Each shooter will fire a total of 20 shots with a maximum possible score of 200. 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 www.eohc.ca for that information as well as directions to the club.
Competitors provide the firearm and ammo. There exists the potential for kind souls to lend a firearm if the participant provides the ammo (a minimum of 30 rounds is suggested). If you lack an appropriate firearm, I suggest you post your request here and then take it from there by PM.
