SAFETY
(a) All guns must be immediately opened upon removal from a gun rack or car to determine that they are indeed empty.
(b) All guns carried on or about the shooting ground must be held in a position of safety, with the breech open and unloaded at all times. Gun sleeves and slings are not permitted in any ACTA discipline.
(c) Shooting on the grounds at any place other than the firing point at legitimate targets only is prohibited except where a pattern plate is installed, and then only with permission of Club Management.
(d) Firing the gun in any position other than orthodox, i.e. to the shoulder, is prohibited (with the exception of a physical disability). Any shooter firing a gun from any position other than orthodox will be immediately suspended by the Club Management and reported in writing to the Executive Committee – a minimum penalty of three months suspension shall apply.
(e) All guns must remain fully open until the result of the previous target has been called. The shooter must immediately open the gun upon having fired at the target. They must not move, attempt to turn around or move back up their shooting lane until their gun has been opened.
(f) Shooters experiencing a misfire or malfunction must remain with their gun pointed in the direction of the trap house until the referee arrives to adjudicate. See Rule 1.19.14, & 5.5(f)
(g) When competing, the shooter will not insert a cartridge in their gun until they are on the shooting station. All cartridges must be removed from a gun upon the red signal at any trap house, or if any official approaches the trap houses on that layout.
(h) The competitor’s gun must remain fully open until all persons on the shooting tracks have withdrawn to a handicap mark at least equal to their own.
(i) Release trigger guns shall not be left in gun racks or in positions where they can be handled, but shall be constantly under the control and supervision of the user and shall be labelled as per Rule 1.4(b)(iii).
(j) All reloads must comply with shot shell component manufacturer’s recommended specifications. Shooters exceeding the recommended data shall be deemed to be in breach of the safety regulations.

(l) Any shooter committing an unsportsmanlike or unsafe act on the shooting ground shall be liable to suspension or disqualification.

(n) Mobile Phones or like devices must not be audible during competition.
(o) Hearing and eye protection is strongly recommended for all ACTA disciplines whilst present at the firing point or trap area.
(p) A gun must not be used that will accept more than one gauge of cartridge at the same time and a gun must not be loaded with different gauge ammunition.
