6 Fun Days Chukar Shoot The goal of the Fun Days Chukar shoot is to allow individuals and/or dogs, new to the event, an opportunity to gain exposer while allowing seasoned handlers a chance to refine their skills. The Fun Days Chukar shoot rules are simplified from the standard rules and are intended to help make the event fun and educational while maintaining the structure and intent. Fun Days Chukar Shoot rules: Summary: Brace is 15 minutes. The goal is harvest three Chukars using the least number of shots and time. Detailed: 1) Clock starts once handler or dog crosses into the field 2) Only 3 birds per brace. Additional birds will not count. The clock will stop and the handler must exit the field upon the 3rd birds flush and completion (harvested or missed). 3) Your run is over when the last bird is in hand and your dog is under control. Or, when the allotted time runs out. 4) Scores are based on the time to harvest 3 birds, and the number of shots used. 5) Any shots after 6 will be counted as penalty and time added 6) Retrieves are not required to score a bird. 7) Any shots at designated Safe Zone, Gallery, Judge, Dog, Blind etc., will result in immediate DQ from event. 8) A safety can be called by the Hunter or Judge. 9) Upon exiting the field, the handler must produce any birds, shots to be counted, towards a score. Except for birds that have had Safeties granted. 10) Your gun is to always to be unloaded with actions open. The only time your gun is to be loaded is at the starting gate, and while actively hunting in the field. When your run is over, you will unload your gun before exiting the field.

Birds may not be shot on the ground; all shots must be in an upward direction.
