AREA 52 is designed, built and equipped to transfer skills in a very intensive course in a very short time. Our electronic targets at 300, 600, 800 and 1000 meters ( 330, 660, 880 and 1100 yards) show a hit immediately on a monitor next to the shooter. There is no wasted time going out to the target or waiting for the scorer to show the impact of the bullet.
Shooting on our range is done under real conditions: real rifle, live ammunition, and inclement weather influences. You have to be prepared for all weather conditions (appropriate clothing, equipment etc.) and to bring with you ear and eye protection required at all time on the range.
When you fill out the application form (attached, please read carefully) you will be asked for proof of identity and evidence that you can lawfully attend this course.

SNIPER-CUP Challenge 368: Not scheduled yet. This competition is for any serious shooter with an appropriate Semi-Auto-Rifle or Bolt-Action-Rifle up to caliber 8 mm, with scope or open sight. This competition is divided in two classes: Semi-Auto-Rifle and/or Bolt-Action-Rifle. The distances: 300, 600 and 800 meters.
Course of Shooting: It is your choice whether you shoot standing, sitting at a table or in prone position. Bipod, Sling or Front- and Rear-Rest are allowed, but neither rest can be attached to the bench, and must be movable in all directions. You will be placed on the 600 meters line. From this position you will have to shoot 2 rounds each, as fast as possible, on the assigned 300 meters target, 600 meters target and 800 meters target without moving from your position at the 600 meters line. (Score AND fastest time count!). You will repeat this course of shooting for a total of 5 competition rounds (30 rounds of ammo are needed for this competition). There will be no sighting in of rifles on the day of this competition. For shooters with Bolt-Action-Rifles: For a fair course of this competition only single-loading of the rifle is allowed, no shooting out of a magazine.
Handling of results: Our electronic scoring system will automatically process the results of each individual competitior, showing target no., shot-number, shot value and End Total Score as well as C-C. TIME: Your 6 shots per round will be timed and the factor of score and time will be the result. Then your five results will be added up and this result will be divided by 5 for your average outcome. All three targets have to be shot. If there is a missed hit ( no hit on the assigned targets ) there will be a penalty time of 15 seconds added to your timed result for each missed hit. To calculate the factor ( score and time ) in the case of no hit at all, a score of 1 will be entered on your score-card.
This competition is restricted to 50 participants on first come first serve basis and you can enter this competition till noon on competition day. Entry-Fee: $ 35.00 per person/class or $ 50.00 is shooting in both classes.
