NOTE - NEW RULE REGARDING OPEN FLAMES:
In order to reduce the danger of accidental ignition of powder and wildfires, the use of open flames (i.e. torches, lighters, etc.) are no longer allowed. Participants must use linstocks, punk, friction primers, or other methods that do not employ an open flame. If you have a specific situation that cannot accommodate this, please contact the Shoot Leader/Chair.
