This event is informal and friendly to new shooters, families, and casual shooters; we will post scores for those that want to compare scores. There is no scheduled start time for this event, you can start shooting a course when you show up. Signups between 9AM and 3PM.
There will be 3 separate 5 lane loops or mini-courses. Someone can shoot all 3 loops for a 60 shot match course, or can choose to shoot any combination of loops, or shoot the same loop multiple times. A loop will have 5 lanes, 2 targets per lane, and 2 shots per target for a total of 20 shots per loop. There will always be a loop on our rifle range, which is friendly for those that do not want to walk on terrain. Each loop will also have one lane with forced position (standing or kneeling). Courses are designed for rifle.
We will be open for sign-ups between 9AM – 3PM. Cost is $5 per loop. Sign-up and sight in range is on our Competition Rifle Range.
We shoot rain or shine. Our range loop is on a covered range, and if we expect rain, all loops may be on a covered range.

We had a good turnout, and couldn't ask for nicer weather, with blue skies and temperatures in the mid 70's. The Red and Green courses were setup in a ravine with the green course on the trail leading into the ravine, and the Red course deeper into the ravine.
There was an unrepairable target malfunction on the Red course, so scores were adjusted accordingly and the malfunctioning target was not scored. Red course scores are out of a possible 18. The Range and Green courses have a possible score of 20. The 3 course total is a possible of 58.
The Troyer difficulties for the courses were:
- Range - 27.2 (moderate)
- Green - 24.0 (easy)
- Red - 26.7 (moderate)
Total combined difficulty for the 3 courses was 26.1 (moderate)
Our next event is July 10. Hope to see you then.
