Starting with the PCC in the prescribed start position, but with the laser on and pointing at a target, then shooting that target from the start position is legal, as long as it’s done safely. Pointing the laser is aiming and is no different than hip shooting a close target with a handgun.
Help me out here. Where and when can a handgun start pointing at a target at hip level? For that matter, when does a handgun start with an established grip?
and then this,
treat the competitors who choose to shoot it fairly and equitably with all the others.
