Yup. My understanding is that, at least for the May Fredericksburg shoot, the price is the same for men (sorry guys). Women are $10 non-refundable registration fee for the weekend, and kids are $5. Women and children are half that price for one day, best as I can tell. There's also a $5/day/person range fee. Obviously this is a no-miss option for me. My husband is fine paying the $70 to attend, which is awesome because it's more fun when he's with me. I'm really looking forward to it.

The bottom row of targets was small enough that, with my vision, I could only aim at the portion of the paper where I thought the target would be.

I was using my M1A with aperture sight. And, no, I was never able to qualify.

I found the targets online, and I was starting to suspect that last row would be looking more like specs than targets. When one person told me they "simulate 400 yard targets" I think that started tipping me to the "maybe I want a scope" side of the thought process. Thanks for the confirmation that it will be money well spent.

Background: I have a couple rifles, but no auto .22 rifle. For the number of rounds we'll be shooting, I know anything bigger than a .22 will get 1) tiring/uncomfortable and 2) expensive. So we're going to go get me a Ruger 10/22 for this. I won't regret owning that rifle, so this is the perfect excuse to pull the trigger on that purchase.

I'm thinking about going.
Anyone ever been?

What range are the targets at?
Is a scope recommended?
Any advice?

The one in Fredericksburg is shot at 25 yds, and they sight in using 1" black squares at that distance. One of the contact folks suggests that you have decent sights and decent eyes, you can probably do ok without a scope. But when I mentioned using a Ruger 10/22, he implied that the factory sights are usually not satisfactory. He doesn't know my skill level, and didn't push HARD for it, but he seemed to think generally it would be more fun with a scope. Says over two days, the shooters each put between 400 and 500 rounds down range.
