All shooting will be done from the 50 foot firing line. Targets will be furnished by the club. Fee is $10 for the evening. $5 of the fee will be returned to the shooters. For safety, the firing line will be called and all shooters must obey loading and firing commands.
Event #1 – Aspirin shoot:
For the first 20 minutes or so, we will shoot at standard aspirin tablets. For the next 20 minutes or so, we will shoot at baby aspirin tablets. Each shooter will place a quarter (quarters are in addition to the $10 evening fee) in the quarter board number that corresponds to their shooting lane. All quarters per relay will be divided among those shooters who hit their aspirin. If no one hits, the quarters for that relay roll over to the next relay, and so on, until at least one aspirin is hit, One shot per shooter in each relay.
Event #2 – Dartboard target:
Each shooter will be given a dartboard target at the beginning of the evening. Shooters shall write their name on their target prior to shooting. Each shooter will shoot 5 shots at their dartboard target when their relay is called to the line. $1 per shooter in each relay will be returned to the shooter with the highest score for that relay. Any shots “cutting” a line will be scored to the higher value.
Event #3 – Poker Target:
Each shooter will be given a target consisting of 52 poker deck playing cards. Shooters shall write their name on their target prior to shooting. Each shooter will shoot 5 shots at their poker target when their relay is called to the line. $1 per shooter in each relay will be returned to the shooter with the best poker hand for that relay. Only one shot per individual poker card will be scored for that card. Any shot cutting two cards will be scored for the higher card.
Event #4 – Bullseye Targets:
Each shooter will be given a target consisting of 5 bullseye targets, numbered 0-4. Shooters shall write their name on their target prior to shooting. Each shooter will shoot one shot at each of the 5 bullseye targets. When all shooting is complete for this event, a numbered ball will be drawn. Balls are numbered 0-4. The bullseye target number corresponding to the drawn ball number is the target that will be scored. High score for each relay will receive $1 per shooter for that relay.
Event #5 – High/Low Blind Target shoot:
Each shooter will be given a “blind” target at the beginning of the evening. Shooters shall write their name on each target prior to shooting. Shooters may not open their target until after shooting. Each shooter will shoot 3 shots at their “blind” target. $2 from every shooter for this event will be placed in the prize pool. After shooting, each target will be scored and the high and low scores will split the total prize money. Any shots “cutting” a line will be scored to the higher value.
