Air rifle sweaty hands NRA rules question?

My daughter's hands get sweaty when shooting. NRA rules say you cannot add any sticky spray to the grip. Can liquid chalk be used on the hands like tennis and baseball players use to keep them dry?

Thanks
Glenn

Re: Rules question - prep time blowing air through gun

It was during 3 minute prep time when dry firing is allowed. No pellet was discharged, just air. It was not a cease fire during the shooting time for a record score. I think my confusion comes fromantic the definition of a shot. It's is discharging a projectile only or does a shot include cycling ai...

Thanks. It's the purple NRA rule book. They shoot the high end Anschutz, FWB, and Walther guns. He thought he had the safety engaged but was mistaken. It happens. I bet he will never do that again. Anyone else on the team could have shot another point or 2.

They use NRA rules. The rule was 14.5 on PG 44. The boy was in prep time of the prone portion of a 3P match. They are allowed to dry fire, but cannot send pellets down range into the sighters or otherwise.

It caused them to lose the title by 1 point.

Rules question - prep time blowing air through gun

Recently in a high school air rifle match, a shooter accidently ran air through his gun with no pellet during prep time. He was penalized at the end of the round citing that a shot must not be fired using a cease fire. Was this a just enforcement of the rule and does cycling air constitute a shot? T...
