Last night we had our second Tuesday night Sporterifle shoot. We have enjoyed the experience and will be continuing on Tuesday nights and would love to see additional people out to join us. The course of fire is designed to allow a wide participation from juniors, thru adults and including seniors. The Target used is: NRA A32 Target The Sporterifle course of fire will consists of 30 record shots with a possible total of 300 points, fired slow-fire, single loaded from the standing position at 50 feet. Three targets shall be fired with ten record shots on each target. Each target shall have two shots on each record bull, with unlimited shots on the sighter. The time allowance shall be ten minutes for each ten shot target, including any fouler, sighting, and all record shots. The scores are documented and sent in each week (postal match) and compared against teams not only within Western New York, but across New York State. This new activity is a great opportunity to bring out your [...] Continue reading Tuesday Night Sporterifle The dates for the 2010 Indoor Sectional Championship have been approved by the NRA and we will host our local Sectional over three days: March 12 to 14, 2010. The official program is attached to this post. Competitors may begin signing up at any time. For club members, we will need many volunteers to make this event run smoothly. Of all of the shoots that we host each year, it is the largest. There will be more information posted about this later. I’m putting up this post to see what kind of interest we can generate in an indoor rifle night. I believe It would either be on Tuesday, or Friday nights and we would be working toward fielding a team in one of the Light Rifle/ Sporter Rifle Disciplines. The first few weeks will serve to gauge both interest and the size of the group that we can muster. What you need to bring: a .22 Rifle, and appropriate ammo. Iron Sights, or Optics(scope) are allowed, but to fire for score, the rifle must weigh less than 7.5 pounds, (if your rifle is heavier than that, you are welcome to shoot alongside us, but cannot officially compete) Sporterifle does not need expensive equipment to participate in, and odds are, you already have own all the equipment you need. It will also help to attract new members to the club, as well as offer a good opportunity to bring your child(ren) to the club. Picture of a Ruger 10/22 Sporter Rifle There are a [...] Continue reading Indoor Rifle Nights To posses a handgun (revolver or otherwise) in New York State, you are required to have a pistol permit. Possess includes shooting, or even holding, not just owning. There are several steps that must be completed in order for a permit to be issued. These are the flaming hoops requirements that Erie County and the State of New York presently impose on Pistol Permit applicants. In order to apply for a pistol permit in Erie County, you must be 21 years of age and be a resident of Erie County. You are not required to buy or own a gun at the time of application. (but you will be required to purchase or co-register one later in the process) Continue reading How to Obtain a Pistol Permit in Erie County There are usually two block officers required at all outdoor bullseye matches. The Range Officer is responsible for the safe and orderly conduct of the range and he “runs” the match and the Block Officers assist the Range Officer by acting as additional eyes and ears. One Block Officer will be in charge of the right side shooting positions and the other Block Officer will be in charge of the left side shooting positions. At our club, we always try to have two sets of Block Officers: one set scheduled to arrive before the match begins and the other set scheduled to arrive about three hours later to relieve the first set. Before the match begins, the Block Officers will help set up the range for the day’s match. This includes setting targets in the frames, bringing out replacement centers, setting up the public address system and speakers, and the equipment that turns the targets. At the start of each phase of the match, the Range Officer will give [...] Continue reading How To Be a Block Officer at Outdoor Bullseye Matches Ten-X Shooting Club is proud to have hosted the Outdoor Championship at our Range in Newstead, NY on September 19th and 20th.
