We used a blended approach of the major organization’s rules. As we collect club fees we try to add new and different equipment to help make the matches fun.
Matches are designed, setup and run by NRA Range Safety Officers.
Our matches are very “new 3 gunner” friendly.
We use at least 4 or 5 different ranges during the match so a shooting cart or wagon is helpful to transport all your weapons and equipment.
Sign in and mandatory safety briefing @ 600-yd range, and moves between Area 51 range, 600-yd range and Cowboy Action bays during event.
For events that occur on the 5th Saturday of a given month, an additional sniper stage is conducted on the 600-yd range.
Chamber flags are required for all rifles and shotguns. Reloads are allowed as long as they are safe.
