  4. Your chamber must remain open until your turn.
  5. A shooter may only insert a shell when the shooter in front of them is up. You may close the action (chamber round) ONLY after the previous shooter has completed their turn.

  17. Parents/guardians/shooters are not allowed to be up near the line talking with/coaching their student(s) while a round is being shot.
  18. If a coach or the RSO sends a shooter off the line for safety reasons, we will wait until 24 hours have passed before discussing it with you.
