IMPORTANT NOTES

ALL DCRA SAFETY PROTOCOLS WILL BE OBSERVED

1. Except when shooting, all rifles will have a chamber flag inserted into the breach OR MUST have the bolt removed. 2. Prior to removing a rifle from the firing point it must be cleared by your shooting partner and then by the Range Safety Officer. 3. No rifles to the line unless CRO gives permission.

APPEALS

All shooting and scoring appeals must first be made to the Range Safety Officer on the firing line. If these cannot be resolved, an appeal may be directed to the Match Committee. The Match Committee will consist of a shooter from each province represented at the APM.

CLASSES

There will be three classes of shooting - TR, FTR and F-OPEN.  TR and FTR must be shot with 5.56 mm or 7.62 mm. TR must use metallic sights and max bullet weight of 156 gr. FTO must be less than 8 mm.

Tie Breaking

Shoot-offs will be used to break ties in the overall aggregate of the Prince of Wales and the Governor General's matches only.

Ties in other Matches will be determined by: 1) Highest score at the longest ranges, 2) Countback of the shots on score starting with the last shot fired, 3) highest number of converted sighters.

Food and Drink

Competitors are advised to bring snacks and/or lunches as well as drinks to the range for each day as the lunch period will not be long enough to leave the range.  Water will be provided at the range. 

TARGETS

1. Electronic targets will be used for all matches and electronic tablets are required by all shooters. Technical assistance will be available. 2. Both F-Classes will shoot on the ICFRA target. The e-target system will be automatically adjusted for this. 3. At the 300m range, all shooters must raise their elevation 2.5 MOA so that the sighting center is not shot out. Normal elevations will be applied at the 500m to 900m ranges. 4. First match of each day only, practice shots will be allowed until you are on paper. After that only 2 sighter shots and the shots on record will be allowed.

SQUADDING

Each shooter will be assigned a relay number (1 or 2). You will remain on that relay on Saturday, and switch to the other relay on Sunday. Squadding within a relay will be random, and F-class shooters may shoot alongside TR shooters. For the final stage of the Governor General’s match, the top scoring shooters will be squadded on the last relay in order.
