4. PISTOL TARGET PREPARATION AND SCORING:
a. PISTOL TARGET PREPARATION: Target detail will be responsible for the preparation
and proper maintenance of targets. Competitors are not allowed to mark their targets in
any manner, which would provide an enhanced aiming point. Competitors will provide
the following information for their score sheet:
(1) Roster Number
(2) Competitors will sequentially number their targets as directed by the range staff.
b. PISTOL TARGET SCORING: Scoring in pistol matches will normally be conducted on the
range under controlled conditions under the supervision of the Pistol Range NCOIC. During
all matches, when a shot touches the line between two scoring divisions of the target, the
competitor will be credited with the higher value. If a Pistol event has a no-threat target in it,
and it is engaged and hit by the competitor, the competitor will receive no points for this
event.
c. EXCESSIVE HITS:
(1) If it is proven that the excess hits were made by the competitor firing more than the
number of shots allowed, the entire score will be disallowed and the penalty can be
disqualification. If it is determined the excess hits are due to crossfire; the competitor with
excessive hits will receive the high score.
(2) In all pistol matches the competitor engages more than one target. If there are no excess
in the total number of hits, but there are more hits on one particular target than are
allowed by the conditions, the score on the target with excessive hits shall be the highest
score up to the number of shots permitted to be fired on that target. The score on the
target(s) with insufficient hits will stand.
d. CHALLENGES IN PISTOL MATCHES: Competitors may challenge shot value. The Pistol
Range NCOICs decision will be final on all challenges of shot value.

(3) The rifle is a RED when a magazine is inserted, a round is in the chamber, the bolt is
forward and locked, the ejection port cover is CLOSED, and the selector is set to SAFE.
b. RIFLE FIRING POSITIONS DEFINED: In the FORSCCOM Small Arms Championships, with
the exception of wearing the equipment specified in the match program, the positions used
will be as defined in TC 3-22.9, Change 1 dated January 2017. Competitors should reference
Chapter 6, and be familiar with the standing supported and unsupported, squatting, kneeling
supported and unsupported, sitting, prone supported, unsupported, and rollover prone
(1) The Ground: All references to the ground in the following position rules are to be
construed as applying to the surface on the firing point, floor, or shooting mats, and
platforms that are customarily used on shooting ranges.
(2) Artificial Support: Any supporting surface except the ground not specifically authorized
for use in the rules for the position described. Digging of elbow or heel holes at the firing
points which form artificial support for the elbows, arms, or legs is prohibited. Use of

31
Figure 1: M9 Modified EIC Target Figure 2: Rifle Zero Target

a. Rifle Timed Fire Matches:
32
(1) Competitors are required to observe their targets being scored and marked by the Rifle
NCOIC.
(2) In snap shooting, rapid fire, fire with movement stages, and any other stage in which
each shot is separately marked, the method of scoring will be: When a stage of the
match has been completed, if there are no challenges, the range officer will signal to
the pits to score the targets. Scores will be taken and the total number of hits and
their value will be shown at the end of the course of fire.
b. Target Marking and Scoring:
(1) During scoring, the scorer will tell the shooter which shot he fired and the value of the
shot. i.e., Your first sighting shot is an X. The scorer can tell the competitor the location
of the shot but cannot tell him how to correct his shot, i.e., "Your sixth shot is a X at 6."
(2) When a shot touches the line between two scoring divisions of the target, the competitor
will be credited with the higher value.
(3) During Reflexive/Stress shoots; If any target that has been identified as a no threat
target is engaged by the competitor, it will result in no score being awarded for that
event.
c. Excessive Hits:
(1) When in any match or series of matches, the total number of hits on a competitors target
or targets exceeds the number of shots he fired, and when there is no means of
identifying these shots, all hits will be scored and the procedure will then be as follows:
(2) If it can be proven the excessive hits were made by the individual firing more than the
number of shots allowed, the score will be disallowed, and will result in no score for that
stage.
(3) In the case of a crossfire, when it has been proven that the competitor fired no more than
the allowed number of shots (10), then that competitor will receive the value of the
highest (10) hits on his target. There will be no re-fires allowed due to excessive hits. The
target will be scored in the pits and shown to the competitor IAW normal match
procedure.
5. CHALLENGES IN Rifle MATCHES:
a. Timed Fire: During timed exposures, the following will occur:
(1) If the challenge is for the number of hits in a match, the competitor will be advised of
the pit officers decision before the match continues.
(2) If the challenge is for the non-exposure or short exposure of a target during a match, and
this is confirmed by a block officer, pit officer or scorer on the firing line, there will be an
additional exposure of the target for that competitor only for the time stipulated for the
match. The additional exposure must be identified before the next stage begins.
(3) If the challenge is for a higher value, the correct value will be signaled.
33
b. The call for challenges by the Rifle NCOIC in other than slow fire matches, when the targets
are displayed upon completion of the match, will be the last opportunity for a challenge.
6. TIMING OF EXPOSURES IN RIFLE MATCHES:
a. Method: A stopwatch will be used for timing exposure or the duration of firing. The official
time for all timed exposures will be kept in the pit.
b. Timed exposures: In timed exposures, raising, lowering and the facing of targets is to be
done as quickly as possible. In all types of matches, the exposure will be timed from the
moment the last target is exposed and stationary. No verbal indication as to how the time is
passing is allowed.
c. During stages that require reflexive fire, time will be recorded by shot timer. If a Par time has
been established for the stage, it will be briefed to the competitor prior to.
7. TIE-BREAKING PROCEDURES:
a. Individual Matches: The following steps will break ties in individual matches in order.
(1) Single Stages.
i. By the greatest number of Xs or -0 value hits.

