CHAS Service Rifle League

Due to the federal government implementing an Order in Council on May 1st 2020 which banned the use of a large percentage of the rifles we use for our matches, we will be allowing the use of any rifle any sight, optics a max setting of 4 power.

We will modify our courses of fire to allow the use of bolt actions where required.

The Service Rifle League Usually runs on the second Sunday of each month March through November. Please check the calendar on the webpage

In addition to Service Rifle, the league also runs Service Pistol and Sniper Rifle matches. Always check the on-line schedule for match dates and updates.
