How much ammo required? I've never attended a shooting event before...

The normal course of fire is 2 sighting shots + 10 counting shots per round of shooting.
More if you are having trouble getting onto the target (which you shouldn't be if you have a known zero).

Figure on 2 rounds of shooting, 20 -24, more if you want to stay for the afternoon's shooting at 500 & 600 yards.

Those who are interested please email the club.

I emailed them couple weeks ago and haven't had a response, has anyone emailed and not heard or heard back?.

I did, booked myself in and then we had to scoot over to Hokitika to look at a property yesterday so missed out on the range day bugger it. Hopefully they may run another one next year.

I hope so, I was keen to go, then realised that was when I was away up north visiting family... any more events like that in Canterbury over the summer?
