Matches will be held on the fourth Saturday of the month.   July and December matches will be on the third Saturday, so they won’t interfere with National Matches and Christmas.  

The match sign-up starts at 8:00, shooting at 9:00 and should be finished at about 2:00.

The match will be formatted as follows:
50 yard match – two 20 minute, 20 shot stages at 50 yards, fired on A-23 targets

50 meter match – two 20 minute, 20 shot stages at 50 yards, fired on A-27 targets

Dewar match – two 20 minute, 20 shot stages, one at 50 yards on A-23 target, one at 100 yards on A-25 target

100 yard match – two 20 minute, 20 shot stages at 100 yards, fired on A-25 targets

There are unlimited sighting shots, within the time limit, allowed at each stage.

F Class competitors will follow the same format, but use A-51 targets for 50 yards and 50 meters, and A-33 targets for 100 yards. There will not be different classes for F-Open and F-TR.

We will let competitors shoot half the match. To shoot only the second half, please arrive to sign up by 10:30.

Match fees are $10 for MRPC members, $12 for non-members. Half match fees will be half of that.
