Starting March 1, 2011 and ending September 25, 2011 the range is open for the 2nd Annual GBO Miniature Cannon Club Postal Shoot.

This shoot is to carry on the tradition of miniature cannon shooting as practiced by the South African Miniature Cannon Club, Durban, South Africa.  All shooting shall be in keeping with the spirit of that tradition- "shoot in the spirit of the original".

This shoot is for smooth bore model Cannons and will have two divisions. 

• Division 1 is for miniature cannons under .800 shooting round ball projectiles using black powder.
• Division 2 for cannons of .800 or larger smooth bore and no greater than half scale.
  

The course of fire is 6 shots on a B17 target. This target is also known as the 25/50 Meter, Slow Fire, UIT Precision Target, and NRA Muzzle Loading.  Two targets are fired and scored. The best 5 shots on each target are scored.  Shots touching the line scores the higher value.

• Division 1 guns shoot at 25 yards.
• Division 2 guns shoot at 100 yards

• Division 1 Guns cannot have or use sights.
• Division 2 Guns may have sights but they must  be in keeping with the spirit of the  tradition- "shoot in the spirit of the original".

Muzzle disks and target spots are allowed.

Breech rope/recoil restraints are allowed, but guns can not be tied down or anchored.  The exception is swivel guns.  Guns like those used in fortifications mounted on sliding carriages are not considered tied down or anchored.  Shooting platforms are allowed.
