Gun carts will be allowed at this muster because there are no provisions for stacking firearms. Hearing protection and side shields/wrap around safety glasses are required for anyone on the range. SASS safety rules will apply. The muster is shot with a rifle and one pistol. Bring a second revolver, because it will be required for one stage. Pistols will be shot "dualist." Uniforms not required. Categories based on GAF Battle rifle standards.

Pre-registration isn't required but appreciated by the Mess Sergeant (Mrs. Shamrock) so she can determine the amount of food she needs for the noon mess(lunch).

Many thanks to Col. Shamrock for a very fine shoot. I really enjoyed the history lesson. Didn't know there there were 24 Medal of Honor winners at the Little Bighorn.
