Shooting Sport Discipline Commission
1.2 These rules are written specifically for Manual Single Shot
Spring/Pneumatic Air Pellet Pistols for 0.177 and 0,22 calibers, Air
Pellet Pistols 0.177 caliber with 8, 10 and hi capacity magazines
running on CO2.and 6mm Airsoft GBB and NGBB pistols.
1.3 Classes compete all together in one event as separate but overall
scoring is possible due to class score modifier. Ideally classes are
awarded separately.
2.3 If said guns or holsters are entered in a Class event, the same
guidelines, conditions or restrictions must apply.
2.4 The Competitor will not be eligible for Overall Awards if class is
changed due to gun replacement.
2.9 When a Competitor has finished, the Range Officer will call the
next Competitor to the line.
2.11 Thirty (30) seconds will be the standard for making ready for
each additional string of fire for each gun class.
2.13 The Competitor then has ten (10) seconds to make ready and
notify the Range Officer upon having done so.
2.14 If the Competitor has not notified the Range Officer of their
readiness at the 10 second mark, the Range Officer will begin the
verbal Start Commands.
2.15 If the Competitor does not engage the course of fire when the
audible start signal sounds, they will be given a maximum time for
that string of fire.
2.17 Eye protection for all shooters and spectators are required.
Individuals observed without eye wear will be required to leave the
shooting area.
4 Courses of fire
4.1 Each course of fire will consist of five plates, one of which will be
a "stop plate".
4.2 You can arrange any set of five plates with a drawing, a name, a
clear description and the sponsor 's name if your set is supported by
one.
4.3 Each of the targets must be hit at least once during each string of
fire and a designated stop plate will be hit last to stop the time
(manual, mechanical or electronic stop).
4.5 The plate distances will vary between a minimum of 5 meters and
a maximum of 10 meters (out door) and 5 m to 15 m (indoor) from the
designated shooting box.
4.6 Unless specified in the course briefing all primary plates may be
engaged in any order (the stop plate is always engaged last).
4.7 One event has 3 stages and each stage is shot with 3 strings
each.
5.2 All squads will receive a course briefing from the Range Officer,
after which there will be a short time for any questions.
6.2 All pistols compete together but are divided into different classes
to level the differences out. The aim of the shooter is to hit the steel
plates on the go signal as fast as possible with the least number of
shots. Each class has a maximum time for each string of fire. The
standard time upon which MAAC was modified applied for 6mm
Airsoft GBBs and this was 30 seconds.
6.3 Class A: Singles Shot pistols (cal 0.177 or 0.22) : Max String
time 96 sec.
6.4 Class B: GBB and CO2 Pistols / Revolvers (cal 6mm airsoft,
0.177 ) : Max String time 30 sec.
6.5 Air Pistols CO2 or GBB with Magazine Capacity beyond 10 shots
must load only 10 pellets or BB’s per magazine. If the shooter do not
wish to have separate magazines he will take a reload penalty of 3.5
sec which is added to each string time recorded.
7 Holsters
7.1 Holsters must retain the gun. Triggers may not be fully exposed
with any holster.
7.4 Shooter without holster will start with pistol placed on table and
both hands on head.
9.2 They are then mounted on a long post, held upright in a suitable
base on the ground.
9.3 Center of the target must be at about 1 meter from the ground (
±2 centimeters ), except for specific set.
9.4 All targets are painted white except stop plate which is yellow and
will be re-painted prior to each Competitor’s first run if necessary.
9.5 Targets should be angled towards the shooter so the flat surface
faces the competitor to avoid ricochets.
10 Scoring
10.1 Your time is your score.
10.2 Each of four targets must be hit during each string of fire and a
designated stop plate will be hit last to stop the time.
10.4 Without a connected stop plate, the timer stops on the last shot
that has rung the stop plate.
10.5 With a connected stop plate, the timer stops by the last impulse
through the input jack.
10.6 Without any electronic sound timer, you must utilize digital stop
watches. Two stop watches are better then one.
10.7 Timers will start timing when the start signal is given and stop
timing when the stop plate is hit.
10.10 All shots fired at primary targets after the stop plate has been
struck, will be scored as a missed with a 3 second penalty each.
