All ammunition must be carried on the competitor’s person, either in a pocket or pouch. (i.e. belt loops, magazine pouches, etc. cannot be used). A pocket can be a pouch attached to a belt – as long as it’s of loose fabric, a hand can physically fit inside and ammunition is loose within the pouch, it is acceptable.

There should be no artificial inserts, sleeves, holders or stiffeners or any type of device that holds magazines inside or attached to the competitor’s ammunition pockets.

Magazines, Speedloaders and Moon-clips

A maximum of two pistol magazines may be carried on the competitor during the event. A maximum of one speedloader may be carried on the competitor during the event. As many moon-clips as wanted may be carried on the competitor during the event. Apart from at the start of the match where practice 1 requires a timed reload (therefore an additional loaded speedloader, magazine or moon-clip is required) only one active magazine may be in use (with no more than 5 rounds) at any time.

Equipment

A holster must be used. The competitor may not use any form of timing device

Start position

Start position is the surrender position - hands held high either side of and at the level of the shooter’s head - or touching the shooter’s head. Between stages the clock will be stopped when the shooter’s pistol or revolver is holstered and hands returned to the surrender position.

Reloading

After the initial order to load, all further loading must be with rounds taken from the competitor’s person. It is the competitor’s responsibility to have sufficient ammunition in their possession to complete the match or event. A dropped round, magazine, moon clip or speedloader may not be retrieved. After each practice is completed, the timer will not be stopped until the competitor has reloaded with five rounds and holstered the gun with the hammer down on an empty chamber.

The exceptions are after Practice 1 and Practice 6. The competitor must not reload, but instead must holster an empty firearm. The RO will clear the firearm after the timer has been stopped

Scoring

The target will be scored at the end of Practice 1 and at the end of Practice 6 but not at the end of Practices 2-5
