Scoring

Your time is your score. Each of five targets must be hit during each string of fire and a designated impact stop plate will be hit last to stop the time. 

The best four out of five runs will be counted as the total score for each stage, except for Outer Limits, which will be the best three out of four runs. 

The maximum time allowed for each individual run is 30 seconds. 

Any hits made after the maximum time allowance(30 Sec) will not be counted. 

All primary targets hit after the stop plate has been struck, will be scored with a 3 second penalty each. 

The competitor will be stopped and asked to reload if they reach the 30 second limit. 

Three (3) second procedural penalties will be given for: Creeping, movement or jumping before the start signal, foot faults, shooting at the wrong targets from the designated boxes, and incorrect or non movement.

NOTE:  PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE AT LEAST 3 MAGAZINES, 5 IS IDEAL TO FACILITATE RELOADS BETWEEN RELAYS  WITHOUT EXTRA DELAY.

START POSITION: Hands are to be held in the “Surrender Position”, which is shoulder high, with the wrists and full hands visible from behind. GUN IN HOLSTER (  EXCEPT RIMFIRE  STARTS AT LOW READY)

 

Movement

USPSA rules will apply for shots fired while moving into the second shooting box in Outer Limits.

If the contestant fires and leaves Box A and then realizes they missed and/or hit the targets out of sequence and returns to Box A and continues to shoot, there will be no procedural penalty (Keep the muzzle down range while returning to Box A). 

Any target(s) struck in the incorrect order (A vs. B) WILL be judged as a miss. 

If any shots are fired after having begun to move forward out of the box, there WILL be a procedural penalty. (For ease of judging, both feet must be touching down while firing in  Weak Side Box in Outer Limits.)

 Upon reaching Box B, the contestant may begin to fire when one foot is in the box and the trailing foot is either in the box or in the air. Remember, if targets are engaged out of order without corrective shots being taken, there will be a procedural penalty, plus a miss scored on each target struck out of turn.

Penalties

Three second penalties will be given for procedural violations, premature starts, creeping, missed targets and foot faults where applicable.
