members, $20 for members and $15 for active duty military and law enforcement personnel in duty gear. A required one hour orientation for
match participants new to practical shooting begins at 8AM sharp across from the check-in area at the storage container. Check-in at the
range for preregistered shooters begins at 8:30AM (no match registration at the range). Shooters meeting at the range for all match
participants starts at approximately 9:30AM, match to begin immediately thereafter. Directions to the range are available under the

under a "cold range" rule and with the exception of law enforcement in duty gear all firearms prior to entering the range must be unloaded,
holstered or bagged until the competitor is at a designated safety area. Firearms may be loaded only under the direction of a range officer
when at the firing line.
A free introductory clinic to practical pistol style matches is also planned for in the future as well. Keep an eye on the club's web site for
further announcements on this. This match will be conducted under USPSA rules and certified range officers trained through the National
Range Officers Institute. For further details on match rules or additional information regarding this match, please see
