2. Must have held an NSCA registered Shoot
3. Must complete the shoot spplication and submit to the PSCA shoot coordinator at least 1 month prior to the Annual state meeting - held at the state shoot
4. Must be selected by popular vote at the annual meeting (Balloting will be available all weekend and close at the annual meeting - when ballots will be counted)
5. After winning the vote - The host club must hold 3 100 target events, or the equivalent of 3 100 target events with a minimum of 1 100 target events. (ie. 4-50s with 1-100)
   This requirement must be met in the following years:
   1. The year the club applies for the zone shoot.
   2. The year prior to hosting the zone shoot.

    Concurrents will be eligible for both class and concurrent prizes providing the full entry fee is paid, and they are eligible in both concurrent and class.

    • Shoot-off policies and schedules need to be established and well posted prior the beginning of the shoot.
    • Prominant Shoot-off Board stating Who, When and where
    • Pre-determined course of fire
    • An area not involved in the days shooting
    • 3 Pair - would be recomended
    • Try to deal with the Shoot-off as early as possible (Prelims on Friday or Saturday)
    • Would be cool to be lighted - gives more flexiblilty on the time.

15. The shooting ground owner or promoter shall be required to furnish insurance for the event and a certificate of insurance will be on hand at the time of the shoot. This insurance will be the responsibility of the owner/promoter and not the PSCA.

    (Including the shoot-off structure and the final winning of the event).

25. There should be water at LEAST every third station regardless of distance between stations.
26. b) There shall be rest rooms (portable facilities) set up at no less than three locations on the course. This is not to preclude the placing of facilities at the 5-stand location or the FITASC parcours.

27. There should be a gun rack at each shooting station

28. There should be some place to sit down at each station

29. Shooting boxes are to be constructed to prevent a chance injury. (i.e., boxes that can tip over, have bad flooring, etc. Boxes, which are poorly constructed, should not be used).

30. Considerations: Not rules - just thoughts
    • Rain: Trap protection, weather resistant score card and control sheets, traction
    • Hot & Dry: More water, dust control, shade
    • Medical Support: First Aid kits, inquire about skills on hand, alert EMS of event.
    • Food: Money to be made from a kitchen - also keeps shooters happy
    • Course Trail: Carts have become a standard, it would be nice:
      1. Have a 2 groove path
      2. Not have to back-up
      3. Have the trail be safe at all times
      4. Not have the shooters waiting on the path
