1. The SR-1 highpower rifle target (200 yard SR target
reduced for firing at 100 yards) is used for all stages of fire; all
firing is done at 100 yards.
2. In all slow fire stages with the M1 Carbine, competitors may load from
a magazine. No more than five rounds may be loaded in a single magazine.
If the Carbine is taken down from the shoulder between shots, care must be
taken to keep the muzzle pointed downrange while resting with a loaded
rifle.
3. Sighting shots may be fired in prone or any safe position. A rest or
support may be used for sighters, but not in any other position.
4. Competitors may fire a maximum of 10 sighting or practice shots.
Competitors may elect to fire fewer than 10 sighting shots.
5. Loading in rapid fire stages is done after competitors stand on their
firing points. On the command “LOAD,” competitors must close the bolts
with the chamber remaining empty and then insert a magazine with five
rounds. Competitors may not load a round in the chamber while standing.
6. After competitors have closed their bolts and inserted magazines, the
command "TARGETS UP" is given. After this command,
competitors may get into the prone or sitting/kneeling position. After
they are in the firing position, they must open and close their bolts to
load the first round, fire five shots, remove the empty magazine, load the
second magazine with five rounds and fire the second five shots.
7. Since starting with five rounds in a magazine is permitted in slow fire
series with the M1 Carbine, special care must be taken to control the
muzzle when the Carbine is taken down to rest between shots. While doing
this, the Carbine should normally be cradled in the arms with the muzzle
directed downrange towards the targets.
