I am running a 900 bullseye league at Bridgeport Rifle Club in Stratford on the 3rd Thursday of the month (OCT through March). This is an NRA approved league. The next match is Nov 20th.

You can shoot either .22 or CF or shoot two relays and shoot both.

I also have a separate category for shooters who prefer to shoot 2 handed. This is an excellent opportunity to try bullseye shooting. Any new shooters with questions or need help PM me.

We are shooting this match in the same order as the SECTIONAL. This is an opportunity to practice for the SECTIONAL and get used to the turning targets at BRC.

Send me a PM for more information.

Here's a link to the full program on Bridgeport Rifle Club's website:
