If you are running in the afternoon you can come to the later safety brief. The first runner will start at 8 AM.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasic firearm safety must be observed at all times. Do not point your firearm at another human being and keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are aligned on designated targets. Rifles will only be loaded under the supervision of a Range Officer (RO). Loaded pistols must remain in a secure holster until shooting a stage under the supervision of a RO. If you are found to be breaking these rules you will be disqualified and escorted off the premises. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe run route will take you over varying terrain, through water, and over\/under obstacles. Do not stray from the marked trail or it may take you into the live fire impact area.

It is your responsibility to properly time your wait time. The cumulative wait time, if any, will be subtracted from your overall run time. When the shooter in front of you has cleared the stage, the RO will record the wait time that you have on your watch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter explaining the stage to you, the RO will give you commands to load and begin firing. Every shooting stage will have a time limit. If you do not complete the stage under the time limit, you will receive a score of 0 for that stage. If the RO tells you to cease fire you will holster your pistol and unload your rifle. The RO will tell you your time and record your time on the score card. You must show the RO an empty mag well and chamber on your rifle before leaving each stage. Do not run with the bolt open on your empty rifle, Carolina sand will gladly fill your chamber!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the race your run and shoot scores will be calculated.
