Classified Matches

The Classified Matches And their breakpoints We classify into divisions the most popular GR&P events. Various opinions exist about how many divisions there should be and where these divisional breakpoints should lie. However we currently have what is defined. The current philosophy is to build a hierarchical pyramid of shooters with top X class shooters […]

The Galleyrifle Handbook 2018 It is time over the next month to look at the gallery rifle book, a number of people, especially new shooters think the last version was to tasking on the grey cells, trying to decide which end of the book to look at, and some differences in general rules that contradict. I […]

Classification Changes for T&P1 GRCF Its tight at the top and no more so than the Timed and Precision one event in GRCF. For all the classified events we have traditionally always broken divisional classes on bullet score. Up until now this has generally been an easy and acceptable way to achieve what we require. […]

They are used in the following events within a course of fire: T&P2 1500 T&P3 1020 Phoenix A (although not really relevant as the start condition is always empty chamber) Holsters can be used in other events as convenient holding device – […]

Timed and Precision 2 Timings What is it with the Timed and Precision 2 event? Every year I get lobbied to change the timings because “they are wrong”. Here is what we currently have:   10m – Pistol, Revolver and GRCF – 8secs: GRSB – 5 secs 25m – Pistol, Revolver and GRSB – 105 secs ( 1:45): […]

T&P2 Pistol Matches – Timing Changes A suggestion that stage one of the T&P2 match for pistols – which is 6 shots in 5 seconds – from the holster, is a little unrealistic to be able to get well aimed shots off. Its at 10m but , even so, to acquire the target, (release the safety […]
