Hello everyone, We are looking ahead to shooting through the winter months. Due to the fact that we receive a lot of rain and wind during our winters we have designed a shoot that does not require the setting up of the two gazebos at the 50m mark. We are looking at setting up fun paper targets at 50m but still retaining the 100m steel targets. I have attached a couple of images of the targets we propose to use. They will be shot in sequence starting at the top then shooting at the targets coming down vertically and a diminishing dia. The large square targets at the top are the sighting target, then the scorers are vertically arrayed below them.
We hope this will keep the interest in the section going and offer an interesting challenge.
Our next shoot will be on Sunday may the 3rd.
Registration for our more experienced shooters 1045 shooting from 11 until 1230.
Registration for Newcomers, kids & Non FAL holders 1245 shooting from 130 onwards.
