USAS rule change for 25 meter events without turners

[Guest]

Has everyone seen this updated rule?

USA
6.3.16.9C

In USA Shooting sanctioned PTO’s, for all 25m events, two alternative methods may be used if turning or electronic scoring targets are not used/available:

1. A shot timer, with audible start and stop signals, on a fixed target array may be used. The shot timer may sense shots either acoustically or via another method.

2. Red/green start and stop lights, with a shot timer for determining overtime shots, on a fixed target array may be used. Any shots fired before the start signal or after the stop signal (plus a built-in 1/10th second buffer) will be scored as misses (for each shot fired in violation, a 10 point penalty will be assessed). The shot timer must be capable of being set to the specified time limits for each event.

If the shot timer senses more than one competitor's shots during a string, only one competitor at a time should fire in order to prevent false readings. If the shot timer senses shots from each competitor individually and accurately records shots from each competitor, multiple competitors may fire at the same time.

This method may not be used for team selection.

This should make shooting the 25 m events without turners a bit easier!
