Muzzle beyond “Muzzle Safe Points” or  180°.  A loaded firearm except while on the firing line. Unloaded firearms may be handled only in designated “safe areas”. Dropping a loaded firearm. Repeated “finger” violations. Unintended discharge that does not hit a backstop. Sweeping anybody. Ever. Loaded or unloaded. Handling ammunition in the safe area.

2. EQUIPMENT; Rifle(Pistol Caliber), sling, light, magazines. Pistol, holster, light, magazines. Ball/FMJ ammo – no hollow point or wad cutter. Training blade and sheath if possible. Airsoft primary and secondary if possible. Ear & eye protection.

3. RULES

Cover is minimally 100% of lower body and 50% of upper body. When using tactical priority to pie targets from a position of cover the shooter should be moving slightly between threat engagements. Failure to do this indicates more than one threat is visible. Shooter may engage threats out of cover if there is aggressive movement towards the threat or a position of cover. (No IDPA slow foot shuffle). Going empty while exposed to threats necessitates a transition to secondary weapon system. While behind cover, any reload may be performed flatfooted or OTM. When shooting from a static position of cover, shooter must shoulder weapon on engagement side. Hard cover – Any shot that touches anything prior to the threat is a miss (threat or non-threat). All threats MUST have 2 hits inside -0, -1 or FTN (failure to neutralize). This is close quarters; do not leave partially neutralized threats in your proximity. Procedural errors awarded for doing dumb stuff. Hit on non-threat or a FTN results in 20 second penalty . Drills – Time plus. Scenarios - Par time/No time – Points down (including anything not engaged).
