Field Target
Each spot you shoot from is called a lane.  There will be two targets per lane and each target is to be shot twice.  There will be 20 targets for record in the 10 total lanes.  Knocking the target down is worth 1 point and hitting the target is worth zero point. A perfect score for this match is 40 points.
 
Shooters must stay behind the stake and be able to touch it with their foot.  Shooters will re-set the field target by pulling on the attached string.  No sighting shots are allowed.  Range finders are not allowed but you may use the parallax adjustment on your scope to help judge distances.  Support bags and or bipod/tripods are allowed and can be carried in a bucket which the shooter may sit on while shooting.  If you want to do so, you may use a chair to sit on and some sort of wagon to move your stuff from lane to lane. Each shooter will get 8 minutes to set up and shoot their 4 shots at each lane.  A whistle will be blown when your time is up.  Distances will be from 10 yards to 50 yards.
