Rules: This is a Manitoba Provincial Rifle Association event. Endorsement by the DCRA as the 2010 Western Canada Regional F Class Championship is pending. All DCRA F Class rules apply with exceptions as noted.


Targets: Targets used in this match will be the DCRA long range target with F Class centre. In the event of extreme wind conditions causing the LR targets to become unsafe for use, the matches will be shot at 600 yds using a DCRA 300m target with TR centre (resulting in a .5 MOA centre at 600 yds). The decision to move to the 600 yd firing point is at the sole discretion of the match director.


Empty Chamber Indicators (ECI): Safety is paramount! Rifles will have actions open, magazines removed, and an ECI inserted into the chamber at ALL times except - - when on the firing line during the preparation period or during live firing. ECIs will be available for purchase the range during in-person registration.


Preparation period and procedure for clearing the line: At no time is a competitor to leave the firing line with a loaded rifle! All competitors are responsible for safe rifles while on the firing line. At no time should a rifle be removed from position with out the competitor having first placed an ECI in the empty chamber of his/her rifle. This fact must be verified by the competitor’s scorekeeper and the Range Officer. The penalty for violating this rule is disqualification for both competitor and scorekeeper.

At the beginning of each relay competitors will be allowed a 3 minute preparation period. The ECI may be removed but no ammunition may be loaded at this time. Anyone who fires a shot during the preparation period will be scored a miss for the first record shot of that match. Anyone who fires a shot prior to the commencement of the preparation period or during any other non firing period will be disqualified from the competition.


Coaching: Coaching is not allowed during the competition. Coaching is permitted during the practice sessions on Thursday.


Target Service: Competitors will not be required to pull and mark targets. Marking staff services are included in the match fee.


Scoring: Competitors will score. Individuals failing to perform the required scoring duties may be disqualified. Standard DCRA scoring will be used.


Fouling Shots: Competitors will be permitted to take up to two non convertible sighting / fouling shots at the beginning of the first match on Friday morning. The shots must be declared as non convertible before taking them or they will be considered to be the two allowed convertible sighting shots. These shots are included in the time allotted for the relay. There will not be fouling shots on Saturday or Sunday.
