rifle can be supported by anything that does not lock,
screw, bolt, tie or clamp the rifle to the bench or table. The Rangemaster on the day of the match will
be the one who decides if a support devise goes beyond
the intent of this description for the purposes of our match.

noted, junior shooters will also be broken into the Junior,
Intermediate Junior & Sub-Junior NRA Categories based on their age.
Shooters who are new to competitive shooting are encouraged
to participate. If you have questions,
please ask our match personnel. We are
here to help.
These matches are NRA Approved Matches and as such, the

GENERAL INFORMATION
Range Conditions,
Equipment Concerns and projected schedules:
LSC is a
clean covered range that faces North with dirt berms on the North, East and
West sides. The firing points are on a
concrete slab. Wind is a factor on the
range. NRA type target frames will be
used with backers. Shooters are expected
to bring large binder type clamps to hold their targets and backers. 12-clamps are recommended. Shooters can hang their own targets but will
not be able to handle their own targets once they have been fired on. Shooters will remove the target to the right
of their own after the firing period has ended and the range is cleared for
down range traffic. Bench Rest shooters
can bring any rest type device that they choose as long as it does not lock the
rifle to the rest and the bench/table. Only
.22-Caliber rifles will be allowed. Only
1-Round may be loaded into the rifle at anytime. Both the Prone and Bench Rest matches are
any sight matches and iron and telescopic sights will compete against each
other based on the shooter’s classification and category or entry into the
Bench Rest match. Firing positions
will be assigned based on operational need.
Shooters should dress for the weather conditions and bring things to
drink and eat. Bringing portable shade
for down time is encouraged. Hopefully
we will be able to give Shooters their Firing Point and Relay assignments by
Awards: The match winner, classification and category winners will
have their name and score engraved on the 2005-2006 5-match plaque located in
the LSC Club House and also will receive a 1st place medal. We will also issue medals to the 2nd
and 3rd place shooters. Winners who place in more than one
classification/category (match winner/juniors) will receive only one medal for
their highest placing, thus vacating their lesser placing to the shooter below
them i.e.: The match winner will only receive one medal. The same logic will apply for the engraving
on the plaque. The match winner will
only have their name on the plaque once for any match. The same applies for any juniors who place in
one of the classifications. The priority
will be Match Winner, Classification then Categories. The Tyro Class winner
will not be noted on the plaque but medals will be issued to the Tyro Class
competitor’s. The Bench Rest match will
also have a plaque and medals through 3rd place. The Bench Rest is an open match and will not
use classifications or categories.
Protest/Challenges: Shooters should advise the Range
Officer as soon if they believe that their target has been fired upon by
another competitor and the competitor that caused the cross fire should also alert
the Range Officer as soon as they realize their error. Those corrections will be made during the
initial scoring of targets. The Range
Officer will communicate to the Statistical Director the need to make these
corrections. All other corrections will
be considered and reviewed during a Protest/Challenge Period after the last set
of targets has been scored for any given match and released to the shooters. The Protest/Challenge Period will begin as
soon as the targets are released to the shooters following their just completed
match. Protests/Challenges need to be
referred to the Statistical Director before the 2nd Stage of the
following match begins. This should give
the shooters approximately 30-Minutes to review their targets. Targets from the match before the Aggregate
Match will be released as soon as they have been scored and a final 10-minute Protest/Challenge
Period will occur for those targets before that match is finaled and the
Aggregate is calculated. Challenges/Protests
that require the rescoring and/or plugging of the shooters target or the review
of someone else’s target will cost $3 per NRA SBR Rule 16.1. If the Protest/Challenge is sustained, the $3
will be returned to the shooter.
Mathematical miscalculations will be re-reviewed and corrected at no
charge during the same periods noted. It
is our intent to ensure that everyone receives their proper score. Work with us on this matter.
Note: The match operators reserve the
option of changing the match format to adapt to unforeseen operational needs. Fred Manahan/Co-Match Director/Official
Referee, Tim Stone/Co-Match Director/Range Officer and Frank Oliveira/Co-Match
Director/Chief Statistical Officer will act as the Official Jury for
protests/challenges.
Coaching:
Coaching on the firing line is disallowed.
Coaching behind the firing line is allowed. The shooter may leave his/her firing point to
be coached behind the firing line. New
shooters are encouraged to ask questions of match officials at anytime to
assist them through the match process.
