1. Occupancy of Benches. No person shall sit at, stand at, or be within five feet of any bench during changes of targets until the Range Officer shall announce, "Competitors may take their places at their benches." Competitors are allowed on the firing line during their relay only.

 2. Open Actions. All actions shall be open until the command "Load and Lock" is given.

 3. Firing. No shot shall be fired until the command, "Commence Firing" has been given nor after the command "Cease Fire". (See Disqualifications.)

 4. Position of Muzzle. The muzzle of every rifle when in firing position shall be in front of the front edge of the bench upon which it rests.

 5. Emergency Commands. All competitors must obey at once the command "Cease Fire" and shall not fire again until the command "Resume Fire" is given. (In the event that conditions require a suspension of fire, two minutes will be added to the remaining time of the relay.) Two minutes will be added to the remaining time -- "but not exceed the original time limit of 7 minutes or 12 minutes."

 6. Sportsmanship. There shall be no boisterous conduct on the firing line during the firing of any event. A rifle range is no place for pranks, and any shooter failing to observe this fact may be disciplined by the Range Officer.

 7. Litter. Clubs expect shooters and campers to put litter in trash barrels.

 8. Bolts. All rifle bolts must be kept out of all rifles, except as the Range Officer commands. Bolts must be out of all rifles behind the line and in all loading and parking areas of the range.
