Please Note: This is not an IDPA Match--Practiscore essentially forces us to use the IDPA scoring format and lists it as such.

We will close Check-In at 3:15. If you are running late, that's OK. Please call or text me and I will leave you on the match roster. As a courtesy to other shooters, please withdraw if you cannot attend.

You may shoot larger calibers .556, 300 Blk Out, etc IF THE RIFLES ARE SUPPRESSED. You must use a suppressor on large caliber rifles. Please bring PCCs and rifles in a case or cart.

If you wish you may shoot pistol caliber manual rifle. Manual rifles will only need to place one “zero” down hit to neutralize the target for some stages. You may shoot a large caliber manual rifle (e.g. 30-30 or larger) but it must be suppressed as well.

Ammunition: Less than 150 rounds depending upon how you shoot the match.
