The match will consist of two stages, with each stage being shot five times. Times are recorded and the worst one is discarded, leaving the shooter with four recorded times, the total of which is their score for the stage.
At the end of the match, the scores are tallied and prizes will be awarded for the top three performers in each division.
According to Chair Mr. Thomas, “GSSF is excited to conduct our first match in over a year. Hence the name of the event ‘Rust Off” match. We look forward to a safe and fun event which will include Covid-19 prevention measures.”
