A. Rifle: ARP 556 2.0 (EGC-556-V02-BNB-NCM)

1. Velocity: Maximum speed of 350 fps with 0.25 g BBs (1.43 J)

3. Target system and range setup

1. The competition requires a MET or ETT 5×5 target system with a timer.
   A. Due to the nature of the competition, no 5×5 or Search & Destroy system may be modified to replicate a 5×5 target system.
   B. Distributors will be contacted before qualifiers to confirm target system functionality.

2. Precision target crowns will be used to simulate smaller targets. Crown positions are as follows:
   i. TWO 8 cm crowns [G-11-103-1] for top corner targets
   ii. THREE 4 cm crowns [G-11-102] for center and bottom corner targets

3. A tripod or stand will be placed in front of the competitor as a dividing line (details in “Official Stage Operations”).

4. Shooting distance must be 25 feet, measured from the front of the targets to the shooting barricade.

5. Event organizers must provide proper ASNI-rated eye protection.

4. Regional Qualifier Operations

1. Registration fees are set by individual distributors.

2. Distributors may run as many practice sessions as they wish before qualifiers, but only times recorded on competition day are valid.

3. Event organizers must provide competitor registration and result tables.

4. Organizers must provide clear photo/video recording showing the shooting line, magazines, and timer. (G&G only accepts scores from the official qualifying day, practice scores or incomplete recordings are invalid.)

5. At the end of the competition day, organizers will send the two fastest times to 101TechUSA and G&G for evaluation. The two fastest overall times from all Mexico qualifiers will be contacted after confirmation.

5. Official Stage Operations

1. The target system will be set to 5 (random mode).

2. The field officer will press the start button to begin the session (ensure recording device is active for official timing).

3. Competitor time continues until all 25 targets are hit.

4. NEW RULE: Competitors must hit at least 5 plates from the opposite shoulder/side of the tripod during the session.
   a. Example: A right-handed shooter starts shooting targets from the right shoulder/side of the tripod, then must switch to the left shoulder/side and hit at least 5 targets.
   b. Shooters may choose when to switch and can switch again after reaching the 5-target minimum.
   c. Penalty: Missing targets outside the shoulder position adds 15 seconds per target.

5. Maximum stage time is 90 seconds (before penalties). Exceeding this results in DNF (“Did Not Finish”) listing.

Competitors will be removed for violating any of the following:

1. Breaking any of the Four Safety Rules:
