What dissiplines/classes of shooting is offered ?

The Australian Points Series (APS) offers shooting classes in the disciplines of F-Open and F/TR. Participants in these classes can compete in the APS events, which include three regional events and a final invitational based on points accumulated throughout the season​​.

The APS is adapted from the US FClass Points Series and provided within the same parameters and rules as other participating nations (currently USA, Canada, Italy, and South Africa, with Australia and NZ to follow). APS Rules currently are additionally aligned to international competition standards, following the ICFRA Rules and guidelines.

The feasibility of other classes (F Std and Sporting) is currently being considered. However, it is unlikely to be expanded in 2024.

Hey Albert
Not long to go now
Just wanted to confirm amount of ammo required for the first APS ?
Thanks

Belmont isn't far off now.
I have the same question as Tim, how much ammo would you need to take.
Is there a course of fire, eg. 10 or 15 shot matches.
Regards,
Dave
