Bob Tuley Rifle Targets   Each Bob Tuley Rifle Shooter uses three 8" targets, spaced at alternate heights with an empty target stand between targets.	Bob Tuley Match Targets
Course Of Fire   In each 35 second relay, the Bob Tuley Shooter loads 3 rounds, fires one shot into each target, left to right, then reloads in his or her rifle, then again fires 3 rounds, left to right, one shot per target.  Each shooter is required to reload during the relay and the number of shots before/after the reload may be varied to suit the shooter. The relay is repeated 5 times.  Points are not deducted for exceeding the time limit for reasons of safety.	Each 7 shot relay is repeated 5 times for a total of 35 rounds of ammunition. Each relay last 35 seconds, and points are not deducted for exceeding the time limit in the interests of firearms safety.
The Pick-up Rifle (the 7th shot)   At the end of each seven shot relay, the shooter is permitted to fire one more bonus shot from a "pick-up" rifle.  The pick-up rifle is a rifle, not owned by the shooter.    Shooters not engaged in the relay, are required to act as spotters to aid in insuring range safety and security at all times.	The "pick-up gun" is a rifle which  is not owned by the shooter.

SAFETY IS FIRST AT ALL TIMES!
1. Treat all firearms as if they are loaded.
"Unloaded" firearms cause more accidents than loaded ones. Always treat all firearms as if they are loaded.  Never treat an "unloaded" firearm any differently than a loaded firearm.

2. Never let the muzzle of any firearm, even a toy gun, point at anything you do not want to destroy or kill. This rule is especially important for those supervising novice shooters. When a child holds a rifle for example, if he hears a noise to the side, and turns his head, the firearm tends to follow. Similarly, if you make a great shot, and look back to brag to your friends, don't let the firearm follow your gaze.

2. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger. At all times you must keep your trigger finger straight, and off the trigger. Only once you have aimed and have your target in the sights should you permit your finger to gently rest on the trigger. This prevents accidental discharges should you stumble, trip, or be subjected to some unexpected event.

4. Be absolutely sure of your target, and what is behind it. Hitting a target even under the best conditions is a very challenging thing. If TV and movies were real, the good guys would kill far more innocent bystanders than bad guys. Bullets can miss, ricochet, penetrate through, and fall from the sky at velocities just as deadly as when the bullet left the barrel. If your bullet misses that deer or shoots over the top of that hill, you can't bring it back.
