NOTE TO CLUB MEMBERS: Since firing will be done under the main firing canopy, the area under the main firing canopy is closed during the event. The firing area under the canopy will reopen at the conclusion of the event and after the targets have been put away. However, if there are open benches – we will try to accommodate other individuals (non-competitors) as best as possible. Most of these events conclude by approximately 2:00pm. The Action Shooting Area including the 100 Yard Rifle Benchrest table will be open during this event, however please check with the Match Director before using the Action Shooting Area.
