Range E
Gate opens at 7
AM
I will be there before 7:00 AM to set up targets HELP WILL BE
APPRECIATED.
Registration will
begin at 8:00 Am
Safety meeting at
8:30 is mandatory. The match will be run as a “fun match” but safety
will apply at all times. Eye and hearing protection is required on
SCSSA ranges. If you are not a member of SCSSA you must have a
signed SCSSA liability waiver on file to shoot.
The match entry fee will be $15. This match fee will allow us to pay
for target stands, pay SCSSA $5 for each shooter, and build up an
operating fund for future range developments.
NRA BPCR
Silhouette rules will apply whenever possible.
1st relay starts
at 9:00 A.M. Each relay will be ten targets.
Until we can make
the range improvements for a prone firing line the pigs at 300 yards
and the rams at 440 yards will be shot at off of the benches so
bring a rest and stool to sit on. This will give every one an
opportunity to get familiar with their rifles and loads. We will
shoot the chickens at 200 yards offhand.
Awards at this
time will be bragging rights for 1st place in each category.
