The first match would be shot on Saturday morning, the second match on Saturday afternoon, and the third match on Sunday morning. The awards can then be handed out after lunch and everyone can head on home. Every match is proceeded by a sight-in and practice time. During this time, shooters can verify the zero of their gun and get warmed up for the match. The practice time is usually held in an open range area.
Most clubs have practice targets set up for the shooters.
These targets are typically set up at least every 5 yards from 10 to 50 yards. At local club matches the practice time is usually a hour or two prior to match time. At larger state, regional, and national matches the practice range may be opened for sight-in and practice. This allows those traveling a little more time to get their equipment just right. After the practice time is done the match is ready to begin.
