Invercargill Range Invitational Club Shoot

Our Club has been invited to compete against the Fiordland firearms club and the Southland NZDA in a three way competition to celebrate the certification of the Invercargill range and shooting out to 600yds.

The proposed competition will be a last man standing event. You will be paired against another shooter, and you will compete at 200 yards, centre fire rifle, with shooting from prone, kneeling and standing, as fast as possible to hit the two steel targets - 1 large and 1 small.

6 rounds minimum. So, the first one to hit the two gongs in the 3 shooting positions wins (there is two range set ups) you use as many rounds as you need to complete the target hits.

So depending on how many turn up will govern how many rounds you need however I suggest a minimum of 50 to be safe.

The steels are generously sized so don't panic to much. 

$20 cash only at the range. 

You will be required to do a 100m sighting test to get your rifle approved prior to the comp. ie hit the 1 inch dot from prone. This is part of their range rules before you are allowed to compete, so this is when you sight in if you need to. (bring extra rounds)

Bring a tarp/plastic drop sheet and a blanket to lie on, gumboots as its very wet in the surrounding paddocks. Some snacks to munch on.

There will be opportunity for steel gongs after the comp and some other bits - yet to be determined. 

Once we have some confirmed numbers, we can sort carpooling and other accommodation etc if you want to stay the night before or after. 

The Range entrance is located near the airport in Otatara here Google Maps
