Summary of Rule and Event Conditions Changes for 2013
Rule changes are all in the GR&P book indicated with the margin bars. There are no major changes and some rules have been clarified more than anything. Summary of the changes are listed here.
Foot fault lines
Foot fault lines and their use have been clarified. Foot fault lines can be parallel to or perpendicular to the targets – the latter being the case when shooting around a post or barricade. Generally feet can be on but not over a line.
Barricades
Competitors shoot around a barricade or post. Foot fault lines are back from the the leading edge of the barricade – perpendicular to the target. Use of these foot fault lines is as described above and in the book.
Targets and target boards.
No decoration of targets and target boards with random bits of anything. Targets can and will be identified by numbers and possible colour coding only.

The current rankings are now available up to and including the 2013 SAW. These are based on the best 4 scores from a 12 month rolling calendar with the year end AAW each year. This makes it easier to follow, for example after SAW 2013 the SAW 2012 scores will drop off. All results are on the sheets even those who have not shot four matches. This will allow everyone see what their lowest score is to improve on and check that they have 4 eligible.
