COURSE OF FIRE: Each match will consist of 10 animals placed at the distances listed above. Match scores will be based on a maximum possible score of 40. A target must be knocked off of the rail to count as a hit. Shooters will be given ten minutes to fire at each bank of ten targets. Shooters may take as many sight in shots as desired at a swinger provided for that purpose on each bank of targets but must have record shots and sighters finished within the 10 minute time limit. Once a shooter begins shooting for record, the sight in target can no longer be engaged. The targets must be engaged from left to right. If a target is missed, the shooter must move to the next target. Targets hit out of sequence will be scored a miss.
AWARDS: Awards will be given based on classes determined by the shooters past record. Any new shooters will start in the master/ unclassified class. The classes based on a 40 shot match are:
