New Bristol Schedule Prone a 6400

This from SSUSA  http://www.ssusa.org/articles/2015/11/3/2016-national-smallbore-rifle-championships-schedule-released/ posted November 3. As this is a Roberts Team selection year I encourage all to put feelings aside and attend the tryouts.

Note the four days of conventional prone, Metric Prone was taken out of the program and the 50-Yard Match was added to the Conventional Prone Championship restoring the 6400. “This action was in response to the numerous prone competitors’ requests.”

“The Smallbore Rifle Championship Tournament Program will be posted online on March 1, 2016, with online registrations beginning April 1, 2016. As in the past, when a competitor or a coach registers, a confirmation will be mailed to them, squadding is issued at the time of registration. Entries will be limited to 200 competitors for the Metric Position, Conventional 3-Position, and Conventional Prone Championships.

Special awards ceremonies are being planned for each Championship. The Championships will feature an Amish dinner and awards presentation at the Das Dutchman Essenhaus Convention Center. All of these events will be attended by competitors, coaches, families, and representatives of the local communities.”
