APRA/AFRA Free clinic/new shooter day
- Thread starter Budweiser360
- Start date
100m Just isn't enough....I need more...Sorry man ... but we try to schedule this around the fullbore matches, not the IPSC ones and IIRC IPSC is running @20 matches per year, some indoors? Our shooting is limited to the fair weather months and we try to run 2 day matches each month from April to October with the Provincials in June, plus new shooter days in May, June and September. Hope to see you out sometime.
It's a go at Homestead this Saturday.
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. You will need to fill out a guest pass form if you are not an APRA member. 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).
