When shooting, it is a requirement that you be aware of any animals that may have strayed onto the range when the red flag is up, and firing is allowed, and draw the Range Officer’s attention to the fact so a ‘Cease Fire’ can be called. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1579739346254-XSXSFEIRQUS4BVY5C8HH/image-asset.jpeg Just Some Pics - Service Rifle Line Shooting Prone Sevice rifle competition shooting prone from the 300 yard line. https://www.ssaagleninnes.org/benchrest-rimfire-rifle daily 0.75 2024-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570957112739-5UBV812O2YRFLYKO2TRN/DSCN1345.JPG Benchrest Rimfire Rifle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570957231949-4UBWOTH8C193RNHQN7SD/DSCN1347.JPG Benchrest Rimfire Rifle Terry Howard shooting his light but accurate Lithgow LA01 in our rimfire comp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570958194072-363Q8Y4K0QGG4WOMJ89Y/fullsizeoutput_27dd.jpeg Benchrest Rimfire Rifle One of our rimfire shooters, uses a highly accurate ANSCHÜTZ heavy target rifle, off a specialised front rest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570959584885-DBDNLYPKM0WHTVW92V61/DSCN1372.JPG Benchrest Rimfire Rifle Our top shooters also ‘dress the range’, from their bench to the target, with ‘wind flags’, which indicate the direction and speed of the wind on the range, allowing the shooter to ‘aim off’ as required to have the wind ‘blow the bullet’ into the bull. Reading the wind in .22lr rimfire shooting, is a skill absolutely needed to make consistent very high scores. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1569996000721-2Z4WC6T021S0X2HIIPNT/IMG_0628.JPG Benchrest Rimfire Rifle Group shooting involves trying to put five shots anywhere on the target, but into the smallest spread of holes as possible; with the distance between the furtherest apart two shots being the size that goes on the scoresheet for that shooter. Ten minutes is allowed to shoot the group. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570956666591-B886LMTAKU4YZ0M6G0P6/DSCN1359.JPG Benchrest Rimfire Rifle The hunter target is of the familiar kind, with rings marked with scoring points, with the bullseye in the centre scoring highest 10. However a shot which also hits a single ‘dot’ in the centre of the bull scores an extra ‘point one’, and with our most accurate shooters, it is often only these extra ‘super-accuracy’ points that are needed to separate those in the top places on that target. There are five targets on a card and the shooter puts two shots in each one, which gives a possible score of ‘100-point-Ten’ which if ever shot, is a score to remember! (Note : The 6th bottom right target in the box, is a ‘sighting target’, which shooters use to ‘test the wind’, and so the hold-offs needed to hit the bull, in the seven minutes allowed for this target. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570956778462-QSQCMFFEPQCUE2XZC2OJ/DSCN1367.JPG Benchrest Rimfire Rifle Other targets that are regularly shot in our comps include ‘The Rat’, which allows no sighting shots, and requires two shots in each target, including the indistinct target in the body of the rat, which is a particular challenge as it can be difficult to see your shots there,. Therefore, basic skills such as knowing how many shots have been fired are practiced. Occasionally ‘novelty targets’, such as one called ‘The Black Death’ are fun to shoot, and make a day at the range not such a serious undertaking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570956883640-BMUNAK1BR6PBHCLXGCEE/DSCN1351.JPG Benchrest Rimfire Rifle Our rimfire comp scorers are exacting in their assessment of each target, using special tools to separate a shot which touches a scoring ring, and therefore gets the high score, (called best-edge scoring) from one which is very close but not quite there. In group shooting, here, they are measuring the spread of the shots to 0.001 of an inch! https://www.ssaagleninnes.org/service-pistol daily 0.75 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1571785648986-SL34BN7KEMDCSTFH1IGI/DSCN1423.JPG Service Pistol Recoil! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1571785828569-0OQ3OMU4XBB6T8SQMMHD/DSCN1440.JPG Service Pistol Service pistol targets are shot using a variety of different holds and seating positions.

