The 79th Anniversary Gallery Match – March 12-13-14-19-20-21, 2010 – Sponsored by the Connecticut State Rifle & Revolver Association. Last year, we celebrated the 78th Anniversary of this prestigious match. As we approach the 80th Anniversary, we continue to provide “face lifts” to the program. While the CSRRA is still retaining the silhouette of the men in their four-positions for the logo, the rules will continue to be standardized by adopting NRA Smallbore Rules for the match (so no more guessing what the age requirements are or what the tie-breaking rules will be)—the time limit will remain at thirty (30) minutes to allow time for equipment adjusting and position changes. Merit Medals will be awarded to all competitors firing in the Sub-Junior and Junior portions of the match at the range regardless of their fired score—Gold for Juniors & Silver for Sub-Juniors. Competitors firing in the Senior category will have the opportunity to be ranked in the “Senior’s Top 100” and an appropriate momento will be awarded. Remember that a Sub-Junior can shoot in the Junior and Senior matches as well (chance for more awards and a Junior Merit Medal!) and the Junior can shoot in the Senior match (chance for more awards and be named to the Senior’s Top 100). Alas, some of us are aging or have medical limitations, so in the Senior match only you can opt to shoot a more difficult position without an NRA waiver. So, let’s get back in the spirit of good sportsmanship and “Gallery Match” fever—send your entry in today, bring a friend—this match is open to everyone (from “first-time” shooters to “over-the-hill” shooters), and be a participant in the 79th Gallery Match.
