fire from a wheelchair with gun or both elbows supported or with braced crutches or with the support of a chair or stool replacing the leg.
Standing shooters may use a one or two
hand hold.
Each shooter may have a coach or spotter to spot bullet impact. Coaches may use binoculars or telescopes and advise the shooter, but may not assist in any other fashion.
Maximum time allowed to fire each target set is 2 minutes 30 seconds for rifle and 2 minutes for handgun. Shots fired after “cease fire” is called will not count.
Silhouettes within the target set must be shot in order, from left to right, one shot per silhouette. No points awarded for hits out of sequence.
Each silhouette must be knocked down or off its stand to score a hit. Hits are scored with and “X” and missed shots with an “O” on the score card provided to each shooter.
When called to the line, all competitors will place their weapons in
the rack or on the ground cover until the command “Load” is
given.
No firing until the command “Fire” is given.
SAFETY GLASSES ARE REQUIRED
All actions must be open and safe at all times except on the firing line after the “Load” command has been given.
We ask you as a courtesy to the folks actually on the firing line and for safety on the range, please do not engage in loud conversation or make distractions.
Guns will be pointed down range at all times.
Guns will only be handled on the firing line under supervision by the Range Master.
Range Master, Match Director are used interchangeably meant to mean a Carlisle Fish and Game official in charge of conducting of the match.
THINK SAFETY AT ALL TIMES.
The League is intended to be a low key, fun type of competition
among
shooters of various skill levels. Therefore, end of the year
awards
will be presented based on the Lewis Classification in classes A, B and
C (subject to change based on the number of competitors). At the
end of the scheduled competition, the five highest relays fired by each
competitor will be used in determining the individual’s League
standing.
Using total ram count will break ties. Competition is open to
everyone
whether or not they are members of the Carlisle Fish and Game
Association.
Our interest is in you having fun.
Youth shooters will not be allowed to shoot without a parent or guardian physically with them on each shooting stage. The parent or guardian acts as a spotter, coach, hands on assistant, and as an “on the spot safety officer”. The “on the spot safety officer” is expected to take hands on control of the weapon if any safety infraction is occurring. It is strongly recommended that youth shooters and their parent/guardian attend the NRA sponsor “Shooting Safety Course” given various times throughout the year at CF&G.
Youth shooters may shoot standing with a sling, prone position with no other support than a sling, kneeling, sitting, or depending on their age, from the shooting bench with only a CF&G provided rifle rest.
Every youth is in a different stage of physical development, therefore, the match director will determine whether the youth shooter is placed in the adult group. The prone position and shooting bench position is up to the shooter if they are not placed in the adult or standing with sling.
Each youth should not shoot more than one year in their previous years shooting category, i.e., bench shooting this year means they should try a different position next year, but the shooters degree of confidence should be the determining factor. This is a fun league meant to encourage shooting. Standing with sling for the youth shooter should not exceed three years with the pistol shooters. Regardless of the youth shooter, unless they are female (see Women Shooters, below), at age 16 they must shoot with the regular rifle shooters and use the regular rifle shooters rules.
WOMEN SHOOTERS
Not meant to patronize, humiliate or cause any mental anguish, adult lady shooters may use the rules listed below. This is a fun league, not meant to discourage future shooters.
Women rifle shooters, may, at their choice, shoot with the youths and use youth rules until they become proficient enough to shoot with the regular 1st and 3rd Wednesday’s. Proficient being defined as an agreement between the match director and shooters ability and comfort at being moved up to the regular adult rifle nights. They will, of course, use the adult rules when they move up but be placed in a different category for trophies.
Lady shooters may continue to use slings as
their
only support.
