luiten: August 2006 Archives
Those of us who take care of such things have decided to change the monthly highpower match schedule.
We're trying to increase the number of the more popular 600yd prone matches and retain a regular schedule for the 1000yd prone. We hope this will make it easier to keep track of when the matches are and so attract more shooters.
Beginning in September the rotation will be:
Just a reminder,
Tucson Rifle Club's NRA approved Roy Dunlap 800-Aggregate Highpower Rifle Match will be held this coming Saturday 26 Aug 06.
We're in our warm weather mode and will be shooting two relays; scoring in the pits.
Any alibis strings will get one minute for prep, no sighters, and will be fired immediately after that relay's second string.
Range gate opens around 0630. Squadding starts on the 200yd line after the pits are set up.
First round downrange will be as close to 0700 as we can make it. Do not be late.
Match fees for adults are: NRA Match $15; Practice Match $10. Juniors shoot both matches for free.
See you there,
Maury

This is good practice for refining your high power rifle skills as it emphasizes good hold and shot execution without the distraction of recoil and noise. Come try it! Its relaxing yet challenging, and the firing line is shaded.
Remember, this is a regularly scheduled event on the second Sunday of every month throughout the calendar year 2006. A complete match program is posted on the Tucson Rifle Club website www.tucsonrifleclub.org
