ECI at Connaught

[Turbulent Turtle]

As I make preparations for the 2017 Worlds at Connaught, I'm wondering about ECI and rules for the rifles off the line at Connaught. I've heard (but of course now can't find) about removing bolts and other measures. What are the rules there now? I usually have about a half dozen or so of various ECIs with me, but I just want to be ready.

Chamber flags are highly desired. You should have time between now and then to pick one up, but if not you can buy one at the DCRA office when you get here.

Just as a note, the Range Officers had a pretty scary experience last year with a flag cut so short that a round could still be in the chamber. PLEASE do not cut your chamber flags down.

Chamber flag, ECI (Empty Chamber Indicator,) OBI (Open Bolt Indicator,) all various names for the same thing. All the ones I've seen are yellow. Thanks for the quick reply, I just had visions of carrying a bolt around.

Some venues supply one in the competitor's packet. I picked up a few with some logos on them over the years.

Leave the rifle on the ground until cleared by the Range Officer.

They're not going to put a sticker on it, are they?

I sure am. I ordered extra sticky ones this year.
