The National Range Officers Institute (NROI) recently addressed a critical question regarding handling unrestored targets during USPSA matches. The issue centers on whether competitors should be penalized for shooting at targets not reset between stages, a situation that can unfairly impact match outcomes. NROI’s response clarifies the rules and reinforces fair competition standards, emphasizing that shooters are not responsible for ensuring targets are restored before engaging them.
The article explains that Range Officers must ensure targets are properly reset and that competitors are not penalized for others’ errors. If a competitor shoots at an unrestored target, the Range Officer should evaluate the situation and apply the rules equitably. This approach ensures fairness while maintaining the integrity of the match.
