UPDATED RULEBOOK for 2025!

Robert worked on the rules book for the next two years. His comments:
"Not a lot of updates, some in the PCC division and adding a division, 22LR Pistol/PCC to see if we can attract some more shooters. It will be provisional for the first year, trying to figure how to make the advantage of such a small round figure into High Overall score and such.  We may get some people to bring junior shooters to a match with this type of division. I know I would love to shoot a match or two with a nice 22LR pistol or maybe even a two gun as 22LR......"
