You'll need your deer hunting rifle. Your rifle must be zeroed, ideally at either 100 meters or about 2" high at 100. Ammunition must be proven safe in your rifle; you'll need about 40-50 rounds (30 for the matches, extra for zeroing, re-shoots, and tie shoots). You'll need a long-sleeved shirt, slacks, closed-toe shoes, and a ballcap or brimmed hat. Also, make sure you bring adequate food and fluid for the day, as well as insect repellent and sunscreen. Working electronic hearing protection and safety glasses are mandatory.
$75.00 for non-members. $25.00 off for OSA members and $25 off for OSA affiliate members. Under 18s who have their junior hunting license should register as Juniors.
Check in at the 100 range at the overhead cover between 0830 and 0845. Mandatory safety briefing starts at 0845. If you are not present for the safety briefing, you will not be able to participate.
