Historic Service Rifle Match at the National Shooting Centre, Bisley

[John MH]

The NRA are staging another Historic SR Match on the afternoon of Saturday 2 April. The following day, Sunday 3 April, sees the last of the Civilian SR Winter League, and shooters may wish to combine both for an enjoyable weekend of challenging shooting!

The Historic SR Match is open to British SR in SR(a), in addition there is an All-Comers class for foreign SR. Prizes will be awarded for each class, according to the number of entries received.

The Course of Fire (CoF) is based on military practices shooting from standing, kneeling, sitting and prone. There are no Run Downs!

Targets will be a Fig 12 at 100 yds, then an NRA DP2 at 200 and 300 yds. The DP2 is a black & white target similar to a Fig 11, but will offer better target acquisition and sight picture than a standard brown/black Fig 11.The HBSA and LERA have been involved in the development of the event.

Competitors will meet at the 300x car park on Century (Butt 19) at 1300 hrs for a mandatory Range Briefing, with the match shot in the afternoon only, followed by prizegiving on range at approx 1730 hrs.

Entry Forms should be available during the first week of March 16.
