Misfires, Jams and Other Problems
If a shooter has a jam, a misfire or other condition that prevents him or her from shooting, the shooter must raise his hand to alert the range officer. The round will be allowed to proceed until the shooter who did not face equipment difficulties clears his or her table, at which point the range officer will whistle the event over.
The range officer will then approach the impaired shooter and endeavour to clear the jam or unsafe condition. The range officer may or may not release the unimpaired shooter during this inspection. While a shooter’s impairment is being examined and corrected, the line is considered “hot,” and no person may go forward of the line.
When the jam or unsafe condition is remedied to the range officer’s satisfaction, the range officer will resume the order of commands noted above.

Famous quotes containing the word problems:
“While the onset of puberty can vary by as much as six years, every adolescent wants to be right on the 50-yard line, right in the middle of the field. One is always too tall, too short, too thin, too fat, too hairy, too clear-skinned, too early, too late. Understandably, problems of self-image are rampant.”
—Joan Lipsitz (20th century)
