For the HG D being shot at 7 yards, I don’t see that as a division in the Sharpshooter Series Rules. The rules show HG 1 Rimfire HG2 Centerfire at 10 yards.

Also, I don’t see how to submit the targets? Email, webpage, mail in, etc.

Forgive the new guy if this has been asked.

The HG D is a relatively new division, just as the brand new A2, C2 and D2 divisions. It will eventually be written to the rules.

Notice the red square below any of the Mail in Match topics, clicking on that will open all topics in the category. If a division you wish to participate in has yet to be opened, I will be glad to open it.

As you get used to the forum things will make sense.

Welcome aboard, good luck and good shooting.

Far be it from me to cast stones but if we all behaved like gentlemen-which admittedly may be impossible for most of us-we might see more of those lady folks.
