Join us at the Ancient City Air Gun Competition
What could be better? An amazing little gem called Saint Augustine; a brand new private gun range tucked away on a private property only 10 minutes from down town, a pig roast, some beverages and of course air guns!! This Ancient City Airgun Challenge event is not to be missed. The event is being held on Saturday May 25th, 2024 and we hope that you can join us as a spectator or a competitor – to register please go here.
This air gun competition is going to be a fast-shooting high energy timed format designed to challenge the most competent shooter. The Ultra Fast format is an official shooting standard developed by Ultra-Match Precision Airgun Association. Shooters will shoot in 4 separate stages with 7 targets in each stage. All stages are timed and are intended to replicate a fast-hunting scenario. Shooters will engage from various shooting positions (see official rules) at each of the stages. A total of 10 rounds are allowed for each stage with a maximum score of 100 available points per stage.
