The Match will be held the First Saturday of each Month.  Setup starts 8 am Summer Hours and 9 am Winter Hours.

This event may also have a separate defensive long gun stage for those who choose to participate in that.  Stages vary in number, times & way there are engaged, with a mixture of paper and steel targets, that reward accuracy and speed.  Scoring is based on a combination of time, knocking down steel, use of cover and scores on paper.  All paper targets are normally shot twice but may vary and all steel targets must be knocked down. Minimum round count varies depending on the number of stages and how they are configured but with a maximum of 18 rounds per stage.
