The CHASA annual Inter Association Shooting Competition has become one of the most important coveted events on the shooting calendar amongst member associations.
Next year 10th of March 2012 is the 10th Annual Shooting Competition and CHASA is aiming to really make this a very special event as this is the biggest inter association shoot in South Africa. The shoot is conducted according to the rules of the South African Hunting Rifle Association, who is an affiliated member of CHASA.
In 2011 there were 42 teams participating and based on the enquiries we have received to date, we anticipate there will be 50 teams next year! A Team consist of four persons and the entry fee is R1200 per team. The match is based on practical hunting scenarios and shooting positions at ranges from 65m out to 350m. It is a tough set of 6 individual events with no artificial aids like bipods or shooting sticks allowed except what is supplied on the range. Each event requires 5 rounds per team member, and it is scored as a team, not by individual member. The shoot shall take place on a farm near Bloemfontein. CHASA will be inviting teams from Europe,Zimbabwe and Namibia to come and shoot with us. This year we had the Czechoslovakians as our guests. Other independent hunting associations in South Africa will also be invited to participate.
CHASA has already canvassed some exciting prizes. All teams will qualify for the prizes, but only CHASA affiliated member associations shall qualify for the CHASA Senior and Junior Trophies and medals. However, PMP will present a floating trophy for the top team overall, and there will be a floating trophy for the best junior (up to and including 18 years of age) team overall as well.
Firearms:
Any centre fire rifle and telescopic sight or iron sight combination may be used.
All participating shooters will receive a CHASA participating Certificate.
