Its all older stuff ? Whare is the range might have a couple of other shooters interested in going.

Anthing goes, as long as it was once used as a service rifle, clones such as AR15's, Mini 14's, AK's, M1's, M1A, etc are permitted. It must have been an issued service rifle calibre, .30 is OK, 6.5x55 is OK, 6.5x 47 is not OK.

We have the range for the day, so after the comp anything goes except hi-hi power such as 338 and 50's etc.

Drop us a note on Strathrpc at Yahoo.com for further info.

Range is at 57.5056 lat, -3.9088 long.
First shot down the range at 10:00 Sunday morning, 10th April, try & be there before that time for registration.
Bring anything you want to shoot (within normal muzzle velocities & energies). The early birds should be able to get a chance to check zero at 100/200 yards.

One week to go, anybody else fancy coming.
Full course of fire available by email.

Should be Tea/Coffee and bacon rolls available on the day.

All done, thanks to everyone who came, I just wish that a certain person hadn't come 'cos I came in second!

Next Service Rifle shoot is on 15th May at Cawdor Range for anybody interested.
