Event Descriptions (permitted firearms and courses of fire):

For the Rifle Match:

Permitted Rifles

Only unmodified milsurps of WWII or earlier design with iron sights may be used - no "bubbas" or sniper guns. 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 SKS, FN-49, and a scoped, Mojo'd or peep-sighted Yugo 24/47 are out. If you are not sure if your gun qualifies, please ask. Sling use is permitted and encouraged.

Course of Fire – Rifle

There will be four stages of 10 rounds each at 100 yards, and one (new) stage at 200 yards for a total of five stages:

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. Targets will be Shooting Federation of Canada 50 yard slow fire pistol targets.

No spotting scopes or spotters calling out shots is permitted.

All action and handling of firearms will be strictly controlled by an EOHC-appointed Range Safety Officer. Please read and be prepared to follow EOHC Range Safety Rules. Safety is paramount. See Eastern Ontario Handgun Club & Shooting Range 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 Open Match:

Same as for Rifle, but anything goes, e.g. any rifle, any sighting system, and shooting aids such as bipods are permitted (as long as they are in place for all stages).
