Other Competitions

During the year we will also runs some one off competitions and some of these will count towards trophies such as the Phoenix Trophy.  We’ll make sure everyone knows which ones these will be in advance.

 Notes and Other General Rules

Any shots fired after the cease fire will attract a ten point penalty, as will any hits above ten unless there is clear evidence of cross-firing by another shooter, in which case the obvious extra shot will be discounted.  If no obvious shot (such as a different calibre etc) then a score of  five will be deducted.

In all unsupported competitions, only the elbows are permitted to rest on the ground or any support – there must be obvious clearance between the forearms, hands and the ground/desk/bench.

In timed competitions, there is no allowance for jams, malfunctions or misfires  unless the Range Conducting Officer decides that in the interests of fairness that the clock can be stopped and re-started once the malfunction has been cleared.

AMMUNITION AND GUNS

ONLY ammunition and guns which are permissible under the Range Operating Rules are allowed. (eg: NO High Muzzle Energy rifles – if you are unsure please ask.)

Scoring

Usually, Inward gauging (a hit on the edge of a scoring ring attracts the higher score) but for some competitions outward gauging may be used.
For the scoped and Iron Sights competitions, the scoring rings on the target will count, and any hit on the target itself outside the rings will score 3.

How Places Are Decided

The competitions will start on 1st January each year, ending in November at the last shoot before the Christmas prizegiving.
We will try to publish the scores as soon as we can after each shoot on this website, but please bear with us if there is a delay of a day or two !
