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.
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 stage.
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.
