    Shooting Target And Game Sports .


    This is an advanced Hunters competition course of fire that will be held on the MNSCI range on Sunday the 28th May.

    The idea behind this type of competition is to replicate exactly the type of shooting that takes place in the field when hunting game and vermin ,i.e. Using any possible natural aid available to you when obstacles are in the way for you to shoot at your quarry.Its rare for a hunter to be able to shoot their quarry like a target shooter shooting paper targets on a range.

    In this competition there will be ten (10) details with ten (10) different scenarios to shoot in. Natural aids and obstacles will include trees, bushes,rushes, high grass, drains, wooden gates, ranch railings, round bales, logs, etc.

    Targets will be life size deer, foxes, steel plates, etc. (before the cranks start ringing me again ,the deer and fox targets are paper targets not real life animals !!!! ) There will also be running deer and McQueen's style targets. Enough to challenge everyone.

    The distances will be unknown, with the max distance of 300 metres and minimum distance of 40 metres.

    This shoot should prove to be realistic to hunting in the field.

    This is an open competition, (non members please bring copy of insurance and firearms permit )
