Some additional rules for precision rifle shooting:

The bolt of the weapon remains back and your finger remains off the trigger as long as the weapon is not aimed at the target. Only after you have the target in your sights through the scope can you close the bolt.

If you need to lift your face to adjust settings on your scope, you will move the bolt backward.

All movements during a stage are done with the bolt open, finger off the trigger, and weapon pointed at the targets.
When transporting your rifle on the range, always keep the general safety measures and keep your muzzle up!

The RO - Range Officer monitors safety. 

Safety violations may result in disqualification.
