Thread: Field Target Shooting Competition

Yep, you sure have it right there Brian. Money don't equal hits It is certainly entertaining though! With the field shoots i am running i have a bit of trouble keeping people away. I need to come up with a way of orgainising a shoot that can get a few people through without taking all day!

Sounds like there may be a practical shooting for hunters training / have a go day coming up that i will be involved in.
Ranges will vary from 100m to about 600m. Each person will sort out them selves what instruction / pointers they want to listen to and what distances they want to have a go at. Will give a few guys a chance to come along and see how their rifle shoots at the maximum range they are comfortable with. I know several guys who just want to see where their bush rifle shoots at 200m.
Will also give a few guys a chance to try their hunting rifles out at a little bit of distance. Demonstrate that it is not all about knowing how much elevation to hold. Show them that having an accurate rifle doesn't mean they can automatically hit at distance i.e. some skill on their behalf is also required.

Should be an entertaining day. Still have to sort the details though.
