You need to bring a squire with you. He carries the shotgun in a sheath at all times except during a stage. You cannot make eye contact with him at any time during the match, that's a DQ. When it is your turn to shoot, you approach the shooting position, head held high and shout out "SHOTGUN BOY". Your squire approaches and kneels before you, presenting the shotgun, still in sheath to you by the buttstock. You grab the buttstock, but do not draw it out with your arms, that's a DQ. You must place your right foot on the squires right shoulder and push them away, releasing the shotgun from the sheath. The squire shuffles away and stands to the side. You are now ready to shoot the stage. Once the stage is complete, facing down range you hold the shotgun vertically with the muzzle down straight off to your right side and shout "SHEATH". You squire approaches and kneels and raises the sheath to cover the shotgun. You then release the shotgun and turn to your left, ensuring that you do not look directly at the squire as he shuffles off to stand waiting along to the side until the next stage.
