Rifle match 2-15-14 St. Joseph Restoration Club in Elkhart, IN. Need more info!

[RePete68]

I found this flyer online for a rifle match this weekend & was wanting more info. I have emailed the address on the bottom of the flyer, but just in case I don't receive a response by the weekend I was hoping somebody on here has been to the club or knows more info about the match. Like, is this a 3 gun format type match with only rifle? Is there more than one stage? Is this not a time based match? How does the scoring work if tie-breakers are based on times to complete the stage? Reading the flyer it sounds like it's one big 60 round stage. Just would like more info before I make the two hour drive.

FYI. This is the response I got. RePete


The match is only one stage, and is rifle only. Everyonewill have a chance to go through the course of fire once. I'll have two orthree firing positions set up at the back of the range, and all the targetswill be at 50 and 100 yards. I haven't finalized it yet, but it's probablygoing to be something like "fire at least X rounds at each station"from whatever standing/sitting/prone position you want. (Though I'm told thatthe snow on our range is way to deep to shoot prone right now.) The targets arepretty generous. I use man-sized targets with a vital-zone scoring ring. Thisis one that we have used in the past:

You can't see the scoring line from shooting distance, butany decent middle-ish shot should hit the vital zone. Fire two shots on eachpaper target. Each hit in the vital zone will be worth 2 points, a hit anywhereelse on the body is worth 1, and a miss is zero. We'll also have a few steelpepper poppers. (If its not too much work to drag them through the snow.) If weuse the poppers, I give a couple points for each of those. Just about everybodyknocks them all down. (Occasionally, while reloading or moving, people willlose track of what target they were on. If there are more that two hits on apaper target, we count the lower scoring shots.)

The targets are big enough so new shooters shooting theirMosins shouldn't be too frustrated about enough hits to make it fun for them aslong as they're reasonably sighted in. But most of the better shooters shouldbe putting up near-perfect scores. So while only hits count, and time onlymatters for tie-breaking, I think for the medals time to complete the coursewill be important. Last year the top five were within 3 points, and I wasthird, winning the tie-breaker by less than a second:
