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.
