About Monarto Metallic Silhouette Rifle Club
Monarto Metallic Silhouette Rifle Club (MMSRC) started in 1980 for shooters who wanted to use their field rifle skills on a target range, and it still favours hunting equipment and hunting-style positions. The club is an SSAA SA club at the Monarto Shooting Complex, 52 Rifle Road, Monarto South, about 60 km from Adelaide along the South Eastern Freeway and 15 km west of Murray Bridge.
Disciplines
Rifle metallic silhouette targets (chickens, pigs, turkeys and rams) are shot standing unsupported: 20–45 yards for air rifle, 40–100 m for rimfire and 200–500 m for centrefire. The club also shoots Field Rifle, scoped 3-Position and Fly Shoot, the Australian long-range precision match where hitting the blowfly outline at the centre of the target earns a Fly Patch. Shotgun and handgun events are informal.
Shoot days
One weekend a month: usually a Saturday rifle, handgun and shotgun day, then a Sunday feature match (Fly, Field Rifle or rimfire/centrefire silhouette) with handgun afterwards and a BBQ. There are also one or two Wednesday rifle, handgun and shotgun days a month. State titles for RMS and Fly are held at the club. Events other than championships are cancelled if Adelaide's forecast is 38 degrees.
