Stage with rifle to pistol transition
I am working some stages for a local match and would like to include a transition in a couple of them. The shooter would start with an empty rifle that would simulate a malfunction. At the buzzer, the shooter will come up on target and get a click then transition(using a sling). Once the pistol targets are cleared, the shooter will reholster and then load the rifle and engage the rifle targets.
Are there any safety concerns that jump out at anyone?

My goal was to get people thinking about and practicing a transition safely and correctly. The more I think about shooting matches and having to stage firearms (tables, barrels, etc...) the more I think there is a missed opportunity increasing proficiency. Not at the expense of safety though.
I dont compete but I want to. Waiting on a good shotgun. One observation though...which is in line with your post is the barrel/box thing.
I always thought it was odd. I understand safety is paramount...but I always like the thought of practicing for real events. Usings slings or holsters instead of dumping a mag into a box or leaving the weapon on a table. Then again, having never competed I guess I am talking out of my ass.
I like your idea. I hope you can work it out.
