Good Question Gadget - I will ask the NQRA office to post something on their website after the new year or at least give me the information to relay back to here. It is probably safe to assume the Leadup and Queens program is similar to last year. Not sure on the teams events.
Stevens Griffiths Match 600yards* 15, 800m * 15, 300 yards * 10 (They shoot short range last to avoid shooting into the sun) so 40 + 6 sighters. for leadup
NQRA queens. Day 1 300,500,600 (yards)
Day 2 600,600, 700 (yards)
Day 3 800m 800m (metres) all 10 shot matches so 80 + 16 sighters
Cheers,
Dave

Thanks Dave
Are my eye's playing up or do you have both metric and imperial distances to be shot at ??
It could be very easy to make a mistake switching from 600 Yrd's to 800Mt's and back to 300 yrd's in the lead up.

Dates 28th-29th April. Maybe you can get to that one Alan??
Cheers,

Dave,
The ad on page 50 doesn't mention F-Open. If there's a few interested, perhaps they'll add it to the program?
Actually they just say F Class - maybe that includes F-Open ?

Alan, considering the F class teams events and Queens are expecting 30-40 F open shooters in the area a week later I don't think it will take much of a twist of the arm??? First step would be a few to call the organisers to express interest. There is a couple of people here that would be interested.
Numbers are on page 50 of ATR. Please anyone in the area for the teams think about giving them a call.
Cheers,
Dave
