** HANDGUN Set-up FOR 2010: Semi-automatic pistols will be loaded with at least two, and no more than four rounds, including one chambered round. Revolvers will be loaded with six rounds only. **
Course of Fire: Two shooters will start at the firing line facing away from the targets, hands held in front of the body in the "interview", or similar position, handguns holstered. Prior to the start command, the range officer will reveal a small steel popper plate painted to correspond with one of the painted targets. At the start command, each shooter will turn and knock over a small steel popper target with their shooting hand. The shooter may then draw and engage the target painted the same color as the painted popper target revealed by the range officer. The remaining plates may then be engaged in any order. ** For semi-automatic pistols, reloading may only take place upon the slide locking back after the firing all rounds in the firearm. For revolvers, reloads will take place only after firing all six shots. all reloads must come from a carrier on the shooter’s belt.** The cross-over stop target may only be engaged after all plates have been successfully engaged. The first shooter to successfully engage all targets is the winner of the stage. The course of fire will be repeated with the first shooter to win two stages advancing. Competitors will receive credit for any target that falls down and bounces back up. Failure to knock over the small steel popper target on the table with the shooting hand prior to drawing the firearm will result in a default of that string of fire. Failure to engage the correct first target will result in default of that string of fire. Failure to perform a slide-lock reload will result in default of that string of fire.
