April 1, 2012 monthly shoot starts the summer times. Signup starts at 8:30am and shooting starts at 9:00am. This will be a six stage match. Lunch will be available for about $7.00 a head.

At this match only - a Raffle for a free entry to EOT! The BRR club will be raffling a buy-one-get-one-free main-match entry to EOT. $1 a ticket, must be present to buy, must be present to win at the drawing at the end of the match and awards ceremony. Of course, if you don't plan to go to EOT and have a spouse, family member or friend who would like to go for free, there is not much use to buy a ticket or 10. But, it could save the lucky winner up to about $250.

We will still be collecting and finalizing nominations for officers for 2012, for election at the June match. If you want to nominate someone, please get their agreement.
