Clubs may enter one or more four-person teams. No individual may fire more than the ten matches and may only fire on one team Except for Junior Rifle who may shoot for a Junior and Senior team. Two clubs may combine to form one team. Some clubs have found it to their advantage to have a score or two fired ahead of the due date and into the Secretary in order to take care of unforeseen occurrences such as inclement weather, sickness, holidays, mail delays, non working fax or phone lines complications, etc. (Remember how typical winters can be!)
| | Rules:
ARMS: Any smallbore .22 caliber rifle, NRA rule 3.2 (any safe trigger). Any .22 caliber pistol or revolver, NRA rule: 3.4 (no less than 2 lb. trigger).
SIGHTS: Any sights for Pistol and Senior Rifle. Juniors must use iron sights for the Junior Rifle Division.
COURSE OF FIRE: All firing will be done in the presence of at least one club officer of the participating club. All scores will be certified by such officer as being fired in accordance to the NRA Gallery Rifle & Pistol Rules. Being an NRA regulated Match, once a set of targets is started, they have to be shot at that event not spread out over days or shot randomly for convenience. The club officer in charge may use bullet gauges. Mark every shot on the target where the gauge is used. Targets may not be mailed to a shooter in another city except in the case when two clubs combine to form one team. It is permissible for a team member to take their targets to another range and fire them when they travel to another club for a shoulder to shoulder match.
Senior Rifle: A-17 targets. Ten shots in each of the four positions. Ten minutes for each prone, sitting and kneeling position. Fifteen minutes for standing.
(Juniors exception: If a junior team wishes to shoot with or without a scope and A-17 targets they may enter as a senior rifle team. NRA smallbore rifles rule 3.2 will prevail, which may include hook butt plates and palm rests.
Pistol: B2 and B3 targets. Two five shot strings for each of slow, timed and rapid fire. Ten shots per target. Slow fire timing is ten minutes for ten shots. Timed fire is 20 seconds for each five shot string. Rapid fire is ten seconds for each five shot string.

****Any Person may compete as a Junior through December 31st of the calendar year in which his or her 20th birthday occurs. Any Junior that begins the competition as a Junior may finish as a Junior recognizing that this competition officially begins on January 2nd each year, regardless of when the first targets are shot.****
SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.
CLASSIFICATION: All teams will be classified after three weeks. This will enable the teams to be classified on their shooting ability this year, as clubs may lose or pick-up shooters during the summer months. The first two weeks the teams will not be broken into classes. The third week the teams will be listed with their classification for the year. This had been discussed and voted on by the membership at the Columbia State meeting held spring of 1996.
TARGETS: ****All****targets must have the (Official NRA Competition Seal” and have the “Official Sticker Label of Inland Empire Rifle & Pistol Association” placed on the backside of the Bull (Pistol) or #1 Bull (rifle). and numbered numerically. Range officers will issue targets in numbered sequence to their teams and any break in the sequence will be subject to question. It is the prerogative of the assigned Association Officer to call any or all targets of a match for inspection.
All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
If a club is using official IER&PA labels instead of official IER&PA targets, please follow these guidelines: All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
*** "Remember, place the label on the backside before the target is shot at." *** It should be noted that additional care must be exercised to keep the targets in a consecutive numbered order for each week. This is often done in advance by setting up the targets in a block for each week with the names of the individuals and the match numbers filled in to avoid confusion at a later date. All targets must be kept for three weeks after the last Tuesday of the posted scheduled session – see published schedule.

All targets must be kept for two weeks after the final publication in the Spokesman-Review newspaper.

The club officer in charge may use bullet gauges. Mark every shot on the target where the gauge is used. Targets may not be mailed to a shooter in another city except in the case when two clubs combine to form one team. It is permissible for a team member to take their targets to another range and fire them when they travel to another club for a shoulder to shoulder match.

SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.

