    Oaks Open Sights Competition Saturday 23rd November (Round 6 of 6)

    Final round of this years competition so trophies to present at the end of the day!

    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 4:00pm (dark by then anyway)

    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 (or what ever has open sights) and come along and have a go!

    I plan to reset the Open sight course between 9 and 11am on Saturday morning (nearest the plink first) so the plink will be open from around 10am onwards......