10.11 If the final score with added penalties exceed max time, then
max time will be shown as the result of the string.
10.13 Three (3) second procedural penalties will be given for moving
before the start signal, foot faults, shooting at the wrong targets from
the designated boxes, and incorrect or non movement.
10.14 All shooting will be from shooting boxes, which will measure 1
meter x 1 meter.
10.15 A foot fault will be described as when shots are fired while any
part of the body (foot) is touching down outside of the shooting boxes.
10.16 Should a tie for 1st place placing occur, a pre-designated stage
score will be used as the tie breaker.
10.18 Any questions concerning the score card should then be asked
of the Range Officials.
11.2 The time is split into 1 second actions. Each action is assumed
to take 1 second. Obviously a faster shooter performs the action in
less and a slower shooter will take more time for his actions, steel
plate challenge is about this.
11.3 A time line was built with 1 second actions to see the physical
differences between different types of pistols, mag capacities and
reloading actions.
11.4 The pistols all start on go loaded and the draw action time is
similar to all types. Referring to the GBB standard time of 30 sec
which is taken on a magazine capacity of 22 BB’s from draw to till
end on magazine it takes 25 seconds.
11.5 A reload takes an other 4 seconds and 1 other shot will close the
30 second time limit. So the number of shots is in total 23 for a GBB .
11.6 The first 5 shots are the most important in Steel Plate. Going
beyond 5 shots to hit 5 steel plates means that you will acquire a
lower hit factor. The theoretical time from the Go signal to the 5th shot
is 8sec. The draw is 3 sec (Grip, Pull & Point ) and this is common to
all possible classes. Then 5 shots based on 1 sec actions is 5
seconds. If steel plate the maximum time for string is divided by the
time taken to shoot a string. Hence a GBB shooting in 8 sec 5 targets
will give 30/8 = 3.75 Hit Factor.
11.7 When the time taken from Go Signal to the 5th shot on a CO2
this is also 8 sec. So the maximum time for a CO2 should be 30 sec.
Initially this was set higher to 35 but the real time data showed that
both GBB and CO2 are capable of times less then the theoretical set
up. For this reason we removed the 35 seconds and joined up GBB
and CO2 in one Class B with a Max Time for String at 30sec.
11. 8 With regards to Single shot pistols initially when we started the
Max time was set to 92 second after a detailed study for the
theoretical time required to shoot the same amount of pellets. Since
we started real time data confirmed that the time required from GO
signal to the 5th Shot is 24 sec. Hence with this value we can rework
back the maximum time by multiplying 24 x 3.75 Hit factor to level
this class with Class B. The result shows 90 second Maximum time.
However we encountered a technical difficulty, the pistol that
managed 24 sec as calculated theoretically was a single shot but it
was an effort less pistol. All the other single shot pistols where lever
type which require some effort to reload. Although the number of
actions are the same for a reload there is significant difference
between the reloads on the same class. The real time data shows
that the lever type minimum time from Go signal to the 5th shot was
30 sec. If we multiply 30x3.75 that would give 113 sec. If we see
the difference between 113 sec – 90 sec that is 23 sec. Enough time
for a pistol of the same class to perform 2 rounds. This will give
superior advantage to the effort less pistol in the same class. Finding
a mathematical solution is not that easy. Hence we had to balance.
The effort less pistol can give a hit factor of 3.75 if it shoots 5 targets
in 24 sec with a 90 sec max time. The real time data shows 6 sec
difference between lever type and effort less type. So the best
possible was a combination of these factors. Hence Class A single
shot now have a Max String time of 96 sec.
11.8 One must understand that this is the best and fairest set up and
MAAC will constantly monitor real time data to find the best setup for
its members.
So the classes are 2 .
Class A Single Shot : 96 Sec Max String Time
Class B CO2 and GBB : 30 Sec Max String Time.
12 Movement
12. 1 For a multiple boxes set, if the Competitor fires and leaves Box
A and then realizes he/she missed and/or hit the targets out of
sequence and then return to Box A and continues to shoot, there will
be no procedural penalty (Keep the muzzle down range while
returning to Box A).
12.3 If any shots are fired after having begun to move forward out of
the box, there WILL be a procedural penalty (for ease of judging, both
feet must be touching do when while firing).
