We will run the first match this year over a six month period, commencing on 1st May 08 Entry will be free for Sportsman’s Association members, and non association members will be expected to “Donate” £5.00 to S.A funds, for each competition they wish to compete in. Scores to be sent in by Email using the form published here. Collated results will be published on our website each month. The scores from two runs through the course of fire each month are to be submitted. If you wish, you can shoot as far in advance as you like. Scores must be nominated for the competition BEFORE shooting, so that you cannot just pick out your best scores of the month to send in. Nominate three runs through the course of fire (before shooting them of course) and send in the two best as your competition scores.

Targets

Where Turning targets are needed and the club does not possess them, then timing on the whistle is allowed, but it must be stated on the score sheet that the targets were static. If we get enough entries I will arrange separate leagues for static and turning targets.

If the club only has a 20 yard range then the 25m competitions may be shot on scaled down targets that are available from the NSRA. If you have difficulty getting hold of Targets, let me know and I will see about getting some printed, for you to purchase from us.

Late shots on static targets.

In the case of a late shot, deduct the lowest scoring shot, then highest scoring shot for each subsequent late shot.

Courses of fire
