Subject: High Power Rifle Fun Match 800agg - 7/16

Greetings;

There will be a High Power Rifle Fun Match at Fairfax Rod & Gun Club on Saturday, July 16. For this month the match format will follow CMP rules i.e. start rapid fire strings from the standing position etc. We will score in the pits and try to keep the course of fire to two relays. This is intended to help those who are going to the Nationals at Camp Perry get some practice and it will be an 800 aggregate, so bring lots of bullets. Match bulletin is attached.

Registration begins at 8:00
Squadding at 8:30
First shot at 9:00

Bring your staple guns and $10 match fee (exact change is appreciated).

See you on the firing line,
Alan Willard
