$10 per rifle entry fee.

Third Saturday of every month, year round. 9:00 and 1:00. There is no August match due to the State 4H Championship that uses the 425 yard range that we normally use.

Each competitor will shoot all 10 targets in four separate strings requiring no more than 40 rounds total for the match.

One shot per target. No make up shots.

No penalties for misses. Only points earned for hits.

15 total seconds allowed per shot.

Targets hit within the first 10 seconds are worth 10 points. Hits between 10.01 seconds and 15.00 seconds are worth 5 points. If the competitor does not take a shot before 15.01 seconds or shoots after 15.01 seconds, it is a 10 point penalty, hit or miss.

Shooters start prone behind rifle with bolt/action open. Semi auto shooters start with bolt open or safety on.

As of 2013 the caliber rules have changed. The max velocity for all bullet weights is 3,200 fps and no more than 30 caliber. Sorry, still no 338 Lapuas allowed. For the 22 division, only 22 Long Rifle is allowed. No 17s or 22 magnums.

Steel Core, Armor-Piercing and Tracer ammo *NOT* allowed. $100 fine per target that is damaged with above ammo. If you are shooting ammo that you did not load, check it with a magnet to make sure it isnt steel core. Steel core will destroy my targets and you wont be happy when **YOU** have to spend a grand or more replacing it all. In addition to getting 86'ed from the match/range.

Match re-entries are allowed.

The match starts at 9:00 and again at 1:00. The 9:00 match has 20 slots. Once those 20 slots are filled, everyone else will shoot the 1:00 match. The week prior to the match you need to send Chris an email telling him which match you plan on shooting.
