Specific Rules for Conduct of the Barricade Event – Modified Rounds:
48 Target:
NRA AP-1 target Range:
10,15,25,35 yards Procedure: At
each stage there will be a 6 foot high, 2 foot wide barricade. They will be
placed in a line, one directly behind another. Each barricade will have a
clearly marked 2-foot wide by 3-foot long firing area 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. There will be 2 targets downrange. One will be placed 3 feet to
the left of the centerline and one 3 feet to the
right (6 feet apart, edge- to- edge). The starting position will be with the
handgun holstered and the palms of both hands on the face of the barricade.
The starting signal will be an audible type (whistle, horn, etc.) or turning
targets may be used, preceded by the verbal commands “READY” and “STANDBY.” 10
Yard Stage: At
the signal to commence fire, competitor fires 6 rounds at either target from
the matching side of the barricade; performs a mandatory reload and fires 6
rounds at the remaining target from the matching side of the barricade; time
limit is 13 seconds. 15
Yard Stage: At
the signal to commence fire, competitor fires 6 rounds at either target from
the matching side of the barricade; performs a mandatory reload and fires 6

not performed. Note:

Bianchi Cup Champions. From the NRC Director
Placing a pistol on the ground (Service Events, Action Pistol, WA1500): First, a
clarification – and a lesson in proof reading for me. Thanks to those who actually read the
article in the ‘Bulletin’ and brought this to my attention. In the paragraph re
placing a pistol on the ground in the NRC article in the Bulletin (June 2015),
the use of the word ‘loaded’ was a mistake for which I apologise: the intent
of was not that this only applies to a loaded pistol but that it applies when
moving to, or from, prone with a pistol (loaded or unloaded). The question of
‘where the pistol points’ even when not loaded arose in Action Pistol first,
but also has been asked in the context of Service Pistol and WA1500 in terms. My intention was to show that in such a case
the rule about anything on the ground being ‘dead’ was being ignored with the
permission of the ROs/officials – the
pistol MUST be in a safe direction! Update to PA Holster Course I am currently in
PNG at the Pacific Games – by the time I get home I anticipate that the final
version of the PA Holster Course will be ready for release. We have taken on board a lot of the
feedback and I believe we now have a workable holster safety accreditation
course. Renewal of PA Judge Licences: We have recently
completed the renewal of the Judges A licences and will soon be doing the
ISSF Judges B licences. Other
disciplines will follow, as will the Range Officers. This is a mammoth task and will be done in
collaboration with the State Referee Directors. PA Holster
regulations – REVISED and in force There are clear requirements
for holster belt wear and a few other clarifications – read it here> PA GTRs – REVISED and in force PA Executive
has approved the 2018 edition of the PA GTRs,
The GTRs cover all PA competitions and take precedence over the
discipline rules - they are available as a pdf file> Metallic Sight Awards At the PA
ECM (02/11/14) it was resolved that he range of awards at PA National
Championships for Metallic Sight events and ‘overall’ will be the same as for
the Open events. Chronographing At
the PA ECM 10/5/2014 it was resolved to NOT ACCEPT scores
for PA team selection UNLESS chronographing
was conducted properly. This
came about as at least one club holding sanctioned competitions seems to have
an inordinate amount of trouble (competition after competition) in getting a
chronograph to work properly. Chronographing
is an inherent part of Action Pistol! For competitors: ·
Be aware that if your loads
do not pass chronographing, your score will not count for selection purposes. ·
A wise shooter will check
with the Competition Organisers that the chronographing will operate properly. For Competition Organisers: ·
Be aware that if you cannot
provide chronographing, you are going to have a lot of very upset shooters ·
If you are having a problem
with setting up the chronograph so that it WILL work
properly, get the problem sorted out BEFORE the
competition. ·
Chronographing must be completed before protest time is finished – i.e.
completed on the last day of the competition. For PA Judges: ·
Before the competition, a
wise Judge will check with the Competition Organisers that the chronographing
WILL operate properly. ·
If the loads are not
chronographed for Power Factor, you cannot sign-off
on the results as a true and proper record. Note that the NRA Action Pistol rules are not
taken their entirety for either the Bianchi Cup, or for the conduct of Action
Pistol within PA. The rules hierarchy is: ·
Calibre & barrel
lengths as specified by Australian legislation ·
Any specific safety
requirements for the competition venue ·
PA GTRs ·
PA Supplementary rules to the NRA Action Pistol RulesTop of this page 7.9 Falling Plate Event -
Competitors must fire the 10 yard line segment in the standing position.
Competitors may fire the 15, 20, and 25 yard line segments in the prone position
at their option. Note that shooters may NOT
practice proning out with the pistol remaining
(loaded or unloaded) in the holster: the pistol must be safely drawn and
remain pointing downrange. Grip Safeties, transfer bars in revolvers, etc. As of 1 January 2007 PA requires
compliance with the 2006 NRA Action Pistol rule change that states that “all
standard safety features of guns must operate properly” as per the motion
passed by PA Management at the meeting held 13 August 2005, “that the NRA
rule changes with respect to grip safety be adopted as of 1 January 2006”. |
