I have known the phrase was Leslie Nelson’s, but, surely, there will be some that watched fewer movies than others.

Being that the NRA adopted 20 shot pair fire are we suppose to use our long range classification or full bore classification?

The new rule book for F-Class hasn’t been updated to the NRA website yet. I refresh that page a few times a day. Other rule books revised this year have been, and ours should be any day now.

We can anticipate they will place this match under a revised and expanded F-Class full bore course of fire with accompanying national record eligibility, but let’s look when it’s published on the site. For initial squadding purposes though, registration sought the shooter’s long range classification and rifle type. Under rifle type for F-Class, Open and TR were choices, so the submitted classifications will stand for squadding purposes, and then after day one, grouping by standings.

Because of these rule changes, there very well may be other guns brought such as F precision or even F factory, which the match program could not foresee. It does however refer to the NRA rules, so my strong inclination is to conduct the match by the Rules as of its commencement to the extent feasible, although the more time we have with them, the better. (An example of “feasible” means don’t bring gear that damages the facility).

There are also changes to E-Target Rules about no reads, challenges, etc. everyone should read that I’m told will appear. They can be seen in the new High Power Rule book, that is already out.

Folks, if anyone wants to donate an item or service to be awarded at the match, please contact me right away.

We are preparing a banner recognizing these prize sponsors who I’ve already talked to, and it will need to be finalized pretty soon.

Looking forward to a super Long Range Match in April. I want to recognize these sponsors who are donating prizes or otherwise helping put on this match, as well as Glenn E (as he always has for so many years) Gary J, my assistant match director and banner graphics designer, and Claudette J, who will enter stats.

Not “all” the prizes will be left to chance. At the end of Day One, the Open and TR leaders have a day one prize coming. You can’t really wait until that time to announce that, so there it is.




The NRA’s recent rule amendment includes this course of fire as national records eligible, in case anyone hadn’t seen that (not in the fullbore section).

If you were thinking about cancelling, I wouldn’t. Saturday’s dinner this year is going to be catered by Killen’s Barbecue of Pearland, (with banana pudding dessert) if you know of Killen’s …

Which direction does Bayou range face? Due North?

 

[davidjoe]

Yes, due north, (Dallas is that way, I suppose was their thinking).

 

[Turbulent Turtle]

Yes, due north, (Dallas is that way, I suppose was their thinking).

Well, Houston is that way also.
