Target Shooting
I am involved with the following shooting disciplines:
- Full-bore Target Rifle (0.308" Winchester, single shot rifle, using iron "peephole" sights on paper targets at between 300 & 1000 yards - I favour a Swing action on a relatively custom stock machined from a solid billet of Aluminium).
- ISSF 300m Rifle (I'm using one of my 0.308" Winchester, single shot rifles, using iron "peephole" sights on paper targets at 300m - but in due course I expect to switch to 6mm BR or 6XC).
- F-Class Rifle (F-TR, using a 0.308" Winchester caliber single shot rifle, with few class rules other than an overall weight limit - I'm currently trying to set up an old Springfield 1903 to prove that it's possible to compete without spending masses on the latest kit - this is still a work in progress!!!)
- Small-bore Rifle (0.22" Rimfire single shot rifle, using iron "peephole" sights on paper targets at 25 yard indoors and 50m outdoors - my favourite is a BSA Mk 4 though I also have an old Russian biathlon rifle)
- Air Rifle & Air Pistol (0.177" air rifle or air pistol, below the legal power limit, on paper targets at 10m)
- Clay Pigeon
- Gallery Rifle (so far only 0.22" rimfire, paper targets at out to 50m, using a Marlin 39A underlever iron sighted rifle)
