Vendor Area

  1. Vendors (i.e. individuals, corporations and other entities displaying or selling merchandise at an USPSA match) are solely responsible for the safe handling and security of their products, and ensuring they are displayed in a condition that must not endanger any person. It is recommended that assembled firearms be deactivated prior to being displayed.
  2. The Range Master (in consultation with the Match Director) must clearly delineate the vendor area, and he may issue “Acceptable Practice Guidelines” to all vendors, who are responsible for their implementation in respect of their own merchandise.
  3. Competitors may handle unloaded vendor’s firearms while remaining wholly within the vendor areas, provided reasonable care is taken to ensure that the muzzle is not pointed at any person while being handled.
  4. Competitors must not draw or re-holster their competition handguns in the vendor area (see Rule 10.5.1). Competitors seeking gunsmithing services for their competition handguns must first place them in a gun bag or gun case, in a designated Safety Area, before passing them to a vendor in the vendor area.
