Work is well underway to bring to Red Cliffs R&PR the first ever Monthly Pistol Plate Match featuring head to head competition. The plate racks and stop popper are here, assembled and ready to go.

     But first, we need 16 semi auto shooters to attend a free invitational test match.  The goal is to provide training to those who would be interested in assisting running the event from time to time, as well as having a morning of shooting fun to let members preview the matches which are scheduled to begin on July 22.

If you would like to participate in this no cost invitational match, Saturday, July 8, at 8:00 AM. Please contact Ron Majury, 360-904-3567, and sign up.

After the invitational match, we will make the racks available to all members and public shooting guests to try their hand and find out what we are offering. This should begin at approximately 10 a.m. and will run until noon.

The regular matches will be held on the Fourth Saturday of Each Month and signups will begin at 7:30 a.m. (during the summer hours). We want to have the first rounds fired down range at 8 a.m. Three categories: semi auto, rimfire and revolver are offered. Signing up for any one class guarantees you a minimum of five runs at the plate racks.  Shooters may participate in all three classes if they desire. Cost is: one class: $5.00, two classes: $7.50, and all three classes: $10.00.  This is a double elimination tournament.

As the old saying goes, "Don't be square, be there."
