MATCH COMMITTEE: All shooting and scoring appeals must first be made to the Range Safety Officer on the firing line. If these cannot be resolved, an appeal may be directed to the Match Committee. The Match Committee will consist of a shooter from each province represented at the APM. New Brunswick - Bert deVink; Nova Scotia - Marcel Kolb; Prince Edward Island - Chuck Bachmanek; Quebec - Leo d'Amour.
ELECTRONIC TARGET MARKING: Electronic target marking will be used again this year during the APM. This will mean several adjustments at the firing point for shooters not used to e-scoring.
1. The electronic scoring system will only register bullets arriving at the target face above the speed of sound. This means that at 900m you need to either load the old Sierra 155gn bullet (No. 2155) to about 3000 fps or use one of the higher performance bullets (Berger 155.5gn, Lapua 155gn, new Sierra 155gn - No.2156, etc.). For .223 cal. either a 90 gn bullet is needed or an 80gn bullet loaded to 2750 to 3000 fps.
2. The system uses display panels at the firing line. Some will be provided but shooters should bring their own iPad, Smartphone or e-readers (WiFi compatible). Help will be available to get your devices set up and during the match assistance will be available should display problems arise.
3. Squadding will be 2 or 3 shooters per target. Squadding/target assignment will be done randomly and at the discretion of the Match Director. Shooters must have shot at least one match prior to the APM and must satisfy the Match Director that they have a long-range zero and are capable of shooting and scoring with two other shooters in a manner that is not disruptive to the other shooters.
4. Only 2 relays will be fired at each distance. If the attendance is greater than expected and a third relay is needed, the anticipated time schedule below will be adjusted and we will be shooting about an hour longer on Saturday and at least 1/2 hour longer on Sunday.
