CLASSES: The NRA classification system will be used. Individuals who have not been classified and do not have a temporary classification (i.e. have not fired any NRA competition in the last 3 yrs.) will fire in the Unclassified class. Rule 19.6, Assigned Classifications, will be used.

A class will be established by a minimum of two competitors and one additional award will be given for each three competitors in a class. If there are less than three competitors in a class they will be combined with the next higher class. No individual will win more than one award in any match.
LOCATION: The range is located just outside of Charlottesville, Virginia. From I-64 take the 5th Street exit, number 120. Competitors need to proceed south 4.2 miles on Rt. 631 (Old Lynchburg Rd.) to Deerfield Lane. A sign for the range is on the right. The rifle range is the first right after entering the range gate (look for the signs).
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN STAPLE GUN, SPOTTING SCOPE, GROUND CLOTH AND PEN OR PENCIL.
NOTES: As this match is popular the firing positions fill very quickly. I strongly urge that you arrive 1 hour early for either relay. A sign up sheet is used for positions on the second relay and will be strictly enforced. See the range officer on arrival to sign up. No name on sheet, no position on the line. Bring sufficient ammunition for the match. I recommend 80 rounds to cover sighting shots and potential alibi rounds. Food and drinks are not available at the range so come prepared. Even though the firing line is covered during rainy weather the line and range are subject to free flowing and standing water so plan accordingly with ground cover for prone firing and proper foot wear.
THEMES: In order to make the match more interesting we have different themes on the following months. Participation in the monthly theme is voluntary but encouraged and makes for a great change of pace!
May: Bolt Gun Match- Bring your favorite bolt action rifle
November: World War 2 Match- Bring your favorite WWII rifle
NEW FOR 2008: We may be making some changes to the match format as the year goes on and also hope to attempt our first team match. We are keeping our current firing order at present. We hope to develop a method of mounting 2 target centers on the frames at the same time so we can shoot 20 shot rapid and prone positions without excessively delaying the match. If sufficient interest is shown we may bring back the April and October 80 shot matches.
