from the BASF operations and procedures manual. HSC event sponsors: when designing
your shooting match, read through these rules to determine if you may be inadvertently
violating any of them. Notice that they are written with some room for negotiation,
subject to Rangemaster approval. Don't be shy about talking to a BASF Rangemaster
