Craig N Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Is there a rule that covers when you can and can't take a few test shots if you discover you have a loose sight screw or have lost a screw when you take your gun outta the case/sleeve or if you lose a rear sight during the course of fire? I know you can go to the safety area and change out parts if one breaks and test say a thumb safety or a trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can go to the safety area and change out parts if one breaks and test say a thumb safety or a trigger. It depends.I know of no rule against it. I would say that it is up to the match officials. At a level 1 match, the RO or the RM could let you go at it. If it is a major match and they do not have an area for test firing, you may be out of luck. In short, you may be able to, but don't count on it.

Gary Stevens Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 You can usually find a range that has a bit of down time that will let you fire a few rounds at a rock or maybe a target. I've never see anyone refused when they have asked. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pskys2 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Some of the bigger matches may have a designated Range set aside for sighting in they will also have staff there. As long as you have permission, a clear range and an RO you will be able to. Just don't go to an extra range and try it without an RO being with you.
