The Great Britain Gallery Rifle Team for 2020
Moving into the 2020 season the GB Gallery rifle team has a new captain and Vice captain. Taff Wilcox steps down after two seasons which included a tour to compete in the IGRF Worlds in South Africa in late 2019.
Gary Bowden takes over as captain with Phil Wood as Vice. The 2020 season is considered a ‘standard’ season according to the new captain. Tours to Ireland in the Summer and Germany in early Winter will take place. The traditional Phoenix meeting home match will also take place at the end of May where we hope to host as many of the IGRF nations as possible.
The 2021 season sees the return of the biennial IGRF World Championships to the UK. Objectives for team GB for 2020 is to solidify and enhance all aspects of team interaction and performance to represent the nation in these world championships.

2020 Standards
Standards for various events shot at the Phoenix meeting have been reviewed for the 2020 season. There are various changes across the board. These will be published in the 2020 GR&P/Phoenix booklet and are also referenced at the link below.
2020 Classifications
Classifications for the 2020 season have changed. In summary:
- T&P1 GRSB and GRCF changed from 3 classes to 5 classes
- Multi-Target GRSB and GRCF changed from 3 classes to 5 classes
- Advancing Target GRSB and GRCF changed from 3 classes to 5 classes
- Bianchi GRSB and GRCF changed from 5 classes to 3 classes
- 1020 GRSB and GRCF introducing 3 classes
See the details of the classification changes
Additionally competitor’s classifications are now decided on scores achieved over the last 3 seasons – not their complete historic record. The three year window will continuously roll forward on a competition by competition basis. So for the start for the 2020 season only registered scores from 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons are being considered
The chances are your classifications will have changed. Check them here. Or download a complete spreadsheet of everybody’s classifications here. Your classifications may look wrong – especially in the T&P, M-T and Advancing target events. Barring the odd glitch that may have crept in they chances are they are not. Changing to 5 divisions and bounding to the last three years of scores data will have changed things a fair bit. You can check the score that achieved the classification you are in at the historic scores database.
GB Gallery Rifle Captain for 2020
Only one nomination was received. Paperwork and submission has been passed over to NRA Council for acknowledgement.
Gary Bowden will be the Gallery Rifle Captain for 2020
The GB Gallery Rifle team compete on the world circuit and take part in at least three International shoots a year. Team captains are appointed on an annual basis.
Nominations are now being sought for the Great Britain Gallery Rifle Captain for the 2020 season. The team will compete in IGRF international competitions at Bisley (May), Ireland (July) and Germany (November) in 2020.
Nominations should be sent to Georgina Thatcher who will forward to the NRA Secretary General and has to be received by Friday 20 December 2019. Nomination forms are here:
Nominees must be full Members of the NRA for a minimum continuous period of 3 years (12 months in the case of under 25 members) before they become eligible for nomination and must remain so during the entire period of appointment.
Nominations must be supported by signatures of three (3) NRA Members.
Nominations will be reviewed by NRA Council and a list of approved candidates determined from the nominations at their next meeting in January or February 2020. The NRA will then advise the Discipline Representative of the Council’s approved candidate(s).
Bianchi Classification modifications for 2020
The decline of the Bianchi over the last few years means running 5 classes is very hard to justify. The GRSB/GRCF will move to 3 classes in 2020 with the breakpoints as below.
Bianchi
| Class | GRSB | GRCF | LBP | LBR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X | 1836-1920 |
1890-1920 |
1895-1920 | 1825-1920 |
| A | 1701-1835 |
1801 – 1889 |
1750-1894 | 1750-1824 |
| B | up to 1700 |
up to 1800 |
up to 1749 | up to 1749 |
Classes 2020
Its been proposed the classification structure be looked at for a few events next season. The popular events of T&P1, Multi-Target and Advancing Target are currently offered in 3 classes for rifles. Its proposed they may benefit from 5. Bianchi is not very popular at the moment so its proposed knocking that back to 3. Also the 1020 event is gaining traction so offering this in 2 or 3 classes is also a possibility.
Additionally we have always classed people on their complete historic record. This isn’t really sensible any more so from 2020 the classification boundaries will be bounded to the last 5 or 3 years worth of scores. Which is better?
If anyone is interested some easy to visualize stats spreadsheets are here for people to look at –
Final 2019 GR&P Ranking Tables
The Final Ranking tables of 2019 are now published.
18 meetings eligible for a ranking entry were shot throughout the 2019 season. The final event of the season was the FDPC Rimfire Festival – shot on the 23rd November. The newest event was the inaugural Chelmsford Open Weekend shot the weekend before – 16/17 November.
For the last few seasons the main events ranked have been the popular T&P1, Multi-Target and 1500 competitions.
Ranking tables for next season are set to be enhanced and expanded to cover more or less all the events shot at all meetings.
Post AAW Ranking Tables
The post Autumn Action Weekend (AAW) Ranking tables are now published.
For some the season is over. Traditionally the AAW has been the last ranking competition of the season. However two more events are now offered in November. For others the chance is there to get your averages up even higher.
- The Chelmsford Winter Action Weekend 16-17 November
- The FDPC Rimfire Festival 23 November 2019
Final ranking tables will be published after the FDPC RFF event at the end of November.
Ranking tables for next season are set to be enhanced and expanded.

The 2019 Derby Open Meeting
Results for Derby 2019 now available
The Derby Open took place from mid day Friday 21st June to Sunday 23rd June.
2019 was not a record breaker but there were 106 competitors and over 950 events shot. It was fantastic to see 14 new faces, some completely new to the competition circuit.
With it being our 50th anniversary we increased the budget for the prize table and I think you will agree that it was excellent with numerous high value prizes to be chosen. This was also due to the extraordinary support from the ten sponsors who supported the meeting. It is worth mentioning them by name (below) as they deserve our thanks and having confidence in our sport. Please support them in return.
The Home Countries International Match was won by Wales, congratulations. England won the Pistol and Revolver matches. Winner team members were presented with Brownells medals. The scores are included at the end of the results file.
The Man v Man LBP event was won by Ryan Wiggins with Gary Bowden second. The Man v Man rifle event was won by Jake Mossom with Chris West as runner up.
The Mini McQueen was won by Jake Mossom.
THANKS
The Derby Open is a team effort and would not be possible without the 30 or so Range Crew who worked unbelievably hard over the weekend. Special thanks go to Team Smoothy, Trim, Neil and other visitors for their help and not forgetting the guys in Stats who produced the final results in record time, and most importantly Pam & Mick on the BBQ.
Photos of the weekend will be on drpc1999.com very soon
We hope you all enjoyed everything, and the weather was OK too.
Jim
