[shootermeb]

Sunday, November 13, 2022 at Palmyra Sportsmen's Association in Palmyra, PA (near Hershey, PA)

This is our last outdoor event for 2022. The event is informal and friendly to new shooters, families, and casual shooters; we will post scores for those that want to compare scores. There is no scheduled start time for this event, you can start shooting a course when you show up. Signups between 9AM and 12:30pm.

There will be 3 separate 5 lane loops or mini-courses. Someone can shoot all 3 loops for a 60 shot match course, or can choose to shoot any combination of loops, or shoot the same loop multiple times. A loop will have 5 lanes, 2 targets per lane, and 2 shots per target for a total of 20 shots per loop. There will always be a loop on our rifle range, which is friendly for those that do not want to walk on terrain. Each loop will also have one lane with forced position (standing or kneeling). Courses are designed for rifle.

We will be open for sign-ups between 9AM – 12:30PM. Cost is $5 per loop. Sign-up and sight in range is on our Competition Rifle Range.

We shoot rain or shine. Our range loop is on a covered range, and if we expect rain, all loops may be on a covered range.

Maybe a great way to get new people into Field target if more place's did something like this ? Wonderful job to all those involved .

Mike, Troy and Rod have been making this game as accessible as possible, while challenging regulars. Still the toughest course we shoot - Troyer values not withstanding. Please come out and give it a go, it'll get you hooked.

A bit of a drive from Southern KY .

It's forecasted to be partly cloudy and dry in Palmyra, PA on Sunday, with a high of 45F. Don't forget your coat. Might have a bit of wind too, should keep things interesting. Otherwise, should be a nice fall day.

We are planning to have our typical range based loop (5 lanes), a second loop will be on the west (left) side of the range shooting from the deck area, and the third will be in the woods/field. Our propane heater will be in easy walking distance for the range/range adjacent lanes. It will be easy to identify the location of the heater, just look for Rod. For the woods/field course, you are on your own tp keep warm - come prepared.

We took in feedback from recent events and we will be implementing and testing some of those suggestions this month.

Hoping we have a good turnout, since this is the last outdoor FT event at PSA for 2022.

We are looking forward to the challenge - cold not withstanding.
