What is the cost, and do we have to register?

What are the rules for match rifle shooting coats? All I have at the moment is a high power coat.

Matt,

"Initial 1st Entry in Each or Any Class is $15 Every Re-entry is $5
Each Entry and every re-entry gets a lottery ticket for cash drawings"

No need to pre register.
Just show up at the times Bill listed and sign up to shoot just one or as many classes as you want.
Then re-enter any classes you want, as many times as you want for your highest score to go towards winning the pot in that class.
(most class winners donate the winnings back to the cause but that is not required or expected)

The 50 foot indoor range is well heated and has excellent lighting.

There will be breakfast and lunch food fresh hot cooked available thru the entire event for very reasonable cost.

All participants are welcome to make it as formal or informal as they want. Shooters are welcome to fully suit up in all the fullblown smallbore shooting gear, just wear a highpower shooting jacket or even only a sweatshirt and jeans if they want. Anyone that wants to shoot but needs a rifle, coat spotting scope ammo or anything will gladly be provided anything they need to shoot. coaching is even available for brand new shooters.

I thought this fundraiser up a few years ago as a way to mix Highpower shooters with Junior smallbore shooters. Shoot side by side,
have a good time and raise money for a great cause.

Many people that feel this is a good cause but would have to drive to far or can't attend often simply mail us a donation.
If anyone can't make it and would like to donate just email Bill or Myself and we will provide the details on how to address the check and where to mail it to. Both of our email addresses are list in Bill's original post above.

Thank You very much for any and all support!
George

Thanks, I guess I missed the price in the OP with all the text.

I plan on being there unless something changes at the last minute.

I got your check Pat. Thank You VERY Much!
I'll add it to the others I have from Highpower Shooters and give them all to Bill at the event tomorrow.

Anyone else that feels supporting new / junior shooters is a good cause come on down tommorow.
If you can't make it but are willing to make a donation all the info you need to do that is in this thread.

Thanks George for helping put this together again. Also many many thanks to all of the guys who showed up to shoot as well as all those who sent money in support of the Junior Rifle team. We had appproximately $400 in match fees collected and about $1,500 in donations including $500 I received from Steve @ Blackwater Firearms in Hudson when I stopped in after the fundraiser was finished!
