I will be there before
8:00 AM to set up targets HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.

Please arrive early enough to unload your equipment before the
mandatory safety meeting at
8:30. The first round will need to be fired at
9:00 Am.
The match entry fee will be $25. This match fee will help pay for
the new target stands, range improvements, and pay SCSSA $5 for each
shooter.
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. I will have the forms at the match.
NRA BPCR Silhouette rules will apply whenever possible.
Each relay will be 4 shooters at 1 bank of ten targets. You will
need 40 rounds plus sighters. Bring a lunch and water, come prepared
to stay all day, 4 relays may take from
9am to
3pm.
We will be shooting Chickens off hand at 200 yards.
the pigs at 300 yards, turkeys at 385 yards and rams at 440 yards
will be shot from a prone or sitting position on the concrete pad
between the bench rest tables. Bring a shooting pad and cross
sticks. The rams are a full size target for 500 yards but until we
can get a berm at 500 yards we will shoot them at 440 yards.
Awards at this time will be bragging rights for 1st place.
