RIFLES
We have a regular monthly rifle shoot on the 5th Sunday of each month at 10:00 am sharp.
This shoot is geared to improve your shooting ability in practical shooting situations. It is meant to be challenging and fun. The entry fee is $10.
In an effort to be inclusive of varying physical abilities we are offering a flexible format. Here's how the shoot breaks down:
Two shots taken at each distance. Calibre is 6mm/.243 and up. The use of a rifle sling as a shooting aid is acceptable at each distance, but rests (or lack of) are otherwise noted.
25 yards - Paper target off hand. Score = sum of shots on target.
50 yards - Paper target from bench off elbows (no rests). Score = sum of shots on target.
75 yards - Baloons off hand. Score = 3pts/baloon.
100 yards - Paper target off hand, but using rifle shed posts as support. Score = sum of shots + 3 pts for a tight group.
150 yards - Paper target, shooters choice: from bench off elbows. Score = sum of shots + 3 pts for tight group OR Seated on ground. Score = sum of shots + 3 pts for tight group + 3pts for difficulty of improvised position.
200 yards - Paper target, shooters choice: from bench with rest. Score = sum of shots + 3 pts for tight group OR Prone with backpack/bipod. Score = sum of shots + 3 pts for tight groups + 3 pts for improvised position.
The shooter with the highest overall score wins. Prizes will be awarded based on shoot attendance (ie lots of shooters = more prizes paid out).

Junior 22 Club Shoot
The SVRGC is excited to offer a new Junior 22 club shoot. This will give a chance for some of our younger shooters, age 17 and under, to have an introduction to firearms and/or hone their skills.
Held every 4th Sunday on the Pistol Range, bring your youth and their favourite .22LR rimfire rifle to learn: basic firearm handling, ACT & PROVE, and target shooting techniques (and as time progresses – cleaning).
A limited number of firearms are available for those that do not own one, but would like to be introduced shooting. There is a small $5 entrance fee. The club will supply the ammunition and targets.
Eye and ear protection is madatory. As is parental supervision - this is not a drop off and pick up activity.
If you are interested, and/or have questions please contact Mike Schaber at jr22shoot@svrgc.org.
.22 Silhouette Shoot
22 Silhouette shoots are held the third Sunday of each month starting at 10am.
The sport uses metallic targets painted black and setup against a white background forming a silhouette of the target and paper bullseye targets. Our shoots allow the use of .22 rimfire rifles with iron sights only. No scopes are allowed.
The shoots are suitable for all ages and abilities. It is a great introductory to shooting for young shooters. The regular participants are a dedicated bunch and welcome new shooters and seasoned veterans alike. Come on out and hone your shooting skills with these friendly competitions.
