Match Rulings will refer to CLASSIC AND HISTORICAL RIFLE MATCH, EQUIPMENT AND SCORING RULES Ver 2.0 2018 as found at the NSWMLA website. Including but not limited to-
All stages will be shot in “unsupported” position. A sling, if fitted, may be used, but must be attached to both forward and rear attachment points only and be of the type issued for the firearm in use.
Sights should conform wherever possible to the original type fitted to or used with the firearm.
Replacement sights should not confer any additional advantage. For the purposes of this match, the following definition applies:
“As Issued” Sight This refers to the sight that would have normally been fitted to a military firearm when issued. For “Military” events, if an as-issued sight is adjustable laterally for wind, the lateral adjustment must be centred and not used during the competition if lateral zero can be obtained by means of the front sight. If the lateral adjustment is the only practical manner to obtain a lateral zero, the lateral adjustment must be left in the zeroed position and not adjusted before or during the competition. Reproduction or commercial replacement sights of the same pattern as the service issue item may be used, however they must not offer any advantage to shooting over the original pattern.
Competitors must comply with NSWMLA Handbook Rule 203; no adjustable straps etc. may be used to give undue support. See also rule 132 NSWMLA Handbook. For Service Rifle Matches supportive shooting jackets may be worn but left unfastened. Detachable elbow and shoulder pads may be worn. Weather appropriate outdoor clothing of any sort may be worn, however the limitations on wearing Military Uniform as expressed in Para A5.1.1 must be adhered to
Rounds taking any part of the line between scoring areas will be scored as the higher value.
The judgement of the range officer is final.
Anything that is not in the organiser’s opinion keeping with the spirit of the event shall not be permitted.
