How registration works: Unlike the other challenges, this one will be first come, first serve during the 1-hour block you select. There will be a max of 10 shooters per hour block. Simply show up at the west side of the 1000 yard line during your scheduled block to attempt the challenge.  There will be multiple milk jugs, multiple range officers officiating, and multiple shooters attempting the challenge at the same time so it should go quickly.  YOU MAY ONLY BRING 10 ROUNDS OF AMMO TO THE BENCH. If you are not successful on your first attempt you can pay $20 for an additional attempt.  The RO will have Venmo & PayPal QR codes at the firing line whereby you can buy an additional attempt.  

Format: Multiple shooters will be attempting the challenge simultaneously in a. ready-golf format where whoever is on target and ready to fire will call out “their name, shot #” and if the RO/Spotter is ready to spot, they will reply back “shooter’s name, shot #” and the shooter may fire.  Each shooter gets 10 shots per attempt. After 10 shots or hitting the milk jug the shooter will clear the bench promptly so those waiting can take a position and begin their attempt.  YOU ONLY GET ONE ATTEMPT PER REGISTRATION as most people will hit on their first try.  If you need more attempts you can purchase more from LRSU via RO using Venmo, PayPal, or Cash.  You must show the RO that you have paid before you can begin your attempt.
