I shot in a classifier this weekend, and a debate started that I hope you can clarify. On stage 3, the disagreement was on the use of the barricade.
One side of the debate claimed that your feet must remain behind the barricade, planted in a box 24” wide, with the shooter leaning progressively farther out as the targets are engaged.
The other side claimed that the shooter merely had to keep his legs behind cover, as viewed by the target being engaged. That is, as long as the lower body was invisible from the target’s point of view, and the shooter leans out to engage the target, the shooter is considered to be behind cover. This would allow the shooter to step to one side as each target is neutralized.
Which is correct?
