If you sign up and don't show up, you took a slot from someone and they didn't get to shoot. That isn't cool. Make a habit of doing that and you might find it hard to sign up.
All centerfire calibers from 223 - 300 Win Mag are legal. 3200 fps speed limit. No bullet weight restrictions.
No tracer or steel core ammo allowed. If a magnet sticks to it, leave it at home. You will not like the $500 fine for using the above and I wont like my targets getting torn up.
Eye protection is required at all times while on the range.
The new 600 yard format will change things up a little bit. At 615, 300, 410, 500, 615, 615 and 390 yards there will be a bank of targets. A large target and a small target. When shooting prone you will shoot the small target. If you are not shooting prone, you will shoot the large target. Simple as that.
The 600 yard Certification is required for everyone. It is a one time deal and can be accomplished the day of the match. Contact me for details.
For now, we will still have the same positions (prone, ruck, sticks, and ??? of the day)
Three divisions. Semi-Auto, Bolt/Manual Action and He-Man. He-Man is 308 or larger.
Total round count is 56. 14 shots per position/stage. 90 seconds max.
Start position for all strings will be bolt closed for most strings, however the start position could vary. When the buzzer goes off shooter will engage all seven targets in no more than 90 seconds. Hit or miss the shooter will advance to the next target. Like the prairie dog matches of days gone by, only hits count. There is no penalty for misses.
Shooting sticks may have one, two or three points of contact and saddles may be used. You may not be any lower than sitting.
While shooting off a pack, no part of the rifle may touch the ground.
While shooting prone, a bi-pod or tri-pod may be used.
The "Position of the month" details will be given at the range on match day and will vary from month to month.
If you can not comply with a shooting positions criteria, you can shoot it however you want but hits will only be worth half (5 vs 10 points) value.
There is no minimum age limit. It is up to you as the parent to decide what is too young.
Slings will not be required, but could be very helpful.
