SHOOTERS PREPARE FOR NATIONAL CARNIVAL IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA
More than 400 shotgunning enthusiasts will converge on Kingston SE next weekend for
the Field and Game Australia National Carnival.
Over two days the shooters will take aim at more than 60,000 clay targets across three
Australian Simulated Field (ASF) ranges, addressing 150 simulated field targets each in
both open and handicapped events.
The FGA National Carnival attracts novice shooters and Australia’s best simulated field
target shooters with ladies, men, juniors and veterans vying for more than $45,000 worth
of prizes.
October 30 and 31 will be an action-packed two days at Kingston Field and Game range
with shooters competing in both open and handicapped events.
Field and Game Australia (FGA) Chief Executive Officer Rod Drew said the weekend is
a fantastic opportunity for Kingston SE to host a showcase of the nation’s best clay
target shooters.
“It’s also a top weekend for visitors to see the variety of targets our shooters need to be
able to hit,” said Mr Drew.
The action will kick off at 8 am each morning.
It is the first time the nation’s biggest clay target shooting event has been held in South
Australia.
“The Kingston FGA branch, Kingston SE Council and local community have undertaken
an incredible amount of work to prepare their range and facilities for this prestigious
event,” said Mr Drew.
“Australian Simulated Field target shooting is the fastest growing shotgunning discipline.
“The event also provides a boost to the local economy with up to 1,000 visitors expected
to be in Kingston for the weekend.”
Major sponsors will have trade displays at the event on both days, showcasing the latest
in shooting sports equipment.
