Side Event: There will also be a side event of 5-shot groups from the bench at 300 yards on paper targets measuring the extreme spread of the group. All five shots must be on the target to count.

Support: When cross-sticks are used, they may be shot in the prone, sitting, kneeling or standing position. If any shooter (especially women, juniors & seniors) feels that they can't safely fire from the unsupported offhand position, then they will be allowed to use standing cross-sticks. If you have any cross-sticks, pads to sit on or spotting scopes, bring them!

Come on out and "bang and clang" with us. We have a deep covered firing line and will shoot year around unless the weather is so bad we can't see the targets.

Eye and ear protection is required for everyone, including spectators, while on the range!
