Match Rules, Regulations and
Etiquette
1. Safety: Everyone’s safety is our primary goal, please help us achieve this. RCWA
is a cold range. Safe areas are provided for your use and there will be no gun
handling at your vehicle. Violations will result in disqualification.
2. No ammo, snap-caps, dummy ammo, etc. will be handled in the safe area. There
are no exceptions! Also, please remember to wear your eye and ear protection.
This also goes for all bystanders that may be joining you on the range.
3. Children must be under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian at all
times. No climbing on the berms or props.
4. USPSA rules (January 2014 Handgun Rules – Effective February 1st 2014, with all
applicable DNROI rulings and appendix changes in effect as of the first day of the
match) will be followed, any reference to rules in this publication refers to these
rules.

7. Stage Inspection: The stages/bay are closed to competitors and the general public until
they have been sanctioned by the Range Master (RM), which will occur sometime
Thursday September 8, 2016. Please stay off of the stages/bays until that time. After
the RM has certified each stage, competitors may inspect the stages as long as a squad
is not currently occupying the stage/bay, please be considerate. If the RO staff is
present on a stage, please ask before inspecting the course of fire.
a. If there is yellow caution tape across the bay entrance, it is off limits. Offenders
will be withdrawn from the match and forfeit their match fee.
b. All bays/stages are considered closed outside of the posted match hours and
registration hours.
c. You may not activate props or moving targets (Look but don’t touch). Violations
will result in a match DQ.
8. USPSA is a family sport. No camouflage clothing, controversial and/or obscene slogans
or language, or any other items of questionable taste. The Match Director will be the
sole and final arbiter of questionable taste.
9. Brass Pickup: In order to keep the match on schedule, the RO staff will pick up all brass
at the end of each half-day shooting schedule. Brass will be distributed between the
range staff. Shooters are strongly encouraged to pick up any live rounds.
10. Impenetrable: All vision barriers, barricades and walls (unless specifically designated as
soft cover), targets, no-shoots and hard cover are deemed impenetrable to a full bullet
diameter. All walls are deemed to extend from the ground to infinity. Shots under such
walls will incur procedurals and can result in a Match DQ (unsafe gun handling, shots
striking the ground within 10 feet not at a target and/or bullet leaving the range).
Deliberately shooting through walls, barricades or other props may result in a 10.6
Match DQ.

unless stated otherwise in the stage briefing.
12. Arbitration Requests: The cash fee is $100.00. Ask the Range Master or Match
Director for an Arbitration Request Form and ask for his assistance in retaining
evidence. Complete and return the form within one hour of the time noted on the
score sheet, together with the arbitration fee, to the Range Master per 11.1.7.
Read and understand USPSA Rules (Chapter 11) before filing.
13. Arbitration Committee: The Match Director may appoint any competitor or staff
member to be member of the arbitration committee in accordance with 11.2.
14. Rain Covers: Paper targets will be covered with transparent plastic if there is rain
only by order of the Range Master per rule 2.3.5. The plastic covers will be
removed when the rain stops only by order of the Range Master. DO NOT remove
rain covers unless and until so directed by the Range Master.
15. The test firing of guns may be permitted at the chronograph area pending the
availability of the Range Officer on the chronograph. This hot area is being offered
as a courtesy, and may not be available throughout the day, if at all.
16. It is the shooters responsibility to make sure that all the information on the sticker
affixed to the front of the shooter’s score sheet packet is correct. If there are any
mistakes, you must let the stats team know immediately when you receive the
