April 2023 Sharpshooter Match Announcement
Greetings and welcome to all. Our monthly series is open to all forum members and their families. Standardized targets are available for you to print at your convenience. An opportunity to work on fundamentals while improving your marksmanship skills. You can find a division (or two) that is agreeable for the whole family. Our goal is promoting skill advancement in a safe and friendly competition. We shoot five rounds per target for score. You are encouraged to shoot only one target, but the choice is yours. You may shoot as many as you wish but are allowed only one submission per division. All target submissions must be in the “Mail In Match” topic for scoring.
On to business at hand, this announcement is a day early because the 1st is a Saturday, I’m on the west side of our nation and by the time I could post, a good many will have already had the chance to get out for some group therapy. And I have the chance to get out tomorrow myself and don’t want to get to the club late.
The series rules can be found here. The emphasis is on marksmanship, not the gear.
Iron sight bonuses remain in effect and apply to all handgun and rifle divisions. For those of you just joining us;
