Varmint Rifle Match – Rules Update

I’ve made a few rules and proceedure changes and added some clarifications. They’re in the rules secion but, here’s a synopsis:

1. All classes are open to all rifle calibers permitted at the outdoor range. So, if you’re thinking of bringing your .338 LM, remember it’s a 20 round match!
2. You can sight-in any time before 9:30 a.m.
3. We’ll run the relays through twice. Best of the two targets will be used for score.
4. Silhouette order is at the shooter’s discretion.
5. No penalty for cross-firing. Only ten hits are scored. If there are more than 10 hits, only the high 10 will count. So, if you fire on someone else’s target, you may be bettering their score if you’re both making the same size holes. Be sure to verify your target number before each shot. The number will be on the lower right corner of the target. Also, Tom Liebel made up some number plates that will be mounted on the top of the target frame to help identify each target. Thank Tom!
6. It’s best to keep only the 10 rounds needed for the relay on your bench. It’s easy to lose track of how many you’ve fired since you will be engaging your silhouettes in an unspecified order. Have your spotter hold extra rounds in case of malfunction.
