APRA May 7 Fullbore Clinic and New Shooter Day
- Thread starter Mr.Sparkle
- Start date
The Clinic & New Shooter Days are to introduce new shooters into the fullbore 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 at 400m and the same again at 800m. You'll also take a turn in the butts scoring targets.
Saturday is the new shooter day and Sunday the clinic (or work party) for the active shooters. Membership is not required the first time you shoot at Homestead, but is required for return visits for insurance reasons.
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).
We do post notices and timings here on CGN in the week leading up to the clinic, so stay tuned. Let me know if you have any questions - link to the rules is below.
