The Lima Sabers are a co-operating club and their members can shoot at FWRR for our own member rates. FWRR members can shoot at Lima for their member rates.
We have minimal schedule conflicts, so I have no issue with publicizing their schedule. Feel free to go over and shoot with these guys – they’re a great bunch of people and they usually have a lunch after a match – a really great lunch!

The match will take place on May 7th at the Lima Sabres Shooting Association. Awards will be given out to the top three shooters in Any/Match Rifle and Service Rifle classes.
The Reduced Course Championship at Lima SABRES will take place as an NRA 80 COF, 2 sighting shots will be allowed per position. As such, the COF will be 20 shots Standing, 20 shots Rapid Sitting, 20 shots Rapid Prone, and 20 shots Slow Prone.
