I figured some of yall would be interested in this:
Here is south Louisiana there is new match being shot at Palo Alto Rifle and Pistol Club. I know there are a few other clubs around the country shooting a match very similar to this platform. It has not been NRA sanctioned but it is being worked on. We have been getting roughly 8-12 shooters each match since it's been started just a couple months ago.
Here is the information and rules of the match:
F-Class Field Precision Rifle (FPR)- The F-Class Field Precision Rifle match is second Saturday of each month. Registration will begin at 7:30 AM and close at 8:00 AM. First rounds down range at 8:30 AM. Cost is $15 and prizes will be awarded by class.