Clubs may enter one or more four-person teams. No individual may fire more than the ten matches and may only fire on one team Except for Junior Rifle who may shoot for a Junior and Senior team. Two clubs may combine to form one team. Some clubs have found it to their advantage to have a score or two fired ahead of the due date and into the Secretary in order to take care of unforeseen occurrences such as inclement weather, sickness, holidays, mail delays, non working fax or phone lines complications, etc. (Remember how typical winters can be!) | | Rules:
ARMS: Any smallbore .22 caliber rifle, NRA rule 3.2 (any safe trigger).
SIGHTS: Any sights for Senior Rifle. Juniors must use iron sights for the Junior Rifle Division.
COURSE OF FIRE: All firing will be done in the presence of at least one club officer of the participating club. All scores will be certified by such officer as being fired in accordance to the NRA Gallery Rifle & Pistol Rules. Being an NRA regulated Match, once a set of targets is started, they have to be shot at that event not spread out over days or shot randomly for convenience. The club officer in charge may use bullet gauges. Mark every shot on the target where the gauge is used. Targets may not be mailed to a shooter in another city except in the case when two clubs combine to form one team. It is permissible for a team member to take their targets to another range and fire them when they travel to another club for a shoulder to shoulder match.
Senior Rifle: A-17 targets. Ten shots in each of the four positions. Ten minutes for each prone, sitting and kneeling position. Fifteen minutes for standing.
(Juniors exception: If a junior team wishes to shoot with or without a scope and A-17 targets they may enter as a senior rifle team. NRA smallbore rifles rule 3.2 will prevail, which may include hook butt plates and palm rests.
Pistol: B2 and B3 targets. Two five shot strings for each of slow, timed and rapid fire. Ten shots per target. Slow fire timing is ten minutes for ten shots. Timed fire is 20 seconds for each five shot string. Rapid fire is ten seconds for each five shot string.

****Any Person may compete as a Junior through December 31st of the calendar year in which his or her 20th birthday occurs. Any Junior that begins the competition as a Junior may finish as a Junior recognizing that this competition officially begins on January 2nd each year, regardless of when the first targets are shot.****
SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.
CLASSIFICATION: All teams will be classified after three weeks. This will enable the teams to be classified on their shooting ability this year, as clubs may lose or pick-up shooters during the summer months. The first two weeks the teams will not be broken into classes. The third week the teams will be listed with their classification for the year. This had been discussed and voted on by the membership at the Columbia State meeting held spring of 1996.
TARGETS: ****All****targets must have the (Official NRA Competition Seal” and have the “Official Sticker Label of Inland Empire Rifle & Pistol Association” placed on the backside of the Bull (Pistol) or #1 Bull (rifle). and numbered numerically. Range officers will issue targets in numbered sequence to their teams and any break in the sequence will be subject to question. It is the prerogative of the assigned Association Officer to call any or all targets of a match for inspection.
All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
If a club is using official IER&PA labels instead of official IER&PA targets, please follow these guidelines: All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
*** "Remember, place the label on the backside before the target is shot at." *** It should be noted that additional care must be exercised to keep the targets in a consecutive numbered order for each week. This is often done in advance by setting up the targets in a block for each week with the names of the individuals and the match numbers filled in to avoid confusion at a later date. All targets must be kept for three weeks after the last Tuesday of the posted scheduled session – see published schedule.