ii. By inverse order of shots, counting singly from the last shot to the first shot.
(2) Multiple Stages at different distances.
i. By the greatest number of -0 value hits.

ii. By the score obtained at the longest distance, the next longest distance, etc.
(3) Multiple Stages at different distances, but the score at each distance and/or stage cannot
be determined. (Scored as single target)

ii. By the greatest number of hits of highest value, next highest value, etc.
be determined. (Scored as multiple sets of targets)

ii. By the scores of targets sets in reverse order.
(5) Individual unbreakable ties will be determined by the following:
i. Rifle Match 321.
(6) If a tie still exists a shoot off will be directed as determined by the Match Director.

will be as defined in TC 3-22.249 dated May 2017. Competitors should reference Chapter 6,
and be familiar with all standing, kneeling, sitting, and prone positions.
(1) The Ground: All references to the ground in the following position rules are to be
construed as applying to the surface on the firing point, floor, or shooting mats, and
platforms that are customarily used on shooting ranges.
(2) Artificial Support: Any supporting surface except the ground not specifically authorized
for use in the rules for the position described. Digging of elbow or heel holes at the firing
points which form artificial support for the elbows, arms, or legs is prohibited. Use of
artificial support (such as back braces) is prohibited.

verifying the score entered on their scorecard before turning in the card and leaving the range.
The targets used for the FORSCOM Small Arms Championships are described below.
46
a. SAW Timed Fire Matches:
(1) Competitors are required to observe their targets being scored and marked by the SAW
NCOIC.
(2) In snap shooting, rapid fire, fire with movement stages, and any other stage in which
each shot is separately marked, the method of scoring will be: When a stage of the
match has been completed, if there are no challenges, the SAW NCOIC will score the
targets. Scores will be taken and the total number of hits and their value will be shown at
the end of the course of fire.
b. Target Marking and Scoring:
(1) During scoring, the scorer will tell the shooter which shot he fired and the value of the
shot. i.e., Your first sighting shot is an X. The scorer can tell the competitor the location
of the shot but cannot tell him how to correct his shot, i.e., "Your sixth shot is a X at 6."
(2) When a shot touches the line between two scoring divisions of the target, the competitor
will be credited with the higher value.
(3) During Reflexive/Stress shoots; If any target that has been identified as a no threat
target is engaged by the competitor, it will result in no score being awarded for that
event.
c. Excessive Hits:
(1) When in any match or series of matches, the total number of hits on a competitors target
or targets exceeds the number of shots he fired, and when there is no means of
identifying these shots, all hits will be scored and the procedure will then be as follows:
(2) If it can be proven the excessive hits were made by the individual firing more than the
number of shots allowed, the score will be disallowed, and will result in no score for that
stage.
(3) In the case of a crossfire, when it has been proven that the competitor fired no more than
the allowed number of shots (10), then that competitor will receive the value of the
highest (10) hits on his target. There will be no re-fires allowed due to excessive hits. The
target will be scored in the pits and shown to the competitor IAW normal match
procedure.
5. CHALLENGES IN SAW MATCHES:
a. Timed Fire: During timed exposures, the following will occur:
(1) If the challenge is for the number of hits in a match, the competitor will be advised by the
SAW NCOIC.
(2) If the challenge is for the non-exposure or short exposure of a target during a match, and
this is confirmed by a block officer, pit officer or scorer on the firing line, there will be an
additional exposure of the target for that competitor only for the time stipulated for the
match. The additional exposure must be identified before the next stage begins.
47
(3) If the challenge is for a higher value, the correct value will be signaled.
b. The call for challenges by the SAW NCOIC upon completion of the match, will be the last
opportunity for a challenge.
6. TIMING OF EXPOSURES IN SAW MATCHES:
a. Method: The computer in the Range tower will be used for timing exposure or the duration of
firing on any automated ranges.
b. Timed exposures: In timed exposures, raising, lowering and the facing of targets is to be
done as quickly as possible. In all types of matches, the exposure will be timed from the
moment the last target is exposed and stationary. No verbal indication as to how the time is
passing is allowed.
c. During stages that require reflexive fire, time will be recorded by shot timer. If a Par time has
been established for the stage, it will be briefed to the competitor prior to.
