U.S.A. challenge
During 2007, a
challenge was issued by the members of the
Roslyn Rifle &
Revolver Club of New
York. Following their annual Small-bore Mini Palma
Tournament, their scores would be rated against St. Nicholas Rifle &
Pistol Club, shooting the same course of fire at our Foxbury Range,
in an International Friendly Postal Match.
2007
The scaled down Palma course of fire
consists of a round of 10 shots at 800yds, 10 shots at 900yds and 10 shots at
1000yds shot using targets scaled down to 100yds, all using iron-sights,
shot three times.
