April 600 Yard Field Precision Rifle Match at Palo Alto
The new surface has been intalled on the 600y firing line. We will be the first match to shoot off of it.
With the new firing line, will require us to restrict chairs with legs like the old metal folding chairs that used to be out there on the line. The sharp small footprint of the leg will damage the new surface by poking thru it. If you are unsure if your chair will work, shoot me a pic of the leg/feet.
Also, absolutely no smoking on the line. If you smoke, do so behind the bench in the gravel area.
If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
***NOTE***
Reminder that the 100 yard range will be closed to match participants on the
morning of the match (the 100y will not be closed to regular club members
coming out to shoot on the 100y).
Our April 600y Field Precision Rifle will be held Saturday, 4/8/2017.
Registration starts at 0715 and will end at 0800, with first rounds down
range at 0830.
