1. |
A C&B with the chambers charged with
powder and ball, is NOT considered a |
|
loaded firearm. The C&B is considered
a loaded firearm when the percussion caps |
|
are placed on the nipples. |
|
|
2. |
The
C&B may be charged with powder
and ball at the shooters gun-cart, or at the |
|
unloading table, unless otherwise directed by
the Match Director, or the Range Rules. |
|
|
3. |
It is the shooter's responsibility NOT
to sweep another person with their gun while |
|
charging the cylinders. |
|
|
4. |
It is the shooters responsibility NOT
to smoke, NOT to allow any one else to smoke |
|
nearby, and to be aware of any other spark producing
devices while charging the |
|
C&B. |
|
|
5. |
Capping is to be done ONLY at the
loading table/area, or on the firing line. |
|
|
6. |
At NO TIME may the shooter use
the capping device, any body part, or the hammer |
|
to apply pressure to the percussion caps. Seating
the caps may be accomplished |
|
ONLY by means of a “push stick”
or similar instrument to apply pressure to the |
|
percussion cap. |
|
|
7. |
During the capping operations, proper muzzle
control must be maintained. With the |
|
installation of the percussion caps, the C&B
becomes a “Loaded Firearm”. |
|
|
8. |
To engage a 6th round reload stage, the shooter may charge all six
chambers at the |
|
proper charging area. ONLY 5 nipples may be
capped at the LOADING TABLE. |
|
The hammer will be resting on the un-capped nipple. When the
C&B
is drawn to |
|
engage the stage scenario, the 6th nipple must BE CAPPED BEFORE
firing the first |
|
shot. This rule shall also apply to firearms with more or less than
6 chambers, the |
|
hammer must rest on an un-capped nipple. |
|
|
9. |
It is, as always, the shooter’s responsibility to understand the correct
operation of |
|
their firearm. If the shooter is new to the use of the C&B
revolver, an experienced |
|
shooter will be happy to mentor, just ask! |
