ONTARIO RIFLE ASSOCIATION

Monday, April 30, 2012 - 19:17

The first Precision shoot is currently scheduled for May 5th at Mons Range pending any last minute changes as usual. The shoot will be conducted using a clinic / practice format to allow some new shooters to be properly introduced to the discipline and the veterans to fine tune their equipment and skills. Be ready to shoot from 200 out to 800 yards and bring a minimum of 75 rounds as I intend to get as much shooting in as possible. I will also be asking for some of the veterans to help out with the "new guys" to insure that they don't get lost with the program. Please plan on meeting at the Butts "targets" at 7:30am for administration, target assignments, etc and helping out with the setup.

As always bring your lunch and refreshments to eliminate any delays and allow us to get as much shooting in as possible.

There will be NO FEES for ORA members for this one so make sure you bring your membership card. The Guest Fee will be $45.00 as usual and make sure you bring your PAL. Please confirm your attendance so I can have the appropriate number of targets prepared and let me know if you will be needing a club gun and ammunition. Email address oraprecision@hotmail.ca

Looking forward to seeing you at Mons,

Rudy Palladina

These changes have been implemented as of today.
