UPMLA Monthly Black Powder Shoots for 2012
in cooperation with the
Ottawa Sportsmen's Club

Open to:  Any safe shooter

When:  First Saturday of each month January through June, and October.
  (For 2012:   Jan 7,   Feb 4,   Mar 3,   Apr 7,   May 5,   Jun 2,   Oct 6)
  Note:  The UPMLA sponsors the shoots held in February, May, and October.

Time:  Registration 10:30 AM (Eastern time zone). Shooting begins at 11:00 AM.

Fees:  $3 to shoot and another $3 for lunch.

Course of fire:  Usually about 16-20 shots total. There are a variety of metal silhouette and other fun targets from 5 to 100 yards, and three or four paper targets with one or two shots each. An offhand position is required for most shots, with some exceptions for juniors under 12 years of age and for handicapped shooters.

For the shoots of January-June, six shots are taken at a special 25-yard target for the team postal match. (Link to 2012 Team Postal Match page.)

Awards:  Place Ribbons are given for success on the paper targets.

Range Facilities:  Outdoor covered range to keep some of the snow or rain off the shooters.  An indoor range provides some warmth on very cold days and is used when shooting at some of the paper targets.

Lunch:  Lunch is provided by different volunteer members every month.

FUN:  Guaranteed.  Friendship provided at no additional charge.
