The New Shooter Days are to introduce new shooters into the fullbore rifle sport, without the intimidation that might come from dropping in cold to a competition. We give you a brief overview of the equipment, plus rules and safety considerations. Then we'll run you through a 2 sighters and 10 rounds for score relay at 400m and the same again at 800m. You'll also take a turn in the butts scoring targets.
Membership is not required the first time you shoot at Homestead, but is required for return visits for insurance reasons. Shooting starts at 9:30, so please be on the range before 9:00am.
There are two primary classes in fullbore - the historical Target Rifle (slings and iron sight) and the newer F-Class (optics and support, such as bipods). F-Class is further divided into F-TR (308 or 223 off a bipod), F-Factory (an unofficial but club recognized class and still in development, but basically a factory rifle with optics and a bipod), and F-Open (everything else shot off a bipod or rest).
Please see dcra.ca for additional rules and information.
