As of now the match is for free, so there is no reason not to join. But if there is a large or growing interest in these matches, then a small fee of say $3.00 or so might be charged in the future in order for us to award prizes. The prizes would be distributed by a drawing and not related to participants scores.

Targets and Distances
The distance from the target should be set at 50 ft.

All targets used must be either official NRA targets or be designed to NRA specifications. Targets must match both the type of shooting and the distance.

50 foot slow fire: B-2
50 foot rapid: B-3

You must supply your own targets.

Match Procedures
Each match will consist of 10 shots fired at each individual target:

Procedure for slow fire targets:
Fire ten shots in ten minutes at the target.

A Range Officer or other helper, and a suitable timing device should be used to time your 10-second strings.

Procedures in Case of Defective Cartridge, or Malfunction.
In the event of a defective cartridge, disabled pistol, or malfunction, the shooter should re-shoot the event. If a jam acures in the slow fire event and the shooter has enough time to clear the jam and continue shooting they may still use that target as an entry but no extra time should be awarded to clear the malfunction.
