NO MORE MARKING TARGETS…

 ELECTRONIC TARGETS:  All other matches at the National Matches will be shot ET’s.  This means, no competitor marking of targets…BRILLIANT!

EVERY shooter must have THEIR OWN computing device that is capable of WiFi and has an internet browser – such as a laptop, smartphone or tablet,e tc.  Suggestion is to have the largest screen possible to get the full experience on offer from the ET’s.  Ensure the device is bright enough for screen to be seen outside in daylight (test in advance).  Every person MUST have a way to charge the device during the day while at the range - Inverter, Cig lighter adaptor, etc.  If your device goes flat, then you can’t shoot.  There are no spare devices available at the range.  All shooters must be self-sufficient.

Matches will be shot in the below scheduled order where possible.  Priority is to the IMC’s if weather, time or distractions become an issue.
