Play Day for Black Toys Saturday July 26 Winona Range

[Ganderite]

The ORA is hosting another fun shoot at Winona (the DND range in Grismby) on Saturday.

CGNrs are welcome to come and shoot whatever they want to play with. I am bring my Mosin Nagant sniper rifle. I know there will be some SKSs, a Garand, a few M14s, some Ar-15s and a K31.

We shoot at 100, 200 and 300 yards. You need 120 rounds of ammo, minimum, a rifle and ear protection. If you want to shoot your SKS at 100 and your Swedish Mauser at 200 and your AR15 at 300, that is cool.

Bottles of wine for prizes.

Set up and registration at 7:30. If you miss the safety briefing the RO won't let you shoot, so please don't be late.

I found that 660 Winston Road, Grimsby in your GPS will lead you to the range gate.

2 questions:

Is there a cost to participate?

Why are those dudes in the last photo wearing hard-hats?

 

[Ganderite]

Excellent questions.

Cost is $40 for non ORA members. Pays for the range staff, the beach patrol (range shoots into lake Ontario) and the cheap wine for prizes.


You team up with another shooter. one shoots and the other runs the targets in the butts (in a concrete bunker.) The targets include hand held targets that 'walk" or expose for 3 seconds at a time. There is some danger of flying wood splinters, so the butt crew wear hard hats (supplied). After the shooter gets his scores, the shooter and marker trade places.

The red disks are put in the bullets holes and held up so the shooter can see where his hits are.

if you have not done this type of shooting, come out and have some fun. Not everyday you get to shoot at 300 yards at moving target.

It is fun! And challenging, you'd be surprised how hard center of mass shots are on a moving target at 300 meters. You're in T.O. it's not that far for you (half hour/45min drive), and an excellent day out with a great group of guys. If I can get my AR sorted out by Saturday I'll be there.
