Since Mother Nature will not allow any sighter shots during hunting, neither will the Match Director for this match. The Shooter must come to this event knowing how to adjust their sights for several different distances. Also the targets themselves are rodent sized to add to the reality of the event. These matches are normally shot June through September on the last Friday evening of the month.

All hits on either the target or target support will be counted, with extra shots being deducted at the highest hit value.

The match director reserves the right to suspend the “Raw Eggs” from threads as pendulums subject to wind motion.
