At this time shooters may unholster their weapons, load them, and reholster in addition to making any other preparations that need to make before shooting. Each shooter will signal that they are ready to the Range Officer by raising their right hand. Once all shooters on the line have signaled that they are ready the RO will give a command to stand by. At this time shooters should immediately be alert for the start command. The shooter may stand in any manner that they desire at this time, but their hands may not touch their holster or weapon until the start command is given.
