    Hey there everyone, I am new to this whole long range competition stuff and I am trying to get involved. I have done quite a few small bore CMP events with 4H but I don't know how to get into this style of competition. I have the equipment to do
    this but I am not sure what all I need to get certified for or how to register. If anyone could give me a pointer or some help, I would really like to come out on the 13th and shoot with y'all but I need to know what I have to do to compete.

    Sign up starts at 0700. I'll be in the 7 ring, that's the club house. Bring $15 for the entry fee.
    I'll give you a crash course in the way to score a target and your duties as a competitor.
    Bring a shooting mat if you have one and a spotting scope or pair of binoculars to score. We use small clip boards to record scores down, so if you have one of those bring it along. Make sure you bring eye and ear protection.
    Please have a good 100y zero on your gun and if you don't know your elevation adjustments to get out to 600y I'll need some info on the ammo you are shooting to give you the drop.
    This match is geared towards the new shooter. Would be a great first match for you to attend.

    Field Precision Rifle Match 12/13/14 at Palo Alto

    21 shooters showed to the December 2014 600Y FPR match at Palo Alto to end the season with a bang. Conditions were a bit tricky and it definitely kept everyone on their toes. It was great to see some new shooters show to give mid-range a try. Special thanks to Alton and Dwight for helping call the line. It was greatly appreciated.

    We had 11 shooters shooting FPR this month. Mickey Brinkman took 1nd place shooting a 593-25X. Jacob Ridgedell, winning a medal for the 2nd month in a row, comes in 2nd with a 583-21x. Excellent shooting Jacob.

    10 shooters showed to shoot the match as an F Class/Prone practice match. Bob Lundholm was a man on a mission today. He scored a personal best today shooting a 597-30X that earned him first 1st. Alton Britt, with his new SEB joy pod, finishes right on bob’s heels to take the 2nd place spot with a 595-22X. Great shooting guys!

    Hope that everyone enjoyed the match and see you all after the new year.
    Happy Holidays to all,
    Mickey
