Miramichi NB. Sportsmens Club Fall Rifle Shoot - Oct 27 If you have any questions, please send them to Adam at rifle@miramichisportsmensclub.com.
Come one, come all, to the Miramichi nb. Sportsmens Club Fall Rifle Shoot. This is open to all members and their guests. (I attended the shoot in Madran , and they did such an awesome job, I thought we'd try the same format, and grow it in the future).
Rain or Shine, cost $5 per shooter AND one non-perishable food item for the Miramichi Food Bank.
All centrefire and rimfire rifles welcome (no muzzle loaders, this time).
Registration starts at 9:00am, first shots at 9:30am.
Part 1 will be shot at 50m:
- String 1: 50m, 10 shots, “snap shooting” – which means 15 seconds to shoot 1 shot standing, and 1 shot kneeling (do this 5 times)
- String 2: 50m, 10 shots “rapid fire” – you have 1 minute to shoot 5 rounds standing, 5 shots kneeling or sitting. (one mandatory reload is required)
Part 2 will be shot at 100m:
- String 3: 100m, 10 shots “slow fire” – 5 minutes to shoot 4 shots standing, and 3 shots kneeling or sitting, and 3 shots prone
- String 4: 100m, 5 rounds “snap” – you have 8 seconds to shoot 1 shot standing (do this 5 times)
- String 5: 100m, 5 rounds “rapid fire” – you have 45 seconds to shoot 5 rounds kneeling or sitting.
(Note: If a shooter is unable to adopt a particular shooting position, they can shoot from a less-advantageous position. For example, if your knees are worn-out, you can shoot standing instead of kneeling).
If we have enough shooters, we may run all relays at 50m, then all relays at 100m - it's faster than hopping back and forth, and gets everyone shooting earlier.
When we're done, the scores will be grouped by the following four categories, Open sights, optics, Milsurp-open, or Milsurp-Optic. A medal given to each winner.
What to bring:
- Any centrefire or rimfire rifle, plus minimum 40 rounds of ammunition
- Eye and Ear Protection for yourself and any spectators you bring
- A shooting mat, blanket, or something (we'll be shooting outdoors, rain or shine).
- $5, and a non-perishable food item, of course
- Food and drink (we may put on a lunch at a future event, but can't do it this time).
- Everything else you'd normally bring to the range
I'm talking to the pistol guys, to see if we can get a similar shoot running on the 50m pistol range, at the same time… I'll pass along details as they become available.
I could use a number of volunteers for this - if you can come out and volunteer for one relay, and shoot in another, please let me know. Also, there will be a bit of setup and tear-down (nothing very complicated, but more hands make fast work)
If you have any questions, please send them to Adam at rifle@miramichisportsmensclub.com.