Here a shooter checks his 6BR rifle / Nightforce scope combo. For target shoots, it can be an advantage to know the clicks to wind into your scope when shooting score targets at different distances, rather than trying to work hold-overs. Windy days for our centrefire shoots are also useful in letting target shooters get a feeling for hold-offs, left and right when the flags are snapping! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570847909366-OE88CDFOLMITRTACM3KP/DSCN1335.JPG Centrefire Rifle Shoot A shooter gets in a little bipod work with his hunting .223, to make sure it will put shots where he wants them when out in the scrub. Being able to set up a target at 100, 200, or 300 yards, or possibly at all three allows you to work out holdovers or scope clicks for hunting in one session. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570847680193-0C2SB4RB6HSL3VGC5X17/DSCN1328.JPG Centrefire Rifle Shoot Nine benches are available on the Emmaville centrefire range, so there is always plenty of time to do the testing you need with a shoot that starts at 9:30 and often doesn’t wrap up until 2:00PM. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570848146158-38UBWJ4NZ7NI4JNONKYB/DSCN1342.JPG Centrefire Rifle Shoot Re-loaders particularly benefit from our centrefire shoot. Load up a selection of different rounds with variations in projectile, powder, seating etc, and see which works best in your gun. Or if you buy factory ammunition only, it is great to test a new type before going out on that much anticipated hunt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570847844174-VM8W1WJIOW3SPBSNV4UN/DSCN1344.JPG Centrefire Rifle Shoot Checking a nice little .223 group using 80grn projectiles out of an 1:8 twist barrel. Working out what is the maximum projectile weight your rifle will stabilise, can be an advantage in competition shoots if the wind gets up. The club also has a chronograph for hire for those shooters who want to go to the next level in load development for their rifles. https://www.ssaagleninnes.org/br-30-rimfire-shoot daily 0.75 2023-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570339732347-6UCM7CDZIG24H0SOJM2H/fullsizeoutput_23aa.jpeg BR 30 Rimfire Shoot In BR30, rifles are weighed before a shoot, and scores are adjusted via with percentage bonuses or penalties being applied depending on the weight. Thus a light hunting style rifle like this can compete with heavy target shooting rifles in the hands of a good shooter. Check our BR30 guide to see how your rifle would fit in the weight categories. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570340776289-JR9L5ECPAJ7COOQJSQMR/DSCN0933.JPG BR 30 Rimfire Shoot Shooting great cards in BR30 requires excellent technique, and especially with the need to fire a ‘shot every 30 seconds’ to make the time limit, a top mind-game also so as not to get flustered when a hole appears in to be ouching the 25 ring instead of the bull! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570340614465-YI57NDYMVQ1UVMKEYRAT/Shot+Target.png BR 30 Rimfire Shoot A BR30 target has, as the name implies, thirty small targets on it, set at 50metres from the benches You place one shot each target for a maximum score of 3000. In the 15 minutes allowed, you may however also shoot as many ‘sighting shots’ as you wish, into the top part of the target to test your rifle and the wind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570341580505-C9EOOCN5NSX44EMHVB0T/fullsizeoutput_271c.jpeg BR 30 Rimfire Shoot If you shoot a gun-weight-adjusted score on a card of 1000 or more, your card is sent to SSAA NSW Head Office for checking, and if the score adds up, they send back a Bronze Pin for our Chairman to present to you. A couple of our regular shooters have however shot above 1800 points, and so they are the proud owners of a silver pin. No one in the club has yet shot 2400 points to earn a Gold award, but we hope with shoots being regularly enough shot, that great day will soon arrive. https://www.ssaagleninnes.org/history daily 0.75 2023-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570428702512-JRAORB9T07E23E44DR6A/DSCN0739.JPG History https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570428578844-EJVBNT2O6OMK4OTQ7XOL/DSCN0512.JPG History https://www.ssaagleninnes.org/membership-licensing daily 0.75 2024-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570608062664-62CW48QKKRPXL5TO3GJL/IMG_2818.jpg Membership & Licensing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d8ee3c8b3f0a43f5acba637/1570101263529-JPEAPXVIGSL8T90Y1QHA/public.jpeg Membership & Licensing Evan Brown helping a new shooter negotiate the steps required to become a licensed firearms owner.
