How the Game Works

Shoot at a metal target referred to as a "knock down." The knock down will have a string leading back to the firing line. This string allows the target to be reset and fired at again. The object is to get as many targets to fall as possible throughout the course. This game can be very challenging. Shooters who know their trajectory will find themselves doing really well. Targets will be placed from as close as 10 yards to 55-60 yards or so. The kill zone sizes on the targets are as big as 1-1/2 inches and decrease from there.

Not Much Gear Needed

1) Bring a cushion to sit on and your air gun. It can be a special field target cushion or it can be an old boat seat. A cushion just needs to be six inches or less. The idea is to have a firm enough support for your self while holding the rifle in the sitting position. If shooting standing, then no cusion is needed.

2) Fire 2 shots at a metal target called a "knock down". The shooter has to make the pellet travel through a small hole and hit a paddle behind it. If the target falls, mark 1 point on the score card. If a miss, then mark it accordingly.

3) Work your way around 10 lanes with 2 targets and 2 shots per target and you have just completed the 40 shot match. Sounds easy. It is, and a great way to meet new people and enjoy a relatively safe sport. Perfect for the whole family to enjoy. So give us a call or come by.
