- “shooter ready?”: Shooter will rest weapon on table at the ready (AKA “low ready”)
- “standby”: At this point the RO will press the timer giving you a random tone signal at which you begin to engage the targets in any order you like.
- After all targets are down shooter will clear the weapon and insert OBI and say “clear”. RO will confirm line is clear and target setters will set targets back up.
- The exception will be if more than one gun is fired in a stage, in which case, the weapon will be placed on safe, or cleared. The line will be considered HOT after the completion of the stage, until all weapons are cleared and OBI inserted, until line is called hot again.

Scoring:
- Competitor will shoot each course 2 times, with the ability to shoot an "option". The option will be a 3rd attempt at the particular course
and is completely the option of the competitor. The 3rd run will automatically stand no matter the outcome. This may change per match director and competitor's discretion(vote).
- Targets must fall to be counted. Unless they are the non falling type. In the case of pigeons, if a target is thrown "broke" the shooter has to engage the broken pieces anyway to avoid a fail to engage penalty, as the target was eliminated it is esentially counted but you must engage.
