NATSHOOT ELRS SERIES
NATSHOOT is very excited to announce the national NATSHOOT ELRS SERIES for the 2022-23 sport shooting calendar. With the collaboration of ELRSASA (Extended Long Range Ass of SA) to NATSHOOT members can now benefit and enjoy Long Range Sport Shooting discipline activities and the upkeep of their dedicated status.
In terms of the NATSHOOT co-operative agreement with ELRSASA, the Extended Long Range Shooting Ass of SA will host and administer the official NATSHOOT ELRS SERIES combined with the ELRS National League open to NATSHOOT members.
The series of 5 Provincial Open Invitation events annually will embody the NATSHOOT ELRS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Who is going to be the first NATSHOOT ELRS NATIONAL CHAMPION?
ELRS (Extended Long Range Shooting) interest is growing amongst our members, and- seems 1 km is the new 100m! ELRS may look very intimidating but, ELRSASA has various (ACE) classes and divisions for active and practical participation from the very popular 6.5 mm / .264, the ever popular 300’s, 338’s to large 50BMG based calibers. ELRS, is the final frontier in shooting and development for conventional ballistics (gunpowder and bullets).
There are practically two groupings of athletes, those who specialise in distances up to 1 mile, and the extended distance athletes who are orientated towards distances past 2 000 meters. ELRS is fundamentally unique to any other sport-shooting disciplines, since PRECISION (internal ballistics) does not directly translate to overcome ACCURACY (external ballistics) to expected scores.
The current winning scores is very much athlete effort and competency (skill, experience, tenacity) and team proficiency in terms of spotting and wind coaching. There are lots of room for new athletes and innovations.
Extended Long Range Shooting - makes for a great team-, friends, and family sport shooting discipline. It is surprisingly cost-effective and affordable, due to the unique events.
ELRS: Extended Long-Range Shooting (ELRS) is the ballistic science (the shooting discipline) of shooting into the extended range (past supersonic transition) to a predicted result (of 1 MOA / for competitive purposes, within 5 shots impact / repeatability).
The basics are quite simple: ELRSA has 2 divisions, the MILE (1 & 2 Mile) International Division and the KILOMETRE (1,2 & 3 Km) Domestic Division.
Each has 2 disciplines: CASCADE (as the same suggests targets from large to small at the same distance) and
SLALOM (targets are at variable distances). All targets are distance- and size aspect ratio-fixed (the steel gong targets are ALWAYS fixed MOA [Minute Of Angle = 19.1mm @100meters] 1 or 2 MOA targets at any particular distance).
An ELRS match is always 9 minutes, 3 targets, and 15 shots (5 per target). The ACE (Adaptive Caliber Energy) dynamic system creates 4 classes. Read all about it on the NATSHOOT website.
