BY-LAWS AND RANGE REGULATIONS (Continued)
 
17.  During the act of loading it is the duty of the shooter to see that his firearm is kept pointing towards the targets. No firearm must be taken from the firing point until it has been examined by the Range Officer, or someone authorised by him.
18. No person shall point a rifle, loaded or unloaded, at any person or in any direction other than at the targets. No firing shall take place except on the Firing Point.
19.  In the case of a misfire, members are cautioned that it is necessary to keep the firearm pointed towards the targets for at least thirty (30) seconds. It is unsafe to open the breech during this period.
20.  The Council shall have the sole power of classifying members for any competition, of forming conditions for any competition or match under its control, and generally shall have sole control in all matters connected with shooting on the Range. Members shall be classified into classes as laid down by the National Rifle Association, the National Small-bore Rifle Association, the International Shooting Union and the International Practical Shooting Confederation.
21. In Pistol Shooting, disqualification from the match will be invoked in the event of unsafe gun handling.

Examples of unsafe gun handling are:

i. If at any time during the course of fire, even during a fall or during loading or inloading or during remedial action of a
malfunction, a competitor allows his muzzle to point rearward, that is further than 90 degrees from the median intercept of the backstop.

ii. If any time during the course of fire or while loading or unloading, a competitor drops his handgun or causes it to fall, loaded or not.

iii. Any competitor found to have a loaded handgun, except when specifically so ordered by the Range Officer, will be disqualified and required to leave the Range. Firearms shall be loaded only on the firing line and when so directed by the Range Officer. After shooting no competitor may move from his firing position until so directed by the Range Officer who has supervised the unloading and holstering.

iv. The handling of firearms on the range premises when the competitor is not on the firing line or in the designated safety area, or where prior permission of the Range Officer has not been given.

v. A competitor with a loaded, cocked and holstered selective action/double action with the safety not applied, or a loaded, cocked revolver.

22.  The Range Officer shall have complete authority over all persons on the range. Safety on the range will be his prime concern and his orders will be obeyed. Failure to obey his instructions may lead to banishment from the range and/or disqualification from the shoot.
23.  For pistol shooting a designated primary safety area shall be assigned to allow practice draws, dry firing, etc. Under no circumstances shall ammunition be allowed in the primary safety area.
24.  For pistol shooting a designated secondary safety area shall be assigned for holstering and casing only (magazine loading).
25. In the opinion of the Range Officer, any person under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be disqualified and required to leave the range.
26. All members who desire to participate in Practical Pistol Shooting must take the IPSC Black Badge course, which qualifies members in the discipline of Practical Pistol Shooting. This course teaches a combination of safety and proficiency with handguns as related to the Practical Pistol discipline.

This course shall be conducted by the Association for such fee and for such approved members as directed by Council.