12.4 Upon reaching Box B, the Competitor may begin to fire when
one foot is in the box and the trailing foot is either in the box or in the
air.
12.6 The shooter may not leave the initial box until AFTER the first
targets are engaged.
12.7 Upon entering the second box, the competitor may begin to
engage the targets when the trailing foot is off the runway.
13.2 The Range Officer will stop the count down and give one
warning and one warning ONLY if he sees that the competitor is
setting up too low or starting to creep or "bounce".
14 Start position
14.1 MAAC Steel Plate Shooting needs a holster, but for those who
want to compete without holster, an alternative start position is
allowed.
14.2 For those competitors who do not have a holster, the pistol will
be placed on a table.
14.3 In this position the competitor stands on the line facing the
targets, with their pistol loaded and pointing down range on the table,
with their hand held in the "Surrender Position".
14.4 All competitors especially those who shoot without a holster will
be encouraged to practice the art of the safe draw at home.
15 Range commands
15.1 The start command will be preceded by the commands "Load
and make ready."
15.2 After a short time is taken, the shooter shall indicate that he or
she is ready.
15.3 The commands will be "Are you ready? - Stand by." There will
then be a short pause of between 2 and 5 seconds before the start
signal sounds.
15.5 Hands must remain motionless after the "Stand by" command.
15.6 A 3 second penalty WILL BE ASSESSED for premature start,
hand movement or bouncing of any kind.
16 Safety rules
16.1 The range is cold! Therefore all competitors pistols are to be
kept unloaded at all times, except when instructed to load by the
Range Officer.
16.2 It is accepted that after the first course of fire has been
completed, the competitor will in most cases arrive at the line with the
pistol already powered up, for example still have the same gas in the
pistol from the previous course.
16.4 At all times during the course of fire whilst engaging targets,
loading, unloading or carrying out any remedial action such as a
malfunction clearance, the competitors pistol must be kept pointing
down range at all times.
16.5 If the limit line of 180 degrees to the shooting box is violated the
competitor will be asked to unload, and will be disqualified from the
entire match.
16.6 The competitors must also ensure that their finger is outside the
trigger guard when reloading, unloading and clearing malfunctions.
16.7 After a string of fire, no competitor may leave the line until his or
her pistol has been proved clear to the Range Officer.
16.8 Once the pistol has been proved clear to the Range Officer, the
pistol will be placed in a case or suitable holster.
16.9 If for some reason the pistol cannot be unloaded and proved
cleared because of a broken or failed mechanism, the competitor
must inform the Range Officer.
16.11 The competitor will refrain from handling their pistols, unless
instructed to do so by the Range Officer.
17 Safety violations
17.1 The following violations, any one of which may, and any two of
which shall, result in disqualification.
● Pointing an Unloaded pistol up range (break the 180 degree line).
● Dropping of an Unloaded firearm.
● Leaving the line with a loaded pistol.
● Any grossly uncontrolled shot or accidental discharge.
● Picking up a dropped firearm without the direction of a match
official.
18.3 It is critical that this sport stay as media friendly as possible and
avoid possible controversy.
19 Protest
19.1 All protest at any particular shoot should be handled by a
predetermined review process.
19.2 All decisions rendered by this process at any specific shoot are
final.
19.4 Future regulations and rules may result from this process.
19.5 The shooter is responsible to review his / her scores at that time
place any protest relating to the accuracy of the time prior to leaving
the line.
19.6 Shooters are responsible to retain their copy of the score card
and notify match officials of any errors in match postings.
19.2 MAAC Steel Plate is normally based on session and the points
are accumulative. If the shooter enters in more then one class he
must then do the other sessions also in those classes.
19.3 PLEASE Note that the competition will take place in the same
day for all classes. Hence the shooter will be required to shoot the
stages with each class. No excuses will be accepted to split classes
in different dates due to fatigue of the shooters. So consider this
before attempting two or more classes.
19.4 For MAAC Steel Plate in sessions the serial number of the pistol
will be registered so that the same pistols are used through out the
complete sessions.
19.5 For MAAC Steel Plate in single day event the serial numbers are
not registered.
