(Barricade event) and 10.24 (Moving Target Modified event)
Some shooters
are standing such that a foot is resting on the raised perimeter defining the
firing area, using an excuse that the foot is not resting on the ground
outside the firing area. There is no
reference to the ground outside the firing area in 10.23 or 10.24, only to
the ‘within the firing area’. While the
wording relating to ‘within the firing area’ is slightly different in these
two rules, the following apply: a. The
firing area is defined, whether this is by a raised perimeter, the extremities
of a raised area, painted lines, whatever.
b. The
firing area is the area within the boundaries: conversely, the boundaries are
not within the firing area. Specifically for
firing areas defined by any raised perimeter it is inside the raised perimeter. c. For
the Barricade event no portion of the competitor's body (this includes feet
and footwear) or equipment may touch outside the firing area: ·
resting a
foot on any raised boundary is touching outside the firing area. This applies irrespective of any spurious
reference to the ground outside the firing area. ·
resting a foot against the inside of a
raised boundary would be within the boundary d. For
the Moving Target Modified event the shooter must stand within the firing
area while firing ·
While for the Barricade event the shooters
feet may not touch outside firing area, for the Moving target Modified event
the requirements are different ·
The shooter’s feet and footwear must be
within the firing area, even if not touching outside the firing area. 10.23 …Each

on the up-range side, The competitor
must be within the firing area at the "COMMENCE FIRE" signal and no
portion of the competitor's body or equipment may touch outside the firing
area until the competitor has finished firing the designated rounds. The
barricade will be considered to be within the firing area and may be used as
support… 10.24 …There
will be a clearly marked. 3 foot square tiring (sic) area at each stage. The tiring (sic) square will be at the center of the 60-foot run of the target. The competitor
