The Rockdale Rod & Gun will have Outdoor Bullseye Shoots during this summer. The first shoot will be on Thursday May 22th, signup will start at 4:45pm the last shoot will be Thursday August 21nd for a total of 14 weeks. Each relay will be able accommodate 12 shooters. The first relay will be .22 rim fire and center fire on the second relay. We will run as many relays as light permits. The shoots will be rain or shine. We have built shooting pavilion on the rifle range. The bullseye shoot will be conducted there. On unsafe thunder storm rainy days we will move to the indoor range. Only lead bullets will be used in the indoor range.
There will be a signup fee of $10.00 for non members $5.00 for members and $2.00 each gun. Scoring will be done by the shooters. Rockdale will have a modified Lewis system payout. First place will payout then one of next six places will be selected with a random generator (A Dice). The random number will be generated at the end of each shoot. It will be applied to each block of six shooters (2nd - 7th and 8th -13th and etc…). If the last block is not full it will not payout if the random number misses the shooters.
Rim fire and Center fire will payout each week as follows: $2.00 for first place $ 2.00 first block winner and 2.00 for each remaining block winners. Payouts will be available the night of the shoot.
We will be setting up temporary tables and target frames on the Rifle Range. There will be 12 target frames set 50 yards. After completing the slow fire portion of the shoot each shooter will move his or hers frame to the 25 yard line and change the target with 25 yard target. After completing the time and rapid portion of the shoot the shooters will move the frames back to 50 yards for center fire relay with the proper target installed in each frame. All target backs will be repaired at the end of the evenings shoot and stored in the indoor pistol range. The frames and tables will be returned to their proper storage place.
Reserved times will be allowed. To pre-register, E-mail Steve Ingalls at singalls@citlink.net 48 hours before the shoot. Relay positions will be first come first serve bases, if the relay is not full with pre-register shooters.
