3rd Saturday December Special

General Information

Courses of fire attempt to simulate the various hunting conditions under which the diverse types of rifle would be used, typically from 25m-300m or so.

Accuracy and rifle handling skills are put to the test, with emphasis on offhand and field position shooting. Rapid fire, rapid reloading and the use of open sights is encouraged, with a moderate scope penalty for most events.

To reflect the typical field conditions in which big-game rifles might be used, no slings or rests are permitted in competition. Scope sights may be used, subject to a points penalty. The emphasis is on offhand shooting and the use of open sights.

CURRENT TEMPORARY RESTRICTIONS WILL STILL APPLY AND WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED BY THE SHOOT CAPTAIN AND RANGE STAFF
