• A shotgun can only be loaded when a shooter is in the station, the gun is over the front rail and target area is deemed clear and safe.  At all times, the gun shall be unloaded and placed on a rack or carried vertically with the action open.   When leaving any station or shooting area, shooters must ensure that the shotgun is unloaded and the action is open and carried in a vertical position.
•  All shots must be taken from inside a station by one person at a time.  Shooting from anywhere else including next to or in front of a station is strictly prohibited.  ONLY shooters in wheel chairs are permitted to shoot directly next to a station when it is deemed safe.
