About the Event
Engage steel target vital zones on game animal silhouettes in realistic scenarios around the hills of Sparrowhawk. Sharp angles, long distances, multi-target stages, different shooting positions, and an unpredictable environment will test hunters and target shooters alike. This match is not one that people should expect to hit every target on (nobody did last year), and will be a fun and unique challenge for shooters to diagnose where their skill and equipment need improvements.
If you are not already a SSANZ member, you will receive a membership for the rest of the year as part of entering the match.
