Division Requirements
All Divisions:
• Eye and ear protection is required by all shooters, and spectators.
• All firearms must be between 9mm (9×19) and .45 (.452″) caliber
• Firearms equipped with a manual safety, must start with the safety engaged.
• Firearms with a decocking lever or button will be decocked using the lever or button.
• Selective DA/SA firearms will start hammer down unless it is equipped with a manual safety that can be engaged when cocked.
• Firearms designed for cocked and locked carry will start cocked and locked (hammer cocked, safety engaged).
• Shooters may only start a stage with 3 magazines, speed loaders, or other ammunition feeding devices. (One in the firearm, and two on their waist.)
• Extra ammunition feeding devices (magazines, speed loaders, moon clips, etc.) must be carried in such a way that they are within 1″ of the shooter’s body, except in the Race Pistol division.
• Ammunition may be lead or jacketed, and may be factory or handloads. Incendiary, steel core, or armor piercing ammunition is not allowed.
• There will be no distinction between major or minor power factors in scoring.
• Reactive steel targets will be calibrated to be actuated by a hit in the scoring area by a cartridge/gun combination producing a power factor of 125, or greater. If a shooter feels that a reactive target failed to operate properly, immediately upon completing the stage, and after unloading and showing clear, the shooter may request that the target be tested by a match official. If the target proves to be calibrated correctly the shooter’s time will stand. If the target is indeed out of calibration, it will be corrected and the shooter may reshoot the stage.
• If a reactive target actuates without being hit (eg. from the wind or from the target stand/frame being shot) the Range Officer will stop the shooter and the shooter will be required to shoot the stage from the beginning. Please bring enough ammunition to allow for this.
Holsters
• Holsters must be of types commonly used for daily carry, and must not be “competition” or “race” type holster, except in the Race Pistol division. Holsters with open fronts that allow the pistol to be canted forward before the muzzle clears the top of the holster are only permitted in the Race Pistol division.

Stock Pistol Division:
• Firearm must be semi-automatic.
• Sights may be changed to another notch and post type but slides may not be machined to accept different style sights.
• Shooters must start each stage with 10 rounds in each magazines (or to magazine capacity, whichever is less), and one additional round loaded in the barrel/chamber.
• Firearms may have reasonably sized add-on magazine well openings. They must be sized small enough to be generally accepted as reasonable for daily concealed carry. Over sized ‘competition style’ magwells will be moved to the Race Pistol division. Final determination of concealable vs race equipment will be made by the match director.
• Compensated firearms with or without compensated barrels installed, are not permitted.
• Aftermarket slides are not permitted.
• Internal enhancements such as trigger jobs and aftermarket guide rods are permitted, as well as aftermarket barrels provided the barrels are the same length as the original barrel. Minor enhancements such as skateboard tape, cross-hatching or dimpling of the grip areas are also acceptable.
• In order to level the playing field among firearms in this division, extended magazines which will allow a firearm to be loaded with up to 10+1 rounds, are specifically approved.
The intent is for this class to be limited to firearms that would be commonly accepted as a factory configuration carry gun, with only minor enhancements. If the match director feels that a firearm violates this intent by having features that are commonly excepted as “Race Gun” or Competition only” enhancements, the director may at his discretion require the shooter to be moved to the Race Pistol division.
Race Pistol:
• Firearm must be semi-automatic.
• Shooters must start each stage with 3 magazines (one in the gun, and two on the shooter) loaded with 10 rounds (or to magazine capacity, whichever is less), and one additional round loaded in the barrel/chamber.

FWP Public Listening Session
To Whom It May Concern:
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is beginning a process, ’15 and Forward, to evaluate our vision and goals, which will help us set priorities for the next 10 years. This is something we must do periodically to be effective as our challenges and opportunities change, and it’s been nearly two decades since FWP last took such a comprehensive look.
Your input is critical to this evaluation process. FWP would like to understand if we are meeting your needs, what we can do to serve you better, and get your thoughts on FWP priorities for the next 10 years. We will be hosting a public listening session in Miles City on Thursday, July 23rd and invite you to contribute and hope you will attend.
Please find attached a formal invitation with additional information and specific details for this event. If you will join us, an RSVP is kindly requested by July 21 to Erin at eoconnor@mt.gov or 234-0912.
