The Northeast Ohio Airgunners (N.O.A.) will be holding a field target match this Sunday, July 15, 2018, at Twin Oaks Air Rifle Range in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Sight-in starts at 8:00am and match starts at 10:30am. The current weather forecast for now calls for partly cloudy skies and a high of 86F.
We will have a bathroom available, either in the club house or at a nearby garage on the property.
Please be aware that this is private property and we are graciously being offered the use of the land by the property owner so be respectful and considerate. We will be providing various signs throughout the property as well as on Bell Street to help direct you to the range and parking areas.
Be extremely careful walking the course trail. There may still be exposed tree stumps and roots left from our initial course clearing. If you find a hazard let us know and we will mark it and clear it at our next maintenance day.
The club will be raffling off a 2006, 66 cu ft Scott carbon fiber tank and filled to 4500 psi. donated by Bill Rabbitt. The tank was last hydro tested in 2017 and does not include a fill hose. Tickets will be $5 each or 5 tickets for $20.

1. Sight-in range opens at 8 am.
2. Registration from 8 till 9:30 am.

4. Match starts at 10:30 am.

We will include our Novice and Junior classes. The idea of these classes is to provide an airgun shooting opportunity for inexperienced shooters. Some of you, probably all of you, have family members or friends that might like to join you on the course, but they are not really up to the full blown FT challenge. Well, here’s the answer, they can join you and shoot the course in the Novice or Junior class.
Our Novice and Junior classes use the same simple modified rules. Rather than shoot the regular course which includes a near target and farther target, the Novice and Junior classes will shoot only the near target. All four shots will be taken at this target and the scoring is the same as that used on the regular course: one point for a knock down and zero points for a face hit. Novice and Junior classes will not distinguish between power plants, whether it be PCP, Piston, C02, or single or multi-stroke pneumatic. Junior class is any shooter under the age of 18 and Novice is for those 18 years and older. We will however only be providing awards for Juniors, assuming two or more Juniors are shooting the match. We do ask that if you shoot Novice class twice, the next match you shoot, please move into one of the other regular classes where you will shoot both the near target and the far target. Of course, if a junior or new shooter would rather shoot the normal course in one of the regular classes that is always welcomed.
All shooters under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. If the parent or guardian is not going to shoot the match, they still need to supervise the minor at each lane on the field target course for the entire match. One parent or legal guardian may accompany up to two minors.
