*updated in last post* July Rifle / Carbine Match

[john doe]

July's match will be very similar to June's.

There will be three separate squads with mandatory safety meetings @ 9:00 AM, 12:15 PM, and 3:00 PM at the 100 yard range.

This event is welcoming to new competitors but the 3:00 PM slot will be a smaller group specifically tailored for anyone who has never been to a competition or organized shoot and may feel like they may get lost or be in the way of more frequent participants.

Each participant must know how to safely operate their rifle before attending.

Limited slots available and pre-registration required (see bottom of this page)

Shooters move through the Course of Fire one at a time.
Shooting positions include standing, kneeling, prone, SBU prone.
No running required: There will be changes in shooting position and stations, but they are less than 20 feet apart.

Detailed Course of Fire Info:

Exact CoF will be explained after the safety meeting before shoot begins. There is no need to memorize it before the event day.
There will be approximately 25 targets, most at 100 yards and a few as close as 50 yards.
Target size will vary from 14" x 30" IDPA style silhouettes to uhh much smaller. I won't throw anything out there less than 4 MOA though.
Each Target must be hit twice. Zero holes in target is two misses, one hole in target is one miss.
You decide how many shots to take at each target.
Each shooting station/position will have designated target groups.
Scoring is raw time plus penalties for no-shoots and Misses.
Shooters move through the course of fire one at a time.
Shooting positions include standing, kneeling, prone, SBU prone.
Each transition and station change willl require shooter to engage safety, remove magazine, and clear chamber.
Magazines may be dropped, but you will need one for each shooting positions if you drop them (4 or 5 total)
Magazines may be staged at each or some of the shooting positions if one doesn't wish wish to carry them or if one lacks the pockets or rigs to do so.
