Rules

Official ASI-USA Rule Book

ASI, LLC strives for stability in its rules, but occasionally a line or two will change.

dynamic environment using a minimum of equipment. ASI is a sport first and always.
Depending on the legal parameters of your area, you may add or subtract practical themes to
suit your particular desires. Whether you’re just shooting for fun, or wish to practice
competition skills, our events make room for shooters with diverse purposes in mind.

Summary of Rulebook Changes: Revision 2.4

We are pleased to announce the updates to the ASI Rulebook in Revision 2.4. The following changes have been made to enhance clarity, protect equipment, and improve the overall experience and understanding of our rules:

Safety:
  • Added a carriage return to remove the orphan of clause 1 for clarity.
Disqualification:
  • New Rule 1.3.6: Intentionally damaging range equipment or props will result in disqualification. (Reason: Protect range equipment from vandalism.)
Clarifications:
  • Rule 5.3: Removed duplicate phrase “For example.”
  • Rule 5.8: Placed subject clause “Steel” at the start of the sentence for better clarity.
  • Rule 5.10: Changed wording from “shooting” to “shots are” for conciseness.
  • Rule 5.14: Added “or penalty target” to ensure visibility of penalty targets to avoid shooting them.
Kneeling:
  • Rule 6.6: Added “as specified by the CoF” to clarify when kneeling is the only location and is the start position.

ASI Policy on SIG Sauer P320 Firearms

Policy Overview
Apart from a few restrictions on highly competitive firearm equipment, ASI delegates decisions regarding suitable and safety of firearms to individual clubs. This policy remains unchanged: each hosting club is responsible for ensuring the safety and suitability of equipment used at their range or during their program events.

Ban on SIG Sauer P320 at ASI Events
Some ASI programs have chosen to disallow the use of SIG Sauer P320 firearms at their events. ASI fully supports these decisions and permits each program to implement its own rules concerning firearms or calibers as necessary. Local program guidelines may override to exceed ASI’s general safety and equipment standards, and it is up to those local programs to enforce their chosen policies.

Commitment to Safety
ASI is committed to maintaining the safety of all members, competitors, staff, and spectators. Given the increasing concerns from ranges and other organizations, many of which have opted to limit or prohibit the P320, ASI has clarified its position through this policy. ASI will not attempt to resolve technical debates about the SIG Sauer P320 or its variants, recognizing that the organization’s expertise in this area is limited.
