violations. Any release of the propelling charge, after the first competition
target is in place, without the pellet hitting the target, whether a pellet has
been loaded or not, will be scored as a miss. Dry firing without release of the propelling charge is permitted except during Finals. If a shooter wishes to change their gas or air cylinder they must leave the firing point to do so (permission must be obtained). Extra time. If a shooter must stop firing for more than three (3) minutes through no fault of their own, they may demand extra time equal to the amount of time lost or the time remaining plus one (1) minute, if during the last few minutes of the competition. No extra time will be allowed to compensate for time lost by a shooter who leaves the firing point to change or to fill their gas or air cylinder (permission must be obtained). See also above.If a shooter is interrupted for more than five (5) minutes, or moved to another firing point, they may have additional unlimited sighting shots at one sighting target at the beginning of their remaining shooting time together with any time extensions granted. RO: Range Officer will run competition, and may also compete. Under normal circumstance RO will be Airgun Captain, or someone nominated by AC. Purpose: Acquaints shooters with competition conditions.
