    Rules are as follows;

    5.The match will start August1st and end September 30th.
    6.The targets for the matches will free but donations can be made to sbowers.

    If you do not stand for something, you stand for nothing.

    You can't spell "restore" with h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y.

    The target referred to is the NRA TQ-3/1, yes?
    More "This is what happened when I,,,,," and less "What would happen if I,,,,"

    My clan (wife, 10yr old daughter, 7yr old son, &myself) will be in at least one class (sporter scoped).

    We had fun with the last one. Hopefully this one I'll redeem myself some.

    Thanks for doing this guys.

    Is heavy barrel based on diameter? I have a Savage MK2 FV that I'd love to compete with. Not sure if it is considered "heavy barrel" I don't think it is 3/4 of an inch in diameter, but I am not 100% sure on that.

    Is the ARA 50 yard 25 bull on something like an 11x17 sheet?

    Watch out! Katie "Dead Eye" and her brother Alex "Killer" are also shooting in that class (along others like their parents). I just felt I should throw that tidbit of information in there.

    I need a reason to dust off a 22LR rifle, it's been a while since I set one up on a bench 50 yds off the berm...AND the more the merrier, I'll be happy shooting, even if I end up in last place. I've been out shot by young eyes more than once

    I don't have a 22lr rifle anymore. I might be in if you had a 22lr pistol category. I need an excuse to get my Single Six out. I should buy a couple of 22 rifles

    You certainly should !
    are you into Mil surps ?
    If you look around at the gunshows, there are still some Romanian 1969 22LR trainers around for $100 or so. I found (and bought) a third one last summer in that price range.
