RELOADING IN SUSTAINED FIRE: THE SHOOTER MUST RELOAD ONCE DURING THE 
10-SHOT STRING. M1 RIFLES SHOULD BE INITIALLY LOADED WITH 2 ROUNDS 
AND THEN RELOADED WITH A CLIP OF 8. OTHER RIFLES MAY BE RELOADED AS 
THE SHOOTER DESIRES-WITH MOST OTHER BOLT-ACTION RIFLES IT IS COMMON 
TO LOAD 5 AND RELOAD WITH  5 USING STRIPPER CLIPS. PRACTICE THIS 
BEFORE THE MATCH BUT NOT WITH LIVE AMMO.
			

ALIBIS AND EXCESSIVE HITS: NO ALIBIS OR REFIRES ARE ALLOWED... BE 
SURE YOUR RIFLE WILL FUNCTION AND THAT THE ROUNDS WILL CHAMBER AND 
FIRE. IF YOUR RIFLE MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILS TO FEED OR FIRE, YOU 
MUST CLEAR IT AND CONTINUE AS BEST YOU CAN. IF A ROUND FAILS TO 
FIRE YOU MAY IMMEDIATELY REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER ROUND. SHOTS FIRED
ON THE WRONG TARGET WILL BE SCORED AS MISSES. IF A TARGET RECEIVES 
MORE SHOTS THAN WERE FIRED AT THAT TARGET AND AND THE FIRER CANNOT 
BE DETERMINED BY CALIBER OR OTHER MEANS THE TARGET RECEIVING THE 
EXCESSIVE HITS WILL BE GIVEN THE SHOTS OF HIGHER VALUE EQUAL TO 
THE NUMBER OF SHOTS ACTUALLY FIRED. ROUNDS FIRED IN EXCESS OF THE 
REQUIRED NUMBER WILL BE SCORED AS MISSES.

SAFETY: ALL RIFLES WILL HAVE THE BOLTS OPEN OR REMOVED BEHIND THE 
FIRING LINE. THE USE OF OPEN-BOLT INDICATORS IS ENCOURAGED AND 
WILL BE AVAILABLE AT THE MATCH. NO RIFLE WILL BE LOADED BEHIND 
THE FIRING LINE. NO ONE WILL LOAD ON THE FIRING LINE UNTIL THE 
COMMAND "LOAD" HAS BEEN GIVEN. BOLTS WILL BE CLOSED ONLY WHEN 
THE RIFLE IS POINTED IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE TARGET.

TARGET OPERATORS. BE SURE TO BRING EYE AND EAR PROTECTION TO THE
