Subject: High Power Rifle "Fun Match" 8/20

Greetings;

There will be a high power rifle "Fun Match" at the Fairfax Rod & Gun Club on Saturday August 20. I am sending this reminder out early because I'm leaving town this afternoon and won't be back for the next match. The match director will be Tom Edmonston and Stuart will call the match.

This match will be an 800 aggregate and will follow NRA rules - see below for a link to the NRA rules.

Please remember to bring your target stapler and exact change for the entry fee ($10, $5 for juniors). The match bulletin is attached.
