Shooters,
Yesterday, WCRC held it's first 1,000-yard match at AEDC in Tullahoma, TN with our new management team. Many thanks to our predecessor Chris Hayes for all his hard work these past few years - we needed 4 guys to replace him. I will serve as Stat Officer. As far as the match goes, we had 18 shooters and generally favorable weather up until the rain hit for the last relay.
I want to remind you about the remaining match dates for 2011. As of this moment, these are "club" matches but I will be taking care of the paperwork this week to make these "approved" matches so that we can send these scores into the NRA, they count towards classification, etc. Match fees will be dependent on whether we can get these "approved" in time but plan on either $15 or $20. These matches are open to F-Class, Prone, Palma, and Service Rifle, generally speaking. Spectators are OK but just be sure to get to the range in time before firing starts and the gates close.
Sunday October 9, 2011: Registration at 8:00 am Central time, first rounds down range at 9:00 am
Match 1: 1000-yard individual slow-fire prone, unlimited sighters and 20 shots for record (30 minute time limit). NRA LR-FC (NRA-LR for prone shooters)
Match 2: 1000-yard individual slow-fire prone, unlimited sighters and 20 shots for record (30 minute time limit). NRA LR-FC (NRA-LR for prone shooters)
Match 3: Aggregate of matches 1 & 2. Determines results for the day.
A short meeting will be held to confirm scores, announce winners etc. approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of firing for the day.

Please join us for these matches. We encourage new shooters to attend and have many willing and able veterans who would be very happy to assist you getting started. If you have any other questions, need directions, etc. please let me know and I will try to get you an answer ASAP. Might be best to PM me so I see it.
The WCRC Long-Range dates for 2012 are being negotiated right now and I will inform you of them as soon as they are determined.
Thank you,
