This popular CSR Winter League competition is running from October 2018 to April 2019.

For the majority of the league you can expect to be shooting from 100-600x in a mixture of standing, squatting, kneeling or prone positions.
The day is arranged with half of the competitors on the firing point at a time; the other half operating targetry in the butts.

The day is divided up into AM and PM, during both sessions you will shoot and be in the butts.
Full details on the course of fire are available in advance.