The Annual Jr. Rifle Postal Tournament of the IER&PA will begin firing the month of January 2017 and continue firing for ten consecutive weeks.
The tournament is open to any rifle or pistol club in the Inland Empire, or by invitation provided, they are affiliated with the National Rifle Association. Clubs may enter one or more four-person teams. No individual may fire more than the ten matches and may only fire on one team Except for Junior Rifle who may shoot for a Junior and Senior team. Two clubs may combine to form one team. Some clubs have found it to their advantage to have a score or two fired ahead of the due date and into the Secretary in order to take care of unforeseen occurrences such as inclement weather, sickness, holidays, mail delays, non working fax or phone lines complications, etc. (Remember how typical winters can be!) | | Rules:
ARMS: Any smallbore .22 caliber rifle, NRA rule 3.2 (any safe trigger). Any .22 caliber pistol or revolver, NRA rule: 3.4 (no less than 2 lb. trigger).
SIGHTS: Any sights for Pistol and Senior Rifle. Juniors must use iron sights for the Junior Rifle Division.
COURSE OF FIRE: All firing will be done in the presence of at least one club officer of the participating club. All scores will be certified by such officer as being fired in accordance to the NRA Gallery Rifle & Pistol Rules. Being an NRA regulated Match, once a set of targets is started, they have to be shot at that event not spread out over days or shot randomly for convenience. The club officer in charge may use bullet gauges. Mark every shot on the target where the gauge is used. Targets may not be mailed to a shooter in another city except in the case when two clubs combine to form one team. It is permissible for a team member to take their targets to another range and fire them when they travel to another club for a shoulder to shoulder match.
Senior Rifle: A-17 targets. Ten shots in each of the four positions. Ten minutes for each prone, sitting and kneeling position. Fifteen minutes for standing.
(Juniors exception: If a junior team wishes to shoot with or without a scope and A-17 targets they may enter as a senior rifle team. NRA smallbore rifles rule 3.2 will prevail, which may include hook butt plates and palm rests.
Pistol: B2 and B3 targets. Two five shot strings for each of slow, timed and rapid fire. Ten shots per target. Slow fire timing is ten minutes for ten shots. Timed fire is 20 seconds for each five shot string. Rapid fire is ten seconds for each five shot string.
Junior Rifle: NRA/USA 50 targets. Regulation quarter course of fire, three position. Ten minutes for prone. Fifteen minutes for kneeling. Twenty minutes for standing. NRA rules will apply. Iron sights only.
****Any Person may compete as a Junior through December 31st of the calendar year in which his or her 20th birthday occurs. Any Junior that begins the competition as a Junior may finish as a Junior recognizing that this competition officially begins on January 2nd each year, regardless of when the first targets are shot.****
SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.
CLASSIFICATION: All teams will be classified after three weeks. This will enable the teams to be classified on their shooting ability this year, as clubs may lose or pick-up shooters during the summer months. The first two weeks the teams will not be broken into classes. The third week the teams will be listed with their classification for the year. This had been discussed and voted on by the membership at the Columbia State meeting held spring of 1996.
TARGETS: ****All****targets must have the (Official NRA Competition Seal” and have the “Official Sticker Label of Inland Empire Rifle & Pistol Association” placed on the backside of the Bull (Pistol) or #1 Bull (rifle). and numbered numerically. Range officers will issue targets in numbered sequence to their teams and any break in the sequence will be subject to question. It is the prerogative of the assigned Association Officer to call any or all targets of a match for inspection.
All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
If a club is using official IER&PA labels instead of official IER&PA targets, please follow these guidelines: All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
*** "Remember, place the label on the backside before the target is shot at." *** It should be noted that additional care must be exercised to keep the targets in a consecutive numbered order for each week. This is often done in advance by setting up the targets in a block for each week with the names of the individuals and the match numbers filled in to avoid confusion at a later date. All targets must be kept for three weeks after the last Tuesday of the posted scheduled session – see published schedule.

Clubs may enter one or more four-person teams. No individual may fire more than the ten matches and may only fire on one team Except for Junior Rifle who may shoot for a Junior and Senior team. Two clubs may combine to form one team.

The club officer in charge may use bullet gauges. Mark every shot on the target where the gauge is used. Targets may not be mailed to a shooter in another city except in the case when two clubs combine to form one team. It is permissible for a team member to take their targets to another range and fire them when they travel to another club for a shoulder to shoulder match.

SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.
CLASSIFICATION: All teams will be classified after three weeks.

The first two weeks the teams will not be broken into classes. The third week the teams will be listed with their classification for the year. This had been discussed and voted on by the membership at the Columbia State meeting held spring of 1996.

