The stages have been rearranged to reflect the order in which they were shot.

Because of the snow or mud on the range all five scenarios will be shot on one stage set up. We will set up close to the covered bench rests so that the gun racks will be available and we won't need gun carts. We'll have the fire going in the clubhouse so it will be warm and toasty.

We will be shooting a side match after the five main matches while the scores are being tabulated and the award certificates are written up. This will consist of ten rounds in the rifle firing at the Texas Star with the top half of the star covered. You can only shoot the targets off the bottom half of the star.
