- We suggest being there by 7:30 A.M. for set up, sight in, and of course the educational conversations (a.k.a. bull session).
- Shoots require approximately 50 to 60 rounds. (40 rounds competition plus sight in)
- Current cost is $10 per shooter and you can normally shoot a second rifle for an additional $5.
- Not only are these shoots a lot of fun, they allow you to develop your skills for shooting at longer ranges. If you
- participate regularly, you will learn to read the wind and mirage and evolve a shooting technique that is repeatable
- and automatic. All the things you need when you are in the field where it's for real.
