Competitions

Competitors may use a different type of pistol between Varmint and Field Pistol matches if they wish. Longarms such as Shotguns and Rifles are employed in the Field and Action match as well.

Field Pistol

Field Pistol is a test of a shooter’s speed and accuracy at various distances. There may be one or multiple targets in different stages and the matches generally require movement between shooting positions which adds to the challenge when competing in these matches. Field Pistol is designed to be a movement match that adds another dimension to the shooting experience.

Varmint Match

Varmint Match is a precision static match using vermin targets at various ranges dependent on match requirements. For the longer ranges out to 200m shooters also use specialized pistols that are purpose built to shoot long distances, these compete in their own class, of course as shooters are welcome to also use standard pistols, and they do! This is normally a slow timed match as the goal is accuracy, not speed.
