ASI Rulebook Update: Revision 2.5 (2026)
Quick highlights from this year’s updates:
• Updated philosophy to emphasize firearm handling skills.
• Safety, equipment, and glossary sections cleaned up for clarity.
• Scoring reorganized; new rule: hits may never be removed as a penalty.
• Target descriptions simplified; USPSA/IPSC references consolidated.
• Range commands clarified, especially around start positions.
• Prop use rewritten for clearer expectations.
• Black tape dividing scoring zones is not hard cover.
• Reshoot rules updated to reflect real‑world RO practice.
Thanks to everyone who contributed feedback—your input shaped these improvements.

We are pleased to announce the updates to the ASI Rulebook in Revision 2.4. The following changes have been made to enhance clarity, protect equipment, and improve the overall understanding of our rules:

Safety:
Added a carriage return to remove the orphan of clause 1 for clarity.
Disqualification:
New Rule 1.3.6: Intentionally damaging range equipment or props will result in disqualification. (Reason: Protect range equipment from vandalism.)
Clarifications:
Rule 5.3: Removed duplicate phrase "For example."
Rule 5.8: Placed subject clause "Steel" at the start of the sentence for better clarity.
Rule 5.10: Changed wording from "shooting" to "shots are" for conciseness.
Rule 5.14: Added "or penalty target" to ensure visibility of penalty targets to avoid shooting them.
Kneeling:
Rule 6.6: Added "as specified by the CoF" to clarify when kneeling is the only location and is the start position.

More reloading supplies

Along with the smokeless powder from yesterday, we also got a random box full of primers. Most of the primers are from CCI (Cascade Cartridge Inc.)

Couldn’t find an exact list of package age on the Internet but assembled some information from the various reloading communities.

In the picture, the newest primers are on top. The green boxes on the bottom of the picture are from the 70’s. The red and white magnum rifle primers are from the mid 80’s (I remember selling CCI products as a teen with this color pattern). The red and beige packaging is from the 90’s and the large blue package is from the 2000’s.

The packaging size change was in response to shipping rule changes that required spacing between the primers. In the older packaging the primers are “in bulk” and touch each other.

Look at the pricing! .69 cents for 100. Primers now days are 6 to 8 bucks for 100 or more!

Somedays I feel really old…

Successful RO class -- with surprises!
Renton Fish & Game club (in Renton, Washington) hosted a range officer course this weekend with ASI's head trainer, Mike Meisner. To everyone's surprise, Meisner brought ASI Co-Founder Robin Taylor in support! Here the two men smile at the camera during the live fire phase of the course. Additionally, ASI had the honor to train well-known fi****ms author Duane Thomas (with the camera, below). If you're interested in getting trained to be an ASI RO, send e-mail to [email protected] .
