Welcome all to the second-ever OFFHAND OFFICE!

Delaware County Field & Stream Association DCFSA

713 Chester Creek Road, Brookhaven PA 19015

This Offhand Office is open Sunday 7 Dec. from 9AM to noon-ish. 

You can arrive anytime at the Air Rifle Range at the top of the hill.

(Drive past the clubhouse, drive uphill past the shotgun fields on your right, continue to the end of the lane.)

For Field Target shooters, and all airgunners who want to bolster their skills in the winter months, the ‘under roof’ Offhand Office awaits!!!

Use your Field Target gun, or bring a specific 10-meter rifle or pistol, or bring whatever airgun you want (.22-caliber, 25 foot-pound limit.) 

Modern and/or ‘old school’ airguns are welcome…let’s see ‘em shoot! 

Any sights/scopes/red dots are allowed…there will be classifications based on equipment. 

Come dressed for the weather, there will be a propane ’torpedo’ heater to reduce the chill from the open windows.

Three events at the Offhand Office:

__ __ __

10-METER TARGET OFFHAND COMPETITIONS!...

On the right-side of Air Rifle Range are 10-meter offhand target competitions…

Each competition has 20 scored shots - using rifle, or pistol, or both!

The targets are standard 10-meter ISSF airgun rifle, and airgun pistol targets.

Twenty scored shots, unlimited sighters.

(.22-caliber, 25 foot-pound limit.) 

__ __ __

AND…A ‘RISK/REWARD’ OFFHAND FIELD TARGET CHALLENGE!...

In the middle of the Air Rifle Range is the ‘Risk/Reward’ offhand Field Target challenge…

There are five Field Target animals, located at 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 yards.

Each target has an ‘inch-and-a-half’ kill-zone.

Ten minutes for 20 offhand shots at any target at any distance.

[1-point per 15-yard knockdown], [2-points per 20-yard knockdown], [3-points per 25-yard knockdown], [4-points per 30-yard knockdown], [5-points per 35-yard knockdown].

Targets can be shot in any order.

(.22-caliber, 20 foot-pound limit.) Piston rifle class & PCP rifle class.

__ __ __

ALSO…A ‘RISK/REWARD’ OFFHAND SILHOUETTE CHALLENGE!...

On the left-side of the Air Rifle Range is the ‘Risk/Reward’ offhand Silhouette challenge…

There are two Silhouette stands: one at 20 yards and one at 30 yards.

Each stand has twenty ‘one-tenth scale’ targets - five Chickens, five Turkeys, five Pigs, and five Rams.

10 offhand shots at the 20 yard stand + 10 offhand shots at the 30 yard stand = 20 shots.

Five minutes for 10 shots at the 20-yard stand, five minutes for 10 shots at the 30-yard stand. 

[4-points per Chicken], [3-points per Turkey], [2-points per Pig], [1-point per Ram].

Multiple shots may be taken at a single target. Targets on each stand can be shot in any order. No shooting jackets, no shooting gloves.

(.22-caliber, 20 foot-pound limit.) Piston rifle class & PCP rifle class.

So far, the highest score is 45 (out of 70 possible)...can you top that???

__ __ __

For all three events, if you don’t like your first results, you can try it again, and again!

Fee for all three events…$10.00…what a deal!

The remaining Offhand Office winter schedule is: 

Sunday 4 Jan 2026

Sunday 1 Feb 2026

Sunday 1 Mar 2026

The opening 2026 DCFSA Field Target match is Easter Sunday 5 April 2026. (Sorry for the Easter calendar conflict - this avoids regional Field Target calendar overlaps.) 

If desired, Offhand Office will immediately follow the 2026 Field Target matches.

Hope to see YOU at the December 7th Offhand Office!

A frosty morning at the Delaware County Field & Stream Association was obliterated by the red-hot Offhand Office shooting! (The propane heater also helped.) 

Great to see a mix of youngsters (Paul Pelligrini’s sons), oldsters, club members and guests gather to punish the targets. Some shot all disciplines, while others focused on one skill. First-rate results by all!

New records were set in the ‘Risk/Reward’ events. Deluxion reminded us that practice makes perfect. Laura set a new daily record in the number of vanquished pistol targets. Brian gave us a lesson on PISTOL shooting in both the Field Target and Silhouette events…go Brian! Richard showed us that peep sights can flatten Field Targets. And Marco, who was barely tall enough to reach the bench-rested rifle when seated, gave the targets a beating!

The next Offhand Office is Sunday January 4…in 2026…already?!?

Enjoy the Holidays!

Here’s the scores…

Mark,

Very nice fun match for the winter time.  it is lots of fun and keeps us shooting and gives us something to do in the cold weather.  The heaters worked well and helped to make it fun.

Thank you so much for running it.

Rick B.
