Could this read: 'All cards must be signed
BEFORE they are shot by the shooter and the appointed .....'
Just a thought.

I understand ( from what you described to me) that you have a difficult situation to resolve with not being able to see the shooter when he is shooting his cards due to the layout at your particular club.
Here are my thoughts that may be helpful - but your club will need to make the final "modus operandi" for yourselves as you will understand what works for you the best, and you already have some experience about how you witness the postal league cards your club members already shoot.
Each club must satisfy themselves that the cards are being shot fairly - so you may like to witness the pistol type and the competitor name declared on the card prior to shooting or entering the range, but you cannot witness the score until after the card is shot.
Alternatively you could just take the cards from the competitor as he or she leaves the range in the normal way - but checking the pistol type used to make sure the cards are scored correctly. This would be simple and easy.
If you issue the competition cards on the night just prior to them being shot I am sure this will work well and create the least amount of work for you.
Each club will have it's own individual circumstance to work within, and every competition like this involves a fair bit of trust on behalf of every competitor, so I am sure you will resolve it in the way that works best for you at Rivington.