All targets must be kept for three weeks after the last Tuesday of the posted scheduled session – see published schedule.

Clubs may enter one or more four-person teams. No individual may fire more than the ten matches and may only fire on one team Except for Junior Rifle who may shoot for a Junior and Senior team. Two clubs may combine to form one team. Some clubs have found it to their advantage to have a score or two fired ahead of the due date and into the Secretary in order to take care of unforeseen occurrences such as inclement weather, sickness, holidays, mail delays, non working fax or phone lines complications, etc. (Remember how typical winters can be!) | | Rules:
ARMS: Any smallbore .22 caliber rifle, NRA rule 3.2 (any safe trigger). Any .22 caliber pistol or revolver, NRA rule: 3.4 (no less than 2 lb. trigger).
SIGHTS: Any sights for Pistol and Senior Rifle. Juniors must use iron sights for the Junior Rifle Division.
COURSE OF FIRE: All firing will be done in the presence of at least one club officer of the participating club. All scores will be certified by such officer as being fired in accordance to the NRA Gallery Rifle & Pistol Rules. Being an NRA regulated Match, once a set of targets is started, they have to be shot at that event not spread out over days or shot randomly for convenience. The club officer in charge may use bullet gauges. Mark every shot on the target where the gauge is used. Targets may not be mailed to a shooter in another city except in the case when two clubs combine to form one team. It is permissible for a team member to take their targets to another range and fire them when they travel to another club for a shoulder to shoulder match.
Senior Rifle: A-17 targets. Ten shots in each of the four positions. Ten minutes for each prone, sitting and kneeling position. Fifteen minutes for standing.
(Juniors exception: If a junior team wishes to shoot with or without a scope and A-17 targets they may enter as a senior rifle team. NRA smallbore rifles rule 3.2 will prevail, which may include hook butt plates and palm rests.
Pistol: B2 and B3 targets. Two five shot strings for each of slow, timed and rapid fire. Ten shots per target. Slow fire timing is ten minutes for ten shots. Timed fire is 20 seconds for each five shot string. Rapid fire is ten seconds for each five shot string.
Junior Rifle: NRA/USA 50 targets. Regulation quarter course of fire, three position. Ten minutes for prone. Fifteen minutes for kneeling. Twenty minutes for standing. NRA rules will apply. Iron sights only.
****Any Person may compete as a Junior through December 31st of the calendar year in which his or her 20th birthday occurs. Any Junior that begins the competition as a Junior may finish as a Junior recognizing that this competition officially begins on January 2nd each year, regardless of when the first targets are shot.****
SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.
CLASSIFICATION: All teams will be classified after three weeks. This will enable the teams to be classified on their shooting ability this year, as clubs may lose or pick-up shooters during the summer months. The first two weeks the teams will not be broken into classes. The third week the teams will be listed with their classification for the year. This had been discussed and voted on by the membership at the Columbia State meeting held spring of 1996.
TARGETS: ****All****targets must have the (Official NRA Competition Seal” and have the “Official Sticker Label of Inland Empire Rifle & Pistol Association” placed on the backside of the Bull (Pistol) or #1 Bull (rifle). and numbered numerically. Range officers will issue targets in numbered sequence to their teams and any break in the sequence will be subject to question. It is the prerogative of the assigned Association Officer to call any or all targets of a match for inspection.
All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
If a club is using official IER&PA labels instead of official IER&PA targets, please follow these guidelines: All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
*** "Remember, place the label on the backside before the target is shot at." *** It should be noted that additional care must be exercised to keep the targets in a consecutive numbered order for each week. This is often done in advance by setting up the targets in a block for each week with the names of the individuals and the match numbers filled in to avoid confusion at a later date. All targets must be kept for three weeks after the last Tuesday of the posted scheduled session – see published schedule.

SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.

