Cottesloe Heath Challenge 2024
Friday 16th - Sunday 18th August
Competition Programme: This event is a full day match with 8/9 stages of which some can only be shot with solid slug, staged in the iconic Cottesloe Heath at the National Shooting Centre - Bisley
Entry includes the chance to take part in a minimum of 8 stages over a full day of shooting, and is suitable for both seasoned and novice shooters. Some stages require the use of slug ammunition to be used, so depending on your FAC this may limit how many stages you can take part in. Various target will be used including resetting steel (solid slug only) and a multi-bird flurry stage.
