6. RANGE STANDARDS

6.1 Firing Line-The firing line is immediately in front ofthe several firing
points. All ranges are measured from this firing line to the face of the targets
when targets are hung in their proper position in front of the backstop.

6.2 Firing Point-That part of the range provided for the competitor
immediately in the rear of the firing line from which firing takes place. Each
firing point is numbered to correspond with the target frames. Each firing point
should have a minimum width of 6 feet.

6.3 Shelter-The firing points may be protected with a roof but may not be
wholly or partly enclosed. Competitors must be exposed to prevailing winds.
This does not preclude the construction of ranges within areas surrounded or
partially surrounded by safety walls or structures designed for the suppression
of sound. Umbrellas or other types of temporary individual shelters are not to
be used.

6.4 Distances-Matches are commonly fired at ranges of 100, 200, 300,
500, 600, 800, 900 and 1000 yards.

6.5 Illumination-Artificial illumination of ranges is authorized.

6.6 Target Numbers-The numbers will be large enough to be identified
under ordinary conditions with normal vision. Numbers must correspond with
firing point numbers. Target numbers will be fixed in position so as to remain
visible when targets are exposed and when concealed. Single digit numbers on
the number boards to correspond to the last digit of the firing point number will
be allowed, and should be painted black on white or white on black.

6.7 & 6.8 Blank

6.9 Range Safety Flag-A red flag visible from the firing line will be
displayed when firing is in progress (Recommended size of range flags is 5 ft.,
9 3/8 in. at the hoist, 18 feet in length and tapered the full length of the lower
edge to be 3 feet wide at the fly end and made of red cotton flag bunting.)

6.9.1 Wind Flag-Wind flags should be displayed at various distances
between the firing line and the targets. It is recommended that the flags be
placed at 200,500 and 700 yards. It is further recommended that the flag be 48''
by 18'' at tip and 12'in length. This flag will be made of 8oz polyester bunting
and will be of two colors, red and yellow.

6.10 Communication-Communication will be maintained between the
target pit and firing line whenever personnel are in the pits.
