Event Descriptions (permitted firearms and courses of fire):
For the Military Rifle Match:
Permitted Rifles
Only unmodified milsurps of WWII or earlier design with iron sights may be used - no "bubbas" or sniper guns (they have their own category). Must be as issued, full military wood & sights, no exceptions. Based on this definition, for example a 1950's Garand, Mosin M44, Irish contract No4 MkII and Spanish Mauser bolt gun are in, but the FN-49, and a scoped, Mojo'd or peep-sighted Yugo 24/47 are out. SKS's are permitted - all variants including Norinco "clones", but they must be in original military configuration - "not pimped out". If you are not sure if your gun qualifies, please ask. Sling use is permitted and encouraged.
Course of Fire – Military Rifle
There will be four stages of 10 rounds each at 100 yards, and one stage of 10 rounds at 200 yards for a total of five stages. Three minutes is allotted for the 10 rounds (including reloading) at 100 yds, five minutes for the 200 yd event:
At 100 yards
- 10 standing;
- 10 kneeling or sitting;
- 10 prone;
- 10 snap (five second "exposure", followed by 10 second "hidden"); and
At 200 yards
- 10 freestyle. Shooter may choose any safe position of their choice, but may not employ shooting aids, such as shooting sticks, bipods and rests of any kind (other than your own body).
Each shooter will fire a total of 50 shots with a maximum possible score of 500. The targets used will be the Shooting Federation of Canada 50 yard slow fire pistol target.
No spotting scopes or spotters calling out shots is permitted.
All action and handling of firearms will be strictly controlled by an EOSC-appointed Range Safety Officer. Please read and be prepared to follow EOHC Range Safety Rules. Safety is paramount. See www.eosc.ca for that information as well as directions to the club.
Competitors provide the firearm and ammo - a mat for the prone and kneeling/sitting stage is strongly suggested. There exists the potential for kind souls to lend a firearm if the participant provides the ammo (a minimum of 60 rounds is suggested). If you lack an appropriate firearm, I suggest you post your request here and then take it from there by PM.
For the Mad Minute
Permitted Rifles
Any rifle eligible for the Military Match.
Course of Fire
Standing. 10 shots (or more!) in one minute (including reloading). Target will be the 11/59 "Charging Man". Scores are: 10 (two inner rectangles); 5 (next outer rectangle); 4 (anywhere on body): and 0 anywhere else.
Prizes and Displays
We want to keep it simple, with a focus on friendly competition, developing a sense of community, increasing interest in the shooting sports and of collection and preservation of milsurps.
Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each event will consist of bragging rights and pics posted on Gunnutz.
