Fellow members our 2010 schedule of events is now coming to an end. The last 3 activities scheduled for 2010 are the following.

SUN 30TH MAY BR OPEN. (NEW)
and
SAT 12TH JUNE BR NATIONALS DAY 1
SUN 13TH JUNE BR NATIONALS DAY 2

All these events are Benchrest and I remind you that the scores in the nationals will be sent to the UK BR 22 postal for 2010.

MAAC air rifle section already agreed and launched the activity schedule for 2011 so as to inform you of what to expect in the coming season. MAAC Airrifle section have prepared an interesting format for 2011 with some radical changes which will be explained below.

Field Target
In 2010/2011 Season MAAC will organize 6 X FT OPENS and a 2 DAY FT Nationals.
As you all know MAAC is committed to carry on participating in the WFTF World Championships hence we need to select the best shooters to send abroad also in 2011.

The selection for 2011 WFTF WC will be based as follows.
The best 4 performances out of the 6 FT opens will be considered as part of the final score for the selections. The 2 Day FT Nationals will be compulsory for the shooters who want to attempt qualification for the WFTF 2011 WC. The ranking will be based upon the scores of 4 FT Open and 2 FT Nationals. This means that each shooter will be judged on a total of 300 shots spread out during the season. (50 shots will be each match in 2010/2011 season.)

Still there will be categories and prizes for local championships but still there will be MQS for WFTF Qualification for the 12ftlbs PCP and Spring Categories but this will be explained later.

Field Target Competitions Dedicated for Beginners.
The MAAC air rifle sub committee urged the request to introduce SPECIAL events for those members who are either beginners or not regular practicing members during the 2010/2011 season. In these events club members who participated in International events will not be allowed to participate as competitors but agreed to marshal and coach the other members. The aim of this initiative is to generate more interest in those members and input the sense of competition.
