Which groups must be named on the entry form before the first shot in a team match?

• A. The Team Coaches, all firing members, and alternate firing members.
• B. Only the Team Coaches
• C. Only the firing members
• D. The Chief Range Officer

Answer: (A)

In a team shooting match, the entry form needs the full roster of everyone involved with the team on competition day. That means the people who will shoot, any substitute shooters (alternates), and the coaches who supervise the team. Recording all of them before the first shot ensures officials know who is participating, can verify eligibility, and can assign scoring and substitutions accurately. It also supports safety oversight and accountability, since coaches are on the firing line and responsible for the team’s conduct, while alternates may step in if a shooter can’t continue. The Chief Range Officer is an event official rather than a team member, so they aren’t required to be named on the team’s entry form. Including only some groups would leave gaps in the roster, whereas listing coaches, firing members, and alternates covers everyone involved in the match.
