Men's 60 match air, women's and juniors 40, all at 10 metres, will be shot in the indoor range.
One detail will be completed on Friday night at 8pm and will continue through the weekend.
Three master graders and eight A graders will compete including Olympian Phillip Adams (Forbes), Bob Dowling (Dubbo) and top Orange shooter Dean Brus.
Club founder John Baird and wife June, making a comeback, from the ACT, will be here along with Paralympian Kieth Bremner of Bathurst and many B, C and D graders.
The range is 10km out on Icely Road.
Watch for signs and the public is welcome as spectators as this is a family sport.
