<span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">Four Divisions:</span></span>

Come early and warm up on our Steel Sighter Plates before the match starts. Match Start Time 10 AM
<span style="font-weight: bold">Targets:</span> Current NRA 600 Yard F Class Targets: MR1 Hi Power Target with MR1-FC 600 Yard F Class Repair Center. Match consists of 2 each 20 shot Relays. 40 shots total + 4 Sighters on Steel during the Match. Targets will be scored and pasted after each 5 round string. Time 5 Minutes per 5 shot string. We have a new 125 foot white rock firing line, so bring a shooting matt.
Equipment Questions: Refer to NRA 600 Yard F Class Rules. First Entry $20 all additional entries $10.
<span style="font-weight: bold">THE CASH POTS:</span> $5 Pots for High Score and Closest to Center (Optional Participation)

<span style="font-weight: bold">Note:</span> We do not have pits, so we are planning on doing an improved variation on Walk & Paste. Our system is you five 5 rounds. The scoring crew moves forward and scores the 5 shots, and pastes your target with White Pasters. You can then mark your shots on the provided Plot Sheet. You fire another 5 shots. The scoring crew moves forward and scores the targets. We then Repaste the first 5 shots with Black Pasters, and then paste the last 5 shots with White, and you again mark the shots on your Plot Sheet. We will paste the first 15 shots, and pull the targets after the 20 shot relay is completed.
We have not made a dry run on this system yet. We may need to fill out a Plot Sheet for any shooters shooting the 10 Ring out of the target, and paste the target back in Black OR Not Paste it at all, so the center scoring area is not cluttered up. We will have this all worked out by Match Day.

<span style="font-size: 14pt"> <span style="font-weight: bold">600 Yard EGG SHOOT</span></span>

After the 600 Yard F Class Match we will hold a 600 Yard Egg Shoot. Entry Fee $5. Firing Order will be by Drawing. Each shooter will fire One shot in rotation. First one to break the Egg gets the pot. If no one breaks the egg in the First Rotation an additional Dollar will be added to the pot by each shooter, and the shooting rotation will resume again. The rotation will continue with another Dollar added until the egg is broken. The first one to break the egg takes the entire Pot. You may shoot off either a Bipod or a Rest meeting NRA 600 Yard F Class requirements.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Range Improvements</span>
If you have not been out to the range for a while, come on out and see the improvements. We have extended the 600 yard Bench Rest firing line to 18 benches, and will probably have 2 more added by Summer we will then have a 20 Bench Firing Line. We will have the 600 Yard Bench Rest Firing Line Cover under construction next month. We had some wind damage last month, which trashed the Hi Power Target Line. We have totally rebuilt the target line, and have 40 NEW targets. We have also added white rock infront of the target line so it is not muddy when it rains. We have also added a safety berm between the Trap & Sheet Field and the East 100 yard range, mainly for the 4-H Shooting Sports operation to run more smoothly. We also moved the 800 yard firing point berm, and added a safety berm for it. What this translates into is that we removed another 150 dump truck loads of dirt from the Right Side Dog Leg located 200 thru 300 yards infront of the Hi Power Target Line. Removing this dirt is letting up add the additional 2 benches, and also another 2 targets for a total of 40. We also did some tune up on both the East and South 100 yard ranges making them both nicer.
The new 800 yard Firing Point Berm location made a big improvement to the range. You can now see all 40 targets from 800 yards. We no longer need to keep 8 targets reserved on the right end for Lite Tactical, which only shoots to 600 yards. <span style="font-weight: bold">The Range Keeps Getting Nicer & Nicer Every Year</span>

<span style="font-weight: bold">Club Web Site:</span> http://bigpineysportsmansclub.com/
<span style="font-weight: bold">Range Location:</span> Half way between Houston and Raymondville Missouri on Highway B. Look for a Large Timber Frame sign on the South side of the roadway. It is hard to miss. <span style="font-weight: bold">Physical Location:</span> 18012 Hwy B.
Lunch Served on Site. Normally our Famous Big Piney Red Beans & Rice.

Looks like local interest is doing fine. I think we will get most all of our 600 Bench Rest shooters, and most of our Multi Range F Class shooters out for this First 600 F Class Match.
The added Divisions for Bench shooting should add some shooters who would normally not come out also.

I think some of us will get together for a Trial Run Match, and make sure we have the Bugs out of our version of Walk & Paste, and Scoring the targets before the big match.
