Hi All,
The new rule books are now approved and I am advised that they are effective now. They are available on the home page of this web site as well as on SSAA National Web site.
Fly_Shoot_Rule_book___No.pdfSSAA_Standard_Rules-no.pdf
Some of the additions are as follows:
300m now included as a practice for QLD licensing.
If a magazine is used it is only for single rounds. (Previously not specifically stated, mainly for Rimfire).
Bipods specifically prohibited for HG.
Additional Shots on a target clearly defined.
Lost target procedures defined.
Hall Of Fame introduced.
Proficiency Awards introduced.
Screamer Patch introduced
You will note that Section 2 (the SSAA Standard Rules) is now a separate document so it can be updated annually without affecting the different Discipline rulebooks.
A lot of other things have been more clearly defined and should see less grey areas or things that are open to interpretation.
I would advise all competitors to take a few minutes and read both rule books.
Cheers
Anthony
