- CLUB TARGETS We shoot on two different styles of targets. Wednesday nights we shoot at 50 metres and each month we either have "Club Class" (below) or ISSF. Club Class targets are not international standard but are easier, having a larger central "10" scoring circle enabling novice shooters to accrue a good score. Shooters are allowed 5 scoring shots per aiming circle. targets have a second central "bullseye" in the middle for a higher score. There are 5 aiming marks per card, 4 for scoring, one in the middle is for aiming and practice.
ISSF TARGETS ISSF targets (International Shooting Sport Federation) are shot every second month. These are harder to shoot as the central "10" scoring circle is smaller. There are five aiming circles per card, 4 are for scoring, the centre one is for aiming and practice. Shooters must hit the very centre to score the maximum of "10.1" Like the Club Class, shooters are allowed a maximum of 5 scoring shots per aiming circle, making a potential total of 50.5, or 200.20 per card. Targets for Benchrest have 20 smaller aiming marks, 1 shot each.
CLUB COMPETITIONS Every Wednesday night, we have a nightly winner for the highest score for prone and bench rest. The best three scores are added each month for a monthly prize (awarded annually). There are main prizes for the cumulative monthly scores over the year for Club and ISSF in both Prone and Benchrest disciplines. The club also holds an annual Open Championship Competition during the Queen's Birthday weekend.
