Why dont you blokes have a Hunter/Class shoot down there? Its an easy shoot to run and easy to set up and score.One shot per bull 5 bulls to a target plus a sighter

How many turns at the bench in a shoot? I forget - are they called relays- I forget

I was looking on the Mackay site of your to see the target face- but couldn't find it.

G'Day all,
they do run a factory rifle hunter class style shoot organised by another chap that runs side by side with the BR shoots, basically bring what you've got.

Details/relays are used to create a group (no pun intended) of shooters to fill available benches. So if you have say 15 shooters and only 10 benches to use. You can have 2 details of say 10 shooters and 5 shooters or 7 and 8 etc. They will all shoot 5 target sheets each and there will be effectively 2 details x 5 matches for a total of 10 rounds of shooting if you like.

So any shooter on the day will be allocated to a detail and they will alternate with the other detail to shoot 5 target faces per distance. If it is a 2 distance event then you will shoot 10 targets split over say 100 200 yds for CF.

The club often runs a CF event and a RF event to save wear and tear on CF barrels and to allow other shooters with RF rifles to have a go as well.

If you're not sure make a date and go have a look to get a feel on how the events are run.

hope this helps
