The 2012 Field Precision Rifle season will kick off on March 10, 2012 at Palo Alto. It will continue the Second Saturday each month through September.
Contact me or Ritten if you have any questions.
We made a couple of rule changes-
30" barrels will be allowed
Maximum weight is increased to 18 pounds.
We will also have at least one sniper match this season. Known distance, but no flags and target only visible for a few seconds. More on that as we get closer to deciding which match to do it on.
Rules as follows:
Registration will begin at 7:15 AM and close at 8:00 AM. First rounds down range at 8:30 AM. Cost is $15 and prizes will be awarded by class.