Being an NRA regulated Match, once a set of targets is started, they have to be shot at that event not spread out over days or shot randomly for convenience. The club officer in charge may use bullet gauges. Mark every shot on the target where the gauge is used. Targets may not be mailed to a shooter in another city except in the case when two clubs combine to form one team. It is permissible for a team member to take their targets to another range and fire them when they travel to another club for a shoulder to shoulder match.
Senior Rifle: A-17 targets. Ten shots in each of the four positions. Ten minutes for each prone, sitting and kneeling position. Fifteen minutes for standing.
(Juniors exception: If a junior team wishes to shoot with or without a scope and A-17 targets they may enter as a senior rifle team. NRA smallbore rifles rule 3.2 will prevail, which may include hook butt plates and palm rests.
Pistol: B2 and B3 targets. Two five shot strings for each of slow, timed and rapid fire. Ten shots per target. Slow fire timing is ten minutes for ten shots. Timed fire is 20 seconds for each five shot string. Rapid fire is ten seconds for each five shot string.
Junior Rifle: NRA/USA 50 targets. Regulation quarter course of fire, three position. Ten minutes for prone. Fifteen minutes for kneeling. Twenty minutes for standing. NRA rules will apply. Iron sights only.
****Any Person may compete as a Junior through December 31st of the calendar year in which his or her 20th birthday occurs. Any Junior that begins the competition as a Junior may finish as a Junior recognizing that this competition officially begins on January 2nd each year, regardless of when the first targets are shot.****
SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.
CLASSIFICATION: All teams will be classified after three weeks. This will enable the teams to be classified on their shooting ability this year, as clubs may lose or pick-up shooters during the summer months. The first two weeks the teams will not be broken into classes. The third week the teams will be listed with their classification for the year. This had been discussed and voted on by the membership at the Columbia State meeting held spring of 1996.
TARGETS: ****All****targets must have the (Official NRA Competition Seal” and have the “Official Sticker Label of Inland Empire Rifle & Pistol Association” placed on the backside of the Bull (Pistol) or #1 Bull (rifle). and numbered numerically. Range officers will issue targets in numbered sequence to their teams and any break in the sequence will be subject to question. It is the prerogative of the assigned Association Officer to call any or all targets of a match for inspection.
All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
If a club is using official IER&PA labels instead of official IER&PA targets, please follow these guidelines: All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
*** "Remember, place the label on the backside before the target is shot at." *** It should be noted that additional care must be exercised to keep the targets in a consecutive numbered order for each week. This is often done in advance by setting up the targets in a block for each week with the names of the individuals and the match numbers filled in to avoid confusion at a later date. All targets must be kept for three weeks after the last Tuesday of the posted scheduled session – see published schedule.

