Gallery Rifle National Championships – Volunteers Required

With this year’s Gallery Rifle National Championships approaching over the weekend of the 23-24 August volunteers are required to help run the event. If you wish to volunteer please complete this form, ideally before the end of July if at all possible. This helps with allocation of ROs per range, accommodation and food which all need to be factored in advance.

If you want to help on the ranges it is not essential that you are qualified as there are many tasks that need to be carried out on range. The meeting runs Sat and Sun, and some ranges are open on Friday to allow volunteers to shoot their events. When arriving early to keep the weekend free of shooting, volunteers will also get breakfast, lunch and accommodation free of charge. More information at each section on the form.

Teams of five shooters compete head to head in all four events with the lowest score in each event being dropped. The winners are simply the highest bullet score across all four events.

Home Countries LBR/LBP Competition.

Up to now there has been no National competition for LBR or LBP shooters. It appears that the number of LBR and LBP shooters is on the increase as can be seen by the increased numbers of competitors annually at the Nationals at Bisley.

The following is an initial set of proporals which could, with possibly further additions or amendments, be suitable for both LBR and LBP shooters.

It is envisaged that there will be two competitions, individuals may enter both competitions. The organising of the score cards and preparing results could be alternated between countries on a rota basis.

Title

National LBR Competition
National LBP Competition.

Team Format

To comprise of a Captain, either shooting or non shooting. One of the shooters may be X Class, One will be A Class with the third being B Class or unclassified. If the relevant country has no X or A Class members then the team will comprise of three B Class members, if no B Class then unclassified can be nominated.

The Shoot

To run concurrent with the T&P1 shoot held at the Nationals at Bisley. If possible the scores could be taken from T&P1 fired on the Fri/Sat to allow for publishing of scores on Sat night although this is not critical as it can be done after the competition has finished with results published on GR website as is the way the remainder of the results are issued.
Format.

Score cards to be issued by the organiser to Team Captains, the nominated names will be inserted by the organiser after discussion with the relevant team Captain’s. Team Captain will transpose scores from individual shooters onto score card, sign and hand back to organiser who will check and tally totals and provide list of winners, both team and possibly individuals.
