I apologize for the short notice but I want to get the Mini-Palma Matches started and see what kind of reviews we get out of it...if you can make ***GREAT*** if not I understand, sorry for the short notice.


I will run 2 Matches on the 12th of May, # 1 Match @ 3:00 pm and another @ 5:40 pm for those who work or those that can't make the 3:00 pm Match

If you don't have your rifle sighted in for 100 yards, have no worries as I am giving unlimited sighters on the 800 yard sighter bullseye. After the sighters we will go down range and paste them up for the Match.


A bit of Info:  (At 100 yards a standard .22 rimfire cartridge will drop around 7 or 8 inches.)


Here is a little History on the Mini-Palma Matches and course of fire for the day.


Palma Competition Matches began in 1876 and Included Prone Shooting out to 1000 yards. It has always been an International Sport, with National Teams Shooting around the world for a Perpetual Trophy. The Matches stopped at the outbreak of WW2 and didn't begin again until Canada revived it 1966.

Mini-Palma Matches were created by the NRA to simulate Shooting Palma with Smallbore (.22 rimfire) rifles at 100 yards.


Rules

100 Yard Prone Position shooting at reduced targets to simulate 800-900-1000 yards.
