Why;

• The Cdo & SAS Family Day Shoot has been a premier event on our Social Calendar for quite a few years now,
• It provides a great opportunity for a catch up and a bit of fun and friendly rivalry with the competition and awards.

How;

• Firearms and ammunition are being supplied by the two associations & their committees, those that have either a.303, Shotgun & or a small calibre rifle, let me know,
• $20 flat rate will be charged for firers shooting on all three ranges to help cover costs, with exceptions managed on the day, e.g. only firing on one range etc,
• A donation towards the range preparation, and the purchasing of stores/ equipment by both Toby (property owner) & Rory (ACAQ member, CD & Cdo) would be appreciated,
• Range Safety Staff will predominantly be executive committee members of the associations, however those licenced firers may be asked to help out from time to time,
• No alcohol will be present at the range area, consumed prior, or during the shoots. Once the range is closed all are welcome to retreat to the campground where any BYO alcohol will be kept.

Thank You.
