Wow, archy, you're seemingly infinite well of knowledge never ceases to impress me! $:-)

I already have plans for October, and with a wife and two small kids I find that it's necessary to plan the currently-in-my-life all too rare "road trip" way in advance.

I'm really thinking of making the 4/2003 shoot, though.

Before that, I'll be attending the 2003 SHOT Show in mid-February of next year, since I have a good friend who's an FFL and it's going to be in Orlando, FL, which I can reach in about four hours drive.

2003 is shaping up to be a very good year!

The Assault Rifle Match will require a minimum of 30 rounds with at least one magazine change likely. The course will consist of 4 stages with 5 steel targets in each. However, the last bank will have 5 steel targets with one paper target in which 5 shots will be taken. All steel targets will be done as 1 shot per target going from left to right. A target shot out of sequence will be called a missed target and a 10 second penalty will be assessed. In addition, there will be a bonus target on each stage. If hit you will have ten seconds removed from your total time. If missed there is no penalty. The object of this match is to end up with the lowest possible time. Your score is based on moving time, target score and penalty score. The target distances will be from 50 yards to 125 yards. Ammo pouches, mag pouches and jungle clip magazines will be allowed.

Hmm, I wonder what they consider an "assault rifle." Does an old M-1 Garand count? (wink)
