Stage Inspection – You may inspect the stages when the range is open, but you may not activate, set, or reset any moving targets or activated props. Please respect the match schedule. If you would like to inspect a stage during the match, and a squad is currently not shooting the stage, please ask the RO for permission to access the stage.

Physical Stage Configuration – This match will leverage six physical stages that will each be shot in two different stage configurations. Each stage configuration will provide a unique shooting challenge. The two stage versions will not be shot back to back. You will shoot the first version of all six stages, then the stages will be converted to their second version and you will then shoot all six stages of the second version. This means that you will travel to each bay twice throughout the match. Each stages unique Written Stage Briefing will be post on each bay. When inspecting the physical stage keep in mind that each version of the stage has special requirements defined by each stages written stage briefing.

Popper Calibration – Popper calibration will be according to the current provisions of Appendix C1 of the Handgun Rule Book. Please remember that steel plates cannot be calibrated. If a steel plate fails to fall when hit during the course of fire the shooter will be stopped and issued a reshoot due to a range failure.

Arbitration – Arbitrations will be handled per the documented processes listed in Chapter 11 of
the current USPSA rule book. 

Drawings & Dimensions – Drawings and dimensions shown on the stage briefing are approximate and may change due to safety issues or range restrictions. There may be additional no-shoots, vision barriers, or other changes. Inspect each stage carefully and listen to the written stage briefing read by the RO’s.
