On our club matches there is a $10 entry fee for club members. a $15 entry for non club members. We have three categories to shoot Sport category is if you are shooting a factory rifle (Not counting trigger jobs or scopes) if the receiver and the barrel are stamped the same manufacture then it is in the sport category. Then we have the Tactical category in this group if you are shooting a custom rifle and using a bipod then you are shooting in the tactical category. If you are shooting a custom rifle and using a front rest then you will be shooting the unlimited group. This may be a little glossed over so if you have questions about where you fit, just ask there will be several people out there to point you in the right direction. Trophies and your entry fee will be awarded to the winner of each category. A quick side note on this, if you are for example in the sport category and want to compete in the Tactical just let us know at the sign up.
These Matches are fun and a fundraiser for our club so we can but supplies, such as targets and other consumables and for keeping our range clean and open to the public.
Starting time is 7:30 A.M.
Your feedback is very important to us so if you have suggestions or comments. Please let us know.
The Club purchased a fifth electronic target. There is a long wait time to get the sensor hub but it is on the way! We have the target ready and once we have the components to get it up and running, we will five targets which should speed up the matches by quite a bit.
If you have any questions feel free to contact us via email or phone. Questions will be answered at the match as well.
