Building on our successful 2010 Military Bolt Action Program. This year we will expand our Benchrest Program to include a Centerfire Program. As with the Military program we will start firing around 5:30 pm and continue until everyone has had a chance to enter and shoot as many rifles as they want, or until darkness sets in.
The entry fee will be $3.00 per rifle or relay fired. Shooting will be at 200 yards on the ISB300HR target for centerfire and ISB600BR for rimfire. Centerfire and rimfire will fire 20 shots for record with unlimited sighters in a 25 minute time limit.

Don't forget our first Centerfire and Rimfire Benchrest match coming up this Thursday evening May 12th.

hiya Dan, would a tricked out AR with scope qualify to shoot in this match? and how do targets compare in size to what we use on highpower match day? al

[leadsquirter]

Hey Al, Yes you can use your tricked out AR with the scope and shoot in the Modified Class. Target is smaller with the ten ring being 1.5" in dia. and the X-Ring a dot 1/4" in dia. The printing is in red so you can see your hits with a good scope or spotting scope. We had 12 entries yesterday with 7 shooting rimfire. We shot 2 relays and were done by 7:15pm. Dan
