In this type of competition, how are the long guns stored until they are used on the firing line? Hope that doesn't sound like a stupid question.
Not a stupid question at all. The rules on the OKCgunclub site list all of that out. They can be bagged between stages or carried muzzle up and chamber open. Muzzle up and empty, open chamber when heading to the line (except on stages where the RO authorizes pre-load, then it is safety on and chamber empty and closed). We will take care of all the new folks and explain things and keep you all out of trouble..
