  1. 6.Positions: 

Sitting – The buttocks must be on the ground with the body facing target. Hand may be extended to rear for support, elbow may not touch the ground. Back cannot rest on the ground and one or both knees may be raised. Arm or arms, hand or hands may be supported on, or by the knees. The firearm may be held by one or both hands, but may not be supported or steadied by either foot. One or two hands may be used to hold the firearm. No part of the firearm may touch the ground, foot or the barricade.

Prone – Body extended on the ground parallel to the line of sight, head toward target. “Roll-over” prone position may be used as long as the body is extended on the ground generally parallel to the line of sight and the position does not interfere with another competitor. The pistol may not touch the ground, but may be supported by one or both hands which may touch the ground, and which are extended toward the target. The competitor assumes the prone position from the Sitting position and the revolver or pistol must remain pointing “down range” during the process of changing positions.

Standing with support

(a) Standing behind a post: Both feet must be behind the line (which is either real or imaginary) extending from the firing line to the rear of the exposed or shooting side of the post. No part of the firearm may touch the post. Shooting hand or firearm may be supported by the other hand. The test will be: if the support hand is removed, the firearm can still be fired. Left hand post must be fired before right hand post.

(b) Left hand post: All shots must be fired around the left side of the post. Firearm must be held with the left hand and only the left trigger finger may be in the trigger guard.

(c) Right hand post: All shots must be fired around the right side of the post. Firearm must be held with the right hand and only the right trigger finger may be in the trigger guard.

 Standing without support

Standing with bent or straight legs, firearm held by one or both hands. All portions of the competitor’s clothing, body and firearm clear of artificial support.

Kneeling

(a) Kneeling on one knee, the other extended toward the target. Buttocks may be on heel or side of foot but cannot touch the ground. One arm may be supported on the forward knee. The firearm may be held by one or both hands.

(b) Kneeling on both knees, the buttocks clear of the ground but may rest on heels. The firearm may be held by one or both hands and one or both arms are to be extended without other support.
