A maximum of four sighting shots can be used during the first string (if a competitor is not on target within two sighters they will be withdrawn from the line. This is a safety issue so everyone should be prepared before the match with the proper come ups.) Second and third strings will allow a maximum of 2 sighting shots. Squadding will be a conventional three relay rotation. All shooters will be required to score and perform pit duties.

There will be a 3 minute prep time prior to each string.

Re: FPR- July 9th with Fun Match Afterward- Louisiana

Lol i cant seem to find varget or 77gr smk's anywhere for a good price

And we have enough water up this way as well lol
 
Re: FPR- July 9th with Fun Match Afterward- Louisiana

I haven't seen anyone local (Baton Rouge area) with a good price. Ted and I and others usually get together an do an online order. Unfortunately, I'm good for a while.
 
Re: FPR- July 9th with Fun Match Afterward- Louisiana

Good turnout today considering the heat. The fun match came off well, but based on suggestions, Ritten and I think we're gonna "tweak" it a little bit next time. Engaging multiple targets in the 60 second timeframe comes to mind.
Stay tuned
 
Re: FPR- July 9th with Fun Match Afterward- Louisiana

Great turnout, side match was fun also. Cant wait for next month.
 
Re: FPR- July 9th with Fun Match Afterward- Louisiana

Match was great, side match was good except my partner putting every round on teds target instead of mine!! Haha
 
Re: FPR- July 9th with Fun Match Afterward- Louisiana

With Ted shooting that bolt gun, they needed a few extra holes.
