ATTENTION SHOOTERS: Please be aware of the course of fire changes - IBS 600yd Nationals. Thursday Sept 6, 2007: LG/HG (8:30 am) You will shoot the first 4 targets of LG. After everyone competing in LG completes the first 4 targets, we will move into HG and shoot the first 4 targets of HG. Friday Sept 7, 2007: HG/LG (8:30am) You will shoot the final 4 targets of HG. After completing the HG targets we will finish up with the final 4 targets of LG. Reason for change: This allows more time for reloading and cleaning of your guns.
