Brent, No problemo, the .22 BPCR match at Raton is basically a side match run as a fund-raiser for Whittington Center. The matches are held at the high-power pistol range, which is also where the BPCR lever gun silhouette match is held. The matches are re-entry and ties are decided by animal count. Shoot-offs are not possible since shooters compete on their off days from BP Silhouette/Mid-range Target. A flyer with match details will be in shooters' packets. Course of fire; 40 shots ; 10 each for chix, pigs, turkeys, and rams, chix off-hand, others can be shot prone or sitting. Distances are 50, 100, 150, and 200 meters. 10 minutes for sighters and record shots. BPCR classifications (use your Black Powder classification); iron sight and scope classes (scopes must be BPCR legal). Guns; single shots only (exposed hammer guns), no slings, hooked butt plates, palm rests, no tight shooting jackets, etc - in other words BPCR legal. BCPR guns with removable liners (Crossno, Shaver) are legal. The rules mirror BPCR Silhouette. Wednesday nite there will be a beans and cornbread dinner with doorprize give-away, all entrantsare invited. This is entended to be a fun match, but I can say that over the years the competition has gotten very tough. Last year's match winner shot a 35. First-timers will find the range to be "challenging" to say the least. You can be sure that winning your class or being match winner is a major achievement since you will be competing against the best shooters in the country. We even have shooters come to Raton during Black Powder Week, JUST to shoot this match. I hope I covered everything.
