SUNDAY EVENTS CALENDAR
First Sunday in the month - GALLERY RIFLE
This competition is for underlever rifles. Often the course of fire is “practical style” involving shooting at paper targets, bobbers & movers, skittles and the like. Shot against the clock movement (to different shooting positions) is required, as are reloads. Underlever rifles of any calibre may be used, with any sights. Twice a year there is a precision shoot at 50 metres. This is restricted to rifles with tube magazines and scopes may only be set to a maximum of 4x magnification.
Second Sunday in the month - BLACK POWDER
Rifle event first, then pistols. The same type of targets are used for each. For rifles courses of fire may include normal precision, reverse scoring and one shot in each ring (difficult!). Pistol shooters enjoy similar, plus modified Police Pistol events using turning targets.
Third Sunday in the month - MINI-RIFLE
As for gallery rifle but using semi-auto .22 calibre rifles.
