WHERE IS TERRACE, BC?
THIS BING LINK WILL TAKE YOU STRAIGHT TO OUR CLUB HOUSE AND RANGES :)

Introduction
The 2012 Terrace Service Rifle competition strives to continually improve every year. This match is designed to provide enthusiasts with a diverse service rifle competition that extends no longer than one day. The emphasis is on marksmanship under a variety of applications. Each of the competition stages and serials are described in general terms in the rules which are aligned as best as possible with the service conditions chapter of the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association.

Intention of the Competition:
· To have fun and not get too hung up on winning.

· This competition is a celebration of the skills of our fathers, grandfathers and perhaps great grand fathers. Though many of them are gone now we can still share with them the skills achieved through marksmanship.

Classifications:

Vintage: Pre 1956 Un-modified and as issued ex-service rifles. History suggests that some soldiers did do some minor "improvements" to their issued rifles, which were tolerated by inspecting NCO’s and Officers. The key is "MINOR". Dating rifles can be difficult. Korean conflict era rifles and production end run of Lee Enfield No4Mk2, M48 Yugoslavian Mausers, M1 Garands, SAFN (Mod 49), VZ52/57, Stock SKS, Israeli 7.62 K98k Mausers, etc all meet the spirit of this class and are acceptable.

Open: Any post-1955 rifle or optic can be used. No prohibited rifle classifications may shoot this competition. Common Rifle platforms include M1A / M14S, AR15, XCR, IMI Tavor, VZ-58, Kel-Tech SU16, SIG Classic or any hunting rifle platform may also compete in this class.

Disabilities and Running
We want shooters of all sorts to come out and have some shooting fun with us. This competition isn’t all about winning – it’s about fun and testing yourself. We are flexible and will make provisions for shooters that are not physically able to shoot the stages that involve running.

Service Rifle with a Twist
We have captured a large number of zombies that have been wandering the ranges and harassing our shooting members over the past year. We have been storing them in a locked refrigerated storage container and will be using them as targets in Stage One Serials 1-4. The low score for this stage will be required to hose out the storage container.

Bring the whole family, tent and a stout fishing rod. The Spring Salmon are in at that time of the year... I'm taking a week off work to do some fishing before the competition. Do a google search on the 'Skeena River'. There are monsters in the water...
 
Clarification

I have been asked if the Terrace Service Rifle competition is a Canadian Forces event.

Please be aware that this is an open TERRACE ROD AND GUN CLUB COMPETITION and not a closed military competition.

I highly encourage people that are interested in ‘Shooting Gallery” type of competitions attend this match. In addition I highly recommend that hunters attend this match. In many respects, service rifle shooting disciplines are very similar to the type of rigour hunters go through in the field when stalking an animal, moving quickly through the bush to get that one shot. Often times hunters are winded, have an elevated heartbeat and are not always shooting at their best. This is real life shooting practice.

Although the title of “Service Rifle” has a very "Military" sound to it, one can very simply define it as ‘shooting under a modicum of physical stress’. We simulate stress by having the shooter run a short course prior to approaching the firing point to engage his or her targets. In many respects this is similar... to biathlon type shooting.

Please note that there will likely be uniformed members of the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP or other services present to compete during this match because it is good practice for their vocational needs.

Service Rifle shooting is a fun sport. Fun Fun Fun!

So if you see uniforms present don’t let that stop you from joining us for a day of shooting fun! You're all very welcome to sign up and enjoy the day with like minded individuals.

Hope to see you there

I keep letting bike races and fishing trips interfere with my shooting. Some day the stars and planets will align and my weekend will be free to attend your shoot RC.
Great to see it happening again this year. Always love the videos and pics you post afterwards.
Thanks to you and the other Rangers for keeping this going.
 
40% chance of light rain tomorrow morning. Awesome - we'll be able to tell who the real shooters are... Everything is set for the Happening Hour. Bring bug dope (hopefully you didn't Krylon your rifle stock).
