4.30 Conducting Finals in Competitions:
Finals are now an important part of most air rifle competitions. They are the last stage of individual competition events. In a final, the top eight individual shooters in the first 30 or 60 shots fire another 10 shots together in a “final round.” Their final round scores are added to their 30 or 60 shot scores to determine final individual rankings. The difference in finals is that each of the 10 shots is fired one-at-a-time, with scores announced after each shot. This procedure can easily be done on electronic targets or on single bull targets with target carriers, but it presents special safety challenges when 10-bull targets are used. This is because it is not acceptable or safe to permit anyone to go downrange while shooters are still in position and have rifles in their hands. In this case, these procedures must be followed:
See Rule 10.0 in the National Standard Three-Position Air Rifle Rules (copy is provided in JMIC Notebook) for specific finals procedures and commands.
Assign spotters with spotting telescopes to each of the eight final round firing points.
Hang 10-bull targets and complete the 3-minute preparation and 7-minute sighting periods.
After each final round shot, spotters must write the estimated value of his/her shooters’ shots on cards and hold them so the Range Officer can see and announce each shot value. Record those shot values on a scoreboard.
After all 10 shots are fired, have shooters ground their rifles and insert CBIS; then clear the line to retrieve and officially score the targets. Announce final results as soon as possible after the targets are officially scored.
A sporter class final with the finalists (top eight individuals) on the line. The final is 10 additional shots fired on a shot-by-shot basis and counts in the total individual score.