78th Annual Pistol Tournament of the IER&PA will begin firing the month of January 2022 and continue firing for ten consecutive weeks.
The tournament is open to any rifle or pistol club in the Inland Empire, or by invitation provided, they are affiliated with the National Rifle Association. Clubs may enter one or more four-person teams. No individual may fire more than the ten matches and may only fire on one team Except for Junior Rifle who may shoot for a Junior and Senior team. Two clubs may combine to form one team. Some clubs have found it to their advantage to have a score or two fired ahead of the due date and into the Secretary in order to take care of unforeseen occurrences such as inclement weather, sickness, holidays, mail delays, non working fax or phone lines complications, etc. (Remember how typical winters can be!)
| | Rules:
ARMS: Any .22 caliber pistol or revolver, NRA rule: 3.4 (no less than 2 lb. trigger).
SIGHTS: Juniors must use iron sights.
COURSE OF FIRE: All firing will be done in the presence of at least one club officer of the participating club. All scores will be certified by such officer as being fired in accordance to the NRA Gallery Rifle & Pistol Rules. Being an NRA regulated Match, once a set of targets is started, they have to be shot at that event not spread out over days or shot randomly for convenience. The club officer in charge may use bullet gauges. Mark every shot on the target where the gauge is used. Targets may not be mailed to a shooter in another city except in the case when two clubs combine to form one team. It is permissible for a team member to take their targets to another range and fire them when they travel to another club for a shoulder to shoulder match.
Senior Rifle: A-17 targets. Ten shots in each of the four positions. Ten minutes for each prone, sitting and kneeling position. Fifteen minutes for standing.
(Juniors exception: If a junior team wishes to shoot with or without a scope and A-17 targets they may enter as a senior rifle team. NRA smallbore rifles rule 3.2 will prevail, which may include hook butt plates and palm rests.
Pistol: B2 and B3 targets. Two five shot strings for each of slow, timed and rapid fire. Ten shots per target. Slow fire timing is ten minutes for ten shots. Timed fire is 20 seconds for each five shot string. Rapid fire is ten seconds for each five shot string.
Junior Rifle: NRA/USA 50 targets. Regulation quarter course of fire, three position. Ten minutes for prone. Fifteen minutes for kneeling. Twenty minutes for standing. NRA rules will apply. Iron sights only.
****Any Person may compete as a Junior through December 31st of the calendar year in which his or her 20th birthday occurs. Any Junior that begins the competition as a Junior may finish as a Junior recognizing that this competition officially begins on January 2nd each year, regardless of when the first targets are shot.****
SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.
CLASSIFICATION: All teams will be classified after three weeks. This will enable the teams to be classified on their shooting ability this year, as clubs may lose or pick-up shooters during the summer months. The first two weeks the teams will not be broken into classes. The third week the teams will be listed with their classification for the year. This had been discussed and voted on by the membership at the Columbia State meeting held spring of 1996.
TARGETS: ****All****targets must have the (Official NRA Competition Seal” and have the “Official Sticker Label of Inland Empire Rifle & Pistol Association” placed on the backside of the Bull (Pistol) or #1 Bull (rifle). and numbered numerically. Range officers will issue targets in numbered sequence to their teams and any break in the sequence will be subject to question. It is the prerogative of the assigned Association Officer to call any or all targets of a match for inspection.
All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
If a club is using official IER&PA labels instead of official IER&PA targets, please follow these guidelines: All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring.

*** "Remember, place the label on the backside before the target is shot at." *** It should be noted that additional care must be exercised to keep the targets in a consecutive numbered order for each week. This is often done in advance by setting up the targets in a block for each week with the names of the individuals and the match numbers filled in to avoid confusion at a later date. All targets must be kept for three weeks after the last Tuesday of the posted scheduled session – see published schedule.

