Anyone and everyone who's interested, regardless of experience, to shoot or just to watch. We actively recruit new shooters, but... this is NOT the place to learn to shoot a gun. We insist that you have at least SOME shooting experience.

Shooters under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Registration opens at 11:00.
Mandatory Safety Meeting starts at 11:45.
The first relay starts shooting at 12:00.

Matches are shot on the outdoor range, regardless of weather. The firing line is covered, but not heated - wear appropriate clothing.

All ammunition must be 22 Rimfire Short, Long, or Long Rifle.
(Note: 22 Shorts may not be powerful enough to knock over some targets; use 'em at your own risk.)

All shots are taken standing offhand. Junior shooters (under 16 years old) may use a rest.

Any sights are allowed. The sights you choose will partially determine the Division you compete in. (See DIVISIONS below.)

Slings are allowed.

ALL MAGAZINES WILL BE LOADED WITH EIGHT ROUNDS ONLY.

Shooters should have enough magazines or speedloaders to shoot an entire relay of five stations.
(As requested, Piney should have Spee-D-Loaders for tubular magazines on sale for anyone who wants one.)

The Match will be shot in several RELAYS, each of which consists of two ROTATIONS, with each rotation having five STATIONS, and each station having eight TARGETS, for a total of 80 shots per relay. Relays are shot in SQUADS of 15 shooters - first come, first served. (i.e. The first 15 shooters to sign up will shoot in the first squad, the next 15 in the second squad, etc.) Since a squad of 15 shooters should be able to complete a two rotation relay in 55 minutes, a new relay will start every hour, on the hour.

Once a shooter has completed a relay, they may sign up to shoot the next available relay.

In order to reduce confusion and allow sufficient time and attention to detail, shooters who are guiding a Junior shooter through the course of fire may not shoot in the same relay as the Junior. A shooter will be allowed to guide only one Junior in each relay.

Each 8-target station must be completed in 15 seconds. Juniors are NOT limited to 15 seconds; they are allowed as much time as they need to get off their eight shots.

Each shooter will go to the line starting at Station 1. Once the shooter completes Station 1, they will move on to shoot Station 2, and a new shooter will take position at Station 1. This will continue, with shooters moving up one Station and adding each new shooter at Station 1, until each shooter has shot all of the stations. There will be no break between the last shooter in the rotation and the first shooter of the following rotation. Once all registered shooters have shot all five stations twice, the relay is complete.

SHOOTERS WILL DO NOTHING AT THE FIRING LINE EXCEPT BY COMMAND OF THE RO (Range Officer)

• "CEASE FIRE" or "CEASE FIRE - MAKE YOUR GUN SAFE"
  Shooters will cease fire IMMEDIATELY and make their gun safe - unloaded with magazine out.
• "SHOOTERS MOVE TO THE NEXT STATION"
  Shooters will move to the next shooting station.
• "SHOOTERS RESET TARGETS"
  Shooters will reset the target rack they are stationed at.
• "SHOOTERS LOAD AND MAKE READY"
  Shooters may load their guns - including chambering a round - and get ready to shoot.
  When ready, the shooter will assume the "Low Ready" position. "Low Ready" for long guns is butt to shoulder and muzzle pointed downrange at approximately 45 degrees below horizontal. (Juniors may use a rest.)
• "IS THE LINE READY?"
  If the shooters are ready, they need do nothing but remain at the Low Ready position.
  If any shooter is NOT ready, they should let the RO know.
• "THE LINE IS READY... STAND BY".
  One to three seconds later, the start horn will sound. At that time, the shooter may raise their gun and commence firing. When the horn sounds a second time, all shooters (except Juniors) will cease fire immediately and make their gun safe - that station is complete. Any round fired after the second buzzer may result in a reduction in score of one point for each shot fired late.

Any round accidentally fired over the berm will result in an immediate Match Disqualification. Shooters receiving a Match Disqualification are prohibited from any subsequent shooting on that day.

$5.00 for CPF&G members   ---   $10.00 for non-members   ---   Juniors (under 16) shoot FREE with a paid adult.

The cost to shoot additional relays on the same day is $3.00, regardless of club membership, gender, religion, political affiliation, IQ, sexual preference, height, weight, hairstyle, or eye color. Juniors with a paid adult still shoot free.

 We tried to do this last year but with only three match days - (I hate snow and ice!) - there weren't enough qualifiers. 

Trophies will be awarded at the end of the season to the top shooters in each Division.

• Awards will be based on the aggregate of the top five match scores for the year by a shooter in each Division.
• Shooters with less than five matches in one Division will not be considered for awards in that Division. Since multiple matches are shot on match days, it is possible to shoot up to 30 matches during the six match days. Therefore, competing in five matches in the same Division can be easily accomplished without having to shoot on every match day.
• The number of trophies per Division will depend on the total number of shooters with five or more complete matches competing in that Division.
