I would imagine that we would be shooting at their club, as a backstop net would not be the best for stopping their projectiles

Have any others been invited to a similar shoot? If so, how did you get on?
Many years ago, we competed against a local rifle club indoors, only the competition format was that we took them on at Rifle shooting, and they then took us on at Archery. It was circa 30 years ago, and I can't recall how we worked out who won, but for me it was a great experience to try rifle shooting which I hadn't ever done. I would add the archrs won, but we did have a couple of good rifle shooters, my dad drawing on his experience as a small arms trainer when he was in the army in the 50's!

But to mix it up like this may be better than a straight shoot.