79th Annual Pistol Tournament of the IER&PA will begin firing the month of January 2023 and continue firing for ten consecutive weeks.
The tournament is open to any rifle or pistol club in the Inland Empire, or by invitation provided, they are affiliated with the National Rifle Association. Clubs may enter one or more four-person teams. No individual may fire more than the ten matches and may only fire on one team Except for Junior Rifle who may shoot for a Junior and Senior team. Two clubs may combine to form one team. Some clubs have found it to their advantage to have a score or two fired ahead of the due date and into the Secretary in order to take care of unforeseen occurrences such as inclement weather, sickness, holidays, mail delays, non working fax or phone lines complications, etc. (Remember how typical winters can be!)
| | Rules:
ARMS: Any .22 caliber pistol or revolver, NRA rule: 3.4 (no less than 2 lb. trigger).
SIGHTS: Juniors must use iron sights.
COURSE OF FIRE: All firing will be done in the presence of at least one club officer of the participating club. All scores will be certified by such officer as being fired in accordance to the NRA Gallery Rifle & Pistol Rules. Being an NRA regulated Match, once a set of targets is started, they have to be shot at that event not spread out over days or shot randomly for convenience. The club officer in charge may use bullet gauges. Mark every shot on the target where the gauge is used. Targets may not be mailed to a shooter in another city except in the case when two clubs combine to form one team. It is permissible for a team member to take their targets to another range and fire them when they travel to another club for a shoulder to shoulder match.
Senior Rifle: A-17 targets. Ten shots in each of the four positions. Ten minutes for each prone, sitting and kneeling position. Fifteen minutes for standing.
(Juniors exception: If a junior team wishes to shoot with or without a scope and A-17 targets they may enter as a senior rifle team. NRA smallbore rifles rule 3.2 will prevail, which may include hook butt plates and palm rests.
Pistol: B2 and B3 targets. Two five shot strings for each of slow, timed and rapid fire. Ten shots per target. Slow fire timing is ten minutes for ten shots. Timed fire is 20 seconds for each five shot string. Rapid fire is ten seconds for each five shot string.
Junior Rifle: NRA/USA 50 targets. Regulation quarter course of fire, three position. Ten minutes for prone. Fifteen minutes for kneeling. Twenty minutes for standing. NRA rules will apply. Iron sights only.
****Any Person may compete as a Junior through December 31st of the calendar year in which his or her 20th birthday occurs. Any Junior that begins the competition as a Junior may finish as a Junior recognizing that this competition officially begins on January 2nd each year, regardless of when the first targets are shot.****
SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.
CLASSIFICATION: All teams will be classified after three weeks. This will enable the teams to be classified on their shooting ability this year, as clubs may lose or pick-up shooters during the summer months. The first two weeks the teams will not be broken into classes. The third week the teams will be listed with their classification for the year. This had been discussed and voted on by the membership at the Columbia State meeting held spring of 1996.
TARGETS: ****All****targets must have the (Official NRA Competition Seal” and have the “Official Sticker Label of Inland Empire Rifle & Pistol Association” placed on the backside of the Bull (Pistol) or #1 Bull (rifle). and numbered numerically. Range officers will issue targets in numbered sequence to their teams and any break in the sequence will be subject to question. It is the prerogative of the assigned Association Officer to call any or all targets of a match for inspection.
All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
If a club is using official IER&PA labels instead of official IER&PA targets, please follow these guidelines: All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring.

*** "Remember, place the label on the backside before the target is shot at." *** It should be noted that additional care must be exercised to keep the targets in a consecutive numbered order for each week. This is often done in advance by setting up the targets in a block for each week with the names of the individuals and the match numbers filled in to avoid confusion at a later date. All targets must be kept for three weeks after the last Tuesday of the posted scheduled session – see published schedule.

SIGHTING SHOTS: Sighting shots allowed for rifle, using allotted time for that position. Handguns may use practice targets for sighting. The numbered targets are for record only.
CLASSIFICATION: All teams will be classified after three weeks. This will enable the teams to be classified on their shooting ability this year, as clubs may lose or pick-up shooters during the summer months. The first two weeks the teams will not be broken into classes. The third week the teams will be listed with their classification for the year. This had been discussed and voted on by the membership at the Columbia State meeting held spring of 1996.
TARGETS: ****All****targets must have the (Official NRA Competition Seal” and have the “Official Sticker Label of Inland Empire Rifle & Pistol Association” placed on the backside of the Bull (Pistol) or #1 Bull (rifle). and numbered numerically. Range officers will issue targets in numbered sequence to their teams and any break in the sequence will be subject to question. It is the prerogative of the assigned Association Officer to call any or all targets of a match for inspection. All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
If a club is using official IER&PA labels instead of official IER&PA targets, please follow these guidelines: All labels must be placed on the backside of the targets before they are shot: For Pistol targets place the labels in the center back behind the 10 ring. For rifle targets place the label on the back behind the #1 bull (not the sighter!).
*** "Remember, place the label on the backside before the target is shot at." ***
It should be noted that additional care must be exercised to keep the targets in a consecutive numbered order for each week. This is often done in advance by setting up the targets in a block for each week with the names of the individuals and the match numbers filled in to avoid confusion at a later date. All targets must be kept for three weeks after the last Tuesday of the posted scheduled session – see published schedule.
