Event Descriptions (permitted firearms and courses of fire):



For the Military Rifle Match:

Permitted Rifles

Only unmodified milsurps of WWII or earlier design with iron sights may be used - no "bubbas" or sniper guns (they have their own category). Must be as issued, full military wood & sights, no exceptions. Based on this definition, for example a 1950's Garand, Mosin M44, Irish contract No4 MkII and Spanish Mauser bolt gun are in, but the FN-49, and a scoped, Mojo'd or peep-sighted Yugo 24/47 are out. SKS's are permitted - all variants including Norinco "clones", but they must be in original military configuration - "not pimped out". If you are not sure if your gun qualifies, please ask. Sling use is permitted and encouraged.


Course of Fire – Military Rifle

There will be four stages of 10 rounds each at 100 yards, and one stage of 10 rounds at 200 yards for a total of five stages. Three minutes is allotted for the 10 rounds (including reloading) at 100 yds, five minutes for the 200 yd event:

At 100 yards

- 10 standing;
- 10 kneeling or sitting;
- 10 prone;
- 10 snap (five second "exposure", followed by 10 second "hidden"); and

At 200 yards

- 10 freestyle. Shooter may choose any safe position of their choice, but may not employ shooting aids, such as shooting sticks, bipods and rests of any kind (other than your own body).

Each shooter will fire a total of 50 shots with a maximum possible score of 500. The targets used will be the Shooting Federation of Canada 50 yard slow fire pistol target.

No spotting scopes or spotters calling out shots is permitted.

All action and handling of firearms will be strictly controlled by an EOHC-appointed Range Safety Officer. Please read and be prepared to follow EOHCRange Safety Rules. Safety is paramount. See www.eohc.ca for that information as well as directions to the club.

Competitors provide the firearm and ammo - a mat for the prone and kneeling/sitting stage is strongly suggested. There exists the potential for kind souls to lend a firearm if the participant provides the ammo (a minimum of 60 rounds is suggested). If you lack an appropriate firearm, I suggest you post your request here and then take it from there by PM.


For the Mad Minute

Permitted Rifles

Any rifle eligible for the Military or Military Sniper.

Course of Fire

As many shots as possible in one minute at 200 yds from the 100 yd berm (so the distance is 100 yds), and we will maintain separate scoring for semi-autos. Target will be the 11/59 "Charging Man". See bottom of post for picture and scoring scheme.


For the Open Match

Same as for Rifle, but anything goes, e.g. any firearm, any sighting system, and shooting aids such as bipods are permitted - they may be used in any or all stages as desired. Handguns are not permitted.



Prizes and Displays

We want to keep it simple, with a focus on friendly competition, developing a sense of community, increasing interest in the shooting sports and of collection and preservation of milsurps.

Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each event will consist of bragging rights and pics posted on Gunnutz.
