Registration: Advance registration is not necessary: simply show up in time to shoot.  This league is a fun and informal program, ideal for those who have never shot in a rifle match before: a great way to practice for offhand target shooting and hunting.

Squadding: Centerfire competitors will fill the line from the left end, and rimfire competitors from the right.

            Full-season rates: $30.00 for members and $40.00 for non-members

20 rounds slow-fire standing     in 20 minutes.  The match is a re-entry match.  You may fire up to three relays each evening of shooting.  *Unlimited Category Rifles fire at 100 yards.

 

Rifles may be single-loaded or fired from magazines.
