The Treasurer's Sporran

For any weapon, but breech loading weapons will be squadded and scored separately to muzzle loaders.

The purpose is to cut the string holding the hardboard padlock, not to shoot at the padlock itself.

A yellow aiming mark is provided, across which the string will pass.

The shooter must raise their hand to indicate that they have released their padlock, so that the time may be recorded.

The fastest to cut the string and drop the padlock will win.

The purpose is to break the Polo mint which is fixed to the centre of the target.

The shooter must raise their hand to indicate that they have suceeded, so that the time may be recorded.
