Sounds fun. Is there usually a big turn-out for these?

Probably 20 or so for this match.

Eye and ear protection always mandatory for all Fairfax Rod and Gun Club events.

I have an Enfield in .308. Pretty certain that would be DQ'ed?

Are spectators allowed? If so, is there a charge? Should I stop asking silly questions and check the website myself?
