FTR and FPR Competitor- When I Can
I know we are still in 2015, but I wanted to post this.
Please note that because of the interest we have in the Louisiana Championship match in October, which usually sells out by March, in 2016 we will be splitting the match into 2 parts. One for F-Class (Open and FTR) and one for Prone (Any/Iron, Palma, Service). This will allow more folks to participate (from a maximum total of 60 to up to 120. 60 F-class and 60 Prone)
This is the F-Class program. We will be going to a 4/2 relay format with 4 matches on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. This will allow those folks who come a long ways to shoot with us a chance to get on the road home by around lunchtime. We are getting the Louisiana Championship Prone match approved and will post that info once approved.
Thank you all for making this match such a success to-date.
