All firing will be from benchrest with front and rear supports allowed – no one piece supports. Scopes or iron sights are allowed, but will not be separate classes.
There is no limit to the number of rounds fired during the ten minute sighter period. The sighters will be fired on a designated bull on the paper target. There will be no more sighters fired after the sighter period.
Each string for score will consist of five rounds on a paper target, then five rounds on a first bankof steel targets, then five rounds on a second bank of smaller steel targets. A separate paper bull will be used for each string. Eight minutes will be allowed for each string.
Targets for the match will be selected by the Match Director and may be varied from match to match. Shooters will be notified which targets will be used when the Match Director announcement is made on the club website.
The initial match will be fired on 50 foot small bore paper targets, the first bank of steel on 1.25” square steel, and the second bank on 1” square steel. Paper targets will be scored by scoring rings. The first bank of steel will be scored three points for each target knocked off the rail. The second bank will be scored five points for each target knocked off. The steel targets
must be completely off the rail.
All firing will be with .22 LR. Entries will be in three classes. Pistol, Hunter Rifle, and Standard Rifle. Competition will be separate for each class. All firing for each class will be at one distance: 50m for pistol, 60m for Hunter Rifle, and 75m for Standard Rifle. Super Standard rifles will be allowed in the Standard Rifle class.
Score cards will be provided for shooting as described. Steel targets will be marked on the score card at the end of each string. Paper targets will be scored after all strings are completed. Scores will be posted by the Match Director shortly after the match. There are no awards, just bragging rights and fun.
