From Alex Wheeler over at Wheeler Accuracy (I am just reposting):
I just want to let everyone know we plan to hold a match this August in Townsend Mt.
This will be a new sanctioning body and we will sanction matches anywhere there want to be held.
The format is 2000 yards on paper targets for group and score. 3, 5 shot targets per class
Heres a rough draft of the rules. Its early, expect some tweaking.
Contact me with questions/input
Thanks

This is a COLD RANGE period for the target crew to go in and raise targets, or paste accidental hits. Once the targets are up, and pit sealed the R.O. will announce the 3 minute final sight in period. R.O. will command "commence fire", and shooters have unlimited sighters at the sight in bank. Any shots on record targets at this time will result in disqualification from the relay. R.O. shall give time warnings at 2 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds, and 15 seconds and "cease fire".
