NRA rules from the current Rulebook will govern the Match. The competition is open to NRA members and non-citizens who are members of their national shooting organization. Each competitor MUST have a 2011 Rifle Silhouette Classification Score Record Book (unless the 2011 books have not been released by the NRA at the time of the Match, in which case a 2010 book will be used for classification purposes) that is up-to-date in all aspects. Any Competitor who does not have an up-to-date book will be required to purchase one for $12 (or the prevailing NRA price) and to compete in the highest classification for the entire Match. If the 2011 book is incomplete in any manner, the competitor must provide his/her 2008 and 2009 score books or will compete in the highest classification for the entire match.

Entry fees will be accepted by the Range Statistics personnel until the first relay is called to the line or 48 entries are received.

Safety: All bolts and actions must be VISIBLY OPEN and open chamber indicators WILL BE USED at all times except on the firing line AFTER the “Ready” command has been given. No rifles are to be moved during a relay until the Line Officer announces they may be moved. Failure to comply with this will result in one warning and subsequent movement of a rifle may result in disqualification. When moving with rifles, the muzzle MUST be pointed up at all times and an open chamber indicator in place.

Scoring and Coaching: Competitors will score each other. ALL SHOTS MUST BE RECORDED IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH SHOT IS FIRED! Match Officials will randomly check to assure everyone is in compliance. ANY SHOTS NOT SCORED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SHOT IS FIRED WILL BE DEEMED A MISS BY THE MATCH OFFICIAL! All score cards MUST be signed by the shooter and the scorer before they will be accepted by the Stat Office.

George,

At the begining of the post you say 1/2 scale. Is this 1/2 or 1/5 scale?

[Travelor]

Sorry Paul, it is 1/5th scale.

Also, I have confirmed that Mason Sickle's Mom and mother-in-law are cooking lunch and supper for us. If you have not eaten their food, you are in for a REAL Treat!

I knew a guy named Paul Freeman that used to shoot most every weekend. Still on the road doing inventory for the boss. I am on the last location in New Iberia, LA. Should be done in another 3-4 week, LUCKY ME!!!

Plan on driving over to Zwolle to waste a few high power rounds this weekend. First High Power this year.

Hope things get back to normal by the end of November.

[psteiger]

We miss you Paul. Have funat Zwolle.

Benton has been approved by the "board", Mary????

[Innocent]

Since when did I become the board??? I am after all Innocent. As for shooting at Benton, great range, nice bunch of people and although I haven't had any of Mason's mothers cooking I would bet that it will be good.

[stsbuyer]

Mary,

Had a good time in Zwolle all though I did not shoot very well. I was glad to be their instead of work. I am hoping that I am in my last week of an inventory audit in Lafayette, LA. I should be home Friday and plan to make a few matches next year. Should be able to at least start shooting local match along with the time to practice some. Glad that this five months of travel is at an end.

[Travelor]

Just a reminder of this match coming up in March.

Please get your entries in so we can plan on meals, etc.

I made a mistake in showing this match as a NRA Registered Match on the announcement, it is not, it is a NRA Approved Match.
