The Falls Township Rifle and Pistol Association in Fairless Hills PA (Philadelphia suburb) will be holding our final Field Target match of the year on Sunday 17 November 2024.
The 10 lane 60 shot rifle course is laid out on the lakeside trails of the club’s 3D archery course. Within the confines of the 30 targets we have also laid out a 20 target / 40 shot course for those who wish to shoot pistol only or be adventurous and compete in both disciplines. We have laid out a fun and enjoyable course with the hopes to challenge experienced shooters as well as provide less difficult targets for those just getting into the discipline. We certainly look forward to seeing all our regulars, and urge them to bring a friend and invite anyone interested in Field Target to join us for some fun. Our Match Program is pasted below.
