GP ROUND

SERVICE/FIELD/HUNTER/SPORTER/MATCH RIFLE  “AUSTRALIAN NATIONALS”  “COOEE CUP” "REMEMBRANCE SHOOT"   GILGANDRA, DEEP CREEK RIFLE RANGE 3-4-5 NOVEMBER 2017 * * * All licensed shooters welcome to attend * * *

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.  Sunday is a light day in case of wash out of matches due to unavoidable circumstances that prevent matches on previous days being completed.  We can finish incomplete matches on the Sunday.  We want a priority to at least complete 2x IMC’s.

Those shooters who shoot one rifle spec only will only have the first registered IMC result count, however all subsequent spec shoots will count towards the GP and AR programs.

CHAMPIONSHIP IMC TITLES are based on 80 shot match totals, which equals 2x 40 shot IMC GP scores.
