A Note to the Public
These event descriptions are generalized and may not reflect changes month to month, or even week to week. Events are in monthly chronological order. It's best to contact the match directors if interested in participating, as they have email or text correspondence for regular attendees and may message for last minute changes due to weather, holidays, etc. We try to keep the calendar up to date as much as possible.

Meetings normally begin at 12:30 PM, but please check for updates from the Secretary Treasurer via email, or updates to the calendar. Only members in good standing are allowed to participate. All guests and visitors must stay on the other side of the Range Officers booth until the meeting is over.

RETIRED OLD PEOPLE (ROP) MATCH
Match Director: Walker Smith, [email protected]
This match is usually shot at 10am on the Long Range on Thursdays each week. While primarily for our retired members who are off on Thursdays (and every other day), all club members are welcome. We shoot "cheap" .22LR cartridges at 50 yards on the IBS 50 yard target. "Cheap" means any .22LR cartridge that would have cost $7 or less per box of 50 pre-Covid. More expensive ammo is not allowed. We shoot two targets for score. Each target has 25 scoring bulls and four sighting bulls. The shooter may fire as many sighters as necessary and 1 shot on each scoring bull for a total of 25 scoring shots within the time limit of 25 minutes. Thus we shoot 50 scoring shots plus sighters. The highest possible score is 500-50X. There is a $5 fee that is collected from each shooter to replenish provided targets and upkeep the grounds. Any .22 rifle and scope may be used. A scope of at least 14X (higher is better) is recommended. The match is shot from the bench using a rest or sand bags.

Each scoring bull will be shot 1 time for a total of 25 scoring shots and a possible 250-25X score. The sighter bulls may be shot as many times as desired. The 10-ring is 0.5" and the X-ring is 0.1" in diameter. The time limit is 25 minutes for sighters and scoring shots. Cost per match is $5.00 which provides new targets and upkeep of the grounds. WE NOW HAVE TWO CLASSES: FACTORY & UNLIMITED. Factory class rifles will closely follow ARA rules with possible exceptions as determined by the Match Director.
