On the 6th of May Worcester Air Rifle Club will launch the first of 3 rounds of this new competition .

The UK Sporting Rifle Challege is aimed at the fun shooter , the hunters and the social shooters.

The rifles will be sporter based, target rifles will be allowed to shoot , but will not be able to score in the challenge.

There will be classes for 22 , and for springers .

The competition is hunting based, where the targets will be realistic , at hunting ranges .

The shooters may adopt what ever shooting position they are most comfortable with, sitting , standing , kneeling or prone.

The targets will be positioned in such a way the shooter may have to sit or stand to see the target.

There will be no peg to hold onto , the rifle will be in the shooters hands, unless there is a strategic log or tree to rest on .

A huge scope will not help , maximum magnification allowed will be 12 power, further enhancing the social / fun / hunter aspect of the competition.

There will be 3 rounds , with the best 2 scores to count for the trophy at the end of the year .

So , if you are not a serious target shooter , and fancy a real fun shoot , please look at the web site link .

Dont worry if you only have a target rifle , you can join in , you will get a score, you will have a chance at the lucky draw prizes .

If you only have an old clunker plinker , come along , have a laugh , have a chance of being part of some thing new & fun , have a chance in the lucky draw !
