Didn't you hear? MOD will soon require all combat personnel to carry their rifles mag off, bolt out, a safety flag in the breech and individually proved clear by their sect ldr before moving to the next firing position. It's due to take effect the day after the national hammer ban and a week after the ban on handloads at Bisley.channel12 wrote:Perhaps your club officals could tell the military that safety catches can't be relied on because hundreds of soldiers do rundowns on at Bisley that way. Maybe you think the soldiers should bag their rifles first before running and also not carry their rifles slung on their shoulders after being cleared off the point?HALODIN wrote:Blimey you have a very different set of rules at Bisley compared to our local club. I was taught a safety isn't to be relied upon. I'm sure it's safe enough, but it's a different culture.

No...unless you're practicing a run-down...obviously.HALODIN wrote:Apart from in competitions, do some clubs allow people forward of the firing point whilst the guns are loaded, but the safety catches are on?
It is cool, great fun, and its been going on for years.HALODIN wrote:Just seemed a bit odd, I've never seen anything like that in UK civilian shooting before. Looks cool though.
