    Oaks Open Sights (rifle and pistol) Competition 13th July

    This is open to all rifles and pistols fitted with open sights
    Peep sights are allowed on vintage and classic so long as they are original to the rifle, Modern and PCP can have notch or peep sights, pistol will be open sights only.
    Five classes:
    VINTAGE (Spring / pump) -PRE 1956
    CLASSIC (Spring / pump) -PRE 1986
    MODERN (Spring / pump)
    PCP
    PISTOL

    15 TARGETS FULL SIZE KILLS, MINIMUM 8 YARDS MAXIMUM 30 YARDS, NO TARGETS WILL BE OBSCURED
    Rifles - each target shot standing / kneeling / prone – Max score 90
    Pistols - position of your choice (but pistol unsupported) & one shot per target

    £2 members £5 guests / visitors (covers you for both sessions)

    Start at 12 noon - safety briefing at 11:50 and again at 2pm - course will close and cards must be returned by 4:30pm

    So far we have shot rifle only in the first session and mixed rifle or pistol in the second session (you get two goes that way!)

    Just dig out your old springer and come along and have a go!

    So what are the rules and BBQ timings? I assume we eat after the first round otherwise I will only manage one prone shot!
    How do I stop Si777 grabbing my Tournedos?
    I will bring a 12v fridge that may help in the heat.
    Only joking Si!!

    We could aim to serve at 12:00 then shoot from 12:30ish with the option to top up after the first round (9th hole style.....)
