The Conservation Club of Brockport announced that they will be offering a 2018-2019 Sporterifle league. Sporterifle is an indoor “postal” 22 caliber rimfire rifle competitive league open to shooters of all ages and experience levels. Over 50 teams participate statewide. The shooting position is off-hand standing at a fixed target 50 feet away. Expensive shooting equipment is not required. The club has a number of firearms available for shooters who do not have their own.
The league is open to club members and to the general public. Beginning September 11, participants may join and shoot at 12:30 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. Alternatively, enrollment and shooting also takes place on September 14 at 5:30 p.m. Competition is weekly. Participants may shoot at any of the three available times on Tuesdays or Fridays. Beginning in September, the league typically runs through the fall and winter into February. There is a final “championship/trophy shoot” at the end of the season
Interested participants should plan to attend on either September 11 or 14. Bring a full box of 22 rimfire target shells. There is a modest cost to join the league and a minimal weekly cost to shoot. Junior shooters (ages 12-18) are not required to pay a league fee. The club fee is $1 for juniors. More details are available at the Sporterifle site http://www.sporterifle.org/
Also, watch for upcoming Bowhunter Education and Hunter Education classes at the 291 Ladue Road clubhouse. A Bowhunters course is scheduled for September 7 and 8 and a Hunter Education (required for a small game or large game license) is planned for October 11 and 13. Enrollment for these courses is through the DEC Hunter Education site.
