| How We Run Things |
~ WHO'S WELCOME ~ Anyone and everyone who's interested, regardless of experience, to shoot or just to watch. We actively recruit new shooters, but... this is NOT the place to learn to shoot a gun. We insist that you have at least SOME shooting experience. Shooters under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. |
|
~ THE MATCH ~
Registration opens at 11:00.
Matches are shot on the outdoor range, regardless of weather. The firing line is covered, but not heated - wear appropriate clothing. All ammunition must be 22 Rimfire Short, Long, or Long Rifle.
All shots are taken standing offhand. Junior shooters (under 16 years old) may use a rest. Any sights are allowed. The sights you choose will partially determine the Division you compete in. (See DIVISIONS below.) Slings are allowed. ALL MAGAZINES WILL BE LOADED WITH EIGHT ROUNDS ONLY. Shooters should have enough magazines or speedloaders to shoot an entire relay of five stations.
The Match will be shot in several RELAYS, each of which consists of two ROTATIONS, with each rotation having five STATIONS, and each station having eight TARGETS, for a total of 80 shots per relay. Relays are shot in SQUADS of 15 shooters - first come, first served. (i.e. The first 15 shooters to sign up will shoot in the first squad, the next 15 in the second squad, etc.) Since a squad of 15 shooters should be able to complete a two rotation relay in 55 minutes, a new relay will start every hour, on the hour. Once a shooter has completed a relay, they may sign up to shoot the next available relay. In order to reduce confusion and allow sufficient time and attention to detail, shooters who are guiding a Junior shooter through the course of fire may not shoot in the same relay as the Junior. A shooter will be allowed to guide only one Junior in each relay. Each 8-target station must be completed in 15 seconds. Juniors are NOT limited to 15 seconds; they are allowed as much time as they need to get off their eight shots. |
|
~ PROCEDURE ~
Each shooter will go to the line starting at Station 1. Once the shooter completes Station 1, they will move on to shoot Station 2, and a new shooter will take position at Station 1. This will continue, with shooters moving up one Station and adding each new shooter at Station 1, until each shooter has shot all of the stations. There will be no break between the last shooter in the rotation and the first shooter of the following rotation. Once all registered shooters have shot all five stations twice, the relay is complete. |
|
~ RANGE COMMANDS ~
SHOOTERS WILL DO NOTHING AT THE FIRING LINE EXCEPT BY COMMAND OF THE RO (Range Officer)

|
~ TAG TEAM MATCH ~
Shooters who wish to participate will be divided into five-person teams. Teams will be determined by drawing tokens from a hat. Each team will line up on the firing line, with each shooter having an open and empty gun and one or more magazines loaded with five rounds each. At the signal, the first shooter will load and engage the targets of their choice, knocking down as many plates as they can with their five rounds. The shooter will then drop their magazine, clear their gun, and "tag" the next shooter in line. The next shooter will then load and fire, also knocking down as many plates as he or she can with their five rounds. Each shooter will repeat the sequence until all 40 targets are down. If the last team shooter empties his gun and there are still targets left standing, the sequence will move back to the first shooter in line, and continue as necessary. The team with the shortest time wins. $1.00 per shooter to enter. |
