Currently the shoot is not visible on the website for everyone to book into, giving those who have nominated for the National Shoot first access to make a booking. I will make this shoot available for all to book from the 14^th onwards so that other club members can attend also. Please make sure that anyone who needs to attend to practice/sight in for the National Shoot registers before this date or will risk missing out if the shoot books out.

General Information

Fly Shoot is a shooting discipline that caters exclusively to rifles. Each match comprises five targets, with the target having a ‘fly’ 30mm in size as the X-ring and scoring rings around it. Fly Shoot is a unique discipline as both the size of the groups and scores count towards a shooter’s final result. It is best to try to keep the five-shot group as close to the fly as possible for a maximum score.

Targets

The 500m Centrefire matches use an approved 10-value target measuring 8.54" (21.7cm) in diameter. Its centre scoring ring with the fly is of 1.77" (4.5cm) diameter with a value of 10, while the width of scoring rings with the value 1 to 9 is 0.35" (0.9cm).

Competitors may use only eight rounds per target; five rounds on the target for scoring and three rounds for sighting on a sighting target (paper, steel or other medium). Scores are decided by best edge scoring, wherein if a bullet touches the border of the next highest ring, with no gap, the higher score will be awarded.

Firearms & Ammunition Required

The Centrefire match includes a Light and Heavy class, with both allowing any legal, registered centrefire rifle up to and including .49-calibre. In the Light class, the total maximum weight of the rifle including a bipod must not exceed 7.711kg (17lb), while in the Heavy class, the rifle may have an unlimited weight, but it must be manually lifted onto the bench.
