SEPTEMBER benchrest MATCH RESULTS

All Centerfire classes will shoot the April, May, July and August matches at 100 yards.  The June and September matches will be shot at 200 yards.  You may shoot unlimited sighters, but not on a record bull.

All classes have a 30 minute time limit with unlimited sighting shots.

Tie Scores: In the event of a tie score, the X count will be used to determine the winning score. If the score and the X count are both tied, the top left scoring bull of the number one target will be used to determine the winner.

Wind Flags: Wind flags must be placed below or out of the line of fire and set up before the match. (Due to scheduling concerns, you might not always shoot the same lane in all classes). Wind flags may be removed or repositioned between relays providing it is done promptly as to not disrupt the shooting schedule.

Shooting Rifle in Multiple Classes:

The same rifle may be shot in more than one class as long as it does not exceed the rules. No class may be re-shot to try to improve your score, but if bench space and time allow, you may re-shoot for no score. However, your first score counts.
