Yeah, here is the correct link: http://palominogunclub.org/169/walking-varmint-silhouette-match-description/

$15 non-member, $10 member match fee.

40rds for score, bring extra for sighters and shootoffs. 60 total is a good number.

Setup starts at ~7:30, the match will probably be done by 1pm, but it depends on how many people show up. I have to head out of town for work, or I would totally be there.

Do you really have to have a two point sling? All I have is a single point.

You don't HAVE to have any sling. The 2-point rule is so that front-end target slings on can't be used. It's a rifle control / hunting position match, not a target rifle match, so that's why the rule. It just so happens that AR's are well-balanced and a good caliber for short-range varmint hunting, which is why they work well for this course of fire.
