Gallery Rifle and Pistol National Championship Meeting

National Shooting Centre, Bisley 25th and 26th August 2012

The entry form for the Gallery Rifle and Pistol National Championships is now available for download via the link on the front page of the NRA website. The online is also available.

As well as the British Championship titles to be shot for, there is also the premier team match, the Gallery Rifle Home Countries National Match, which will be shot shoulder to shoulder on Melville late on Saturday afternoon.

Don’t forget to bring your Firearm Certificate and your competency certification card as you will be required to produce one or both before you can shoot.

Range Officers

Please let me know as soon as you can if you are able to help out at the Nationals.

As well as NRA qualified RCOs we also are very happy to have any other helpers, regardless of experience, to lend a hand. If you have not worked on a range crew before you will learn a lot and contribute to the success of the meeting

There will be a day or two prior to the meeting for ROs to shoot their events. Food and accommodation will be provided as well in line with the number of days you can give us.

Here is the link to the on line RO registration form. Please use it as it makes the process of collecting all the data much easier.

Eye protection

Eye protection is mandatory. Shatterproof glasses must be worn which provide adequate protection at the sides as well as the front. If they do not, you must use additional side protection in the form of slip on shields or similar.

New for this year

First of all, a new event which has been asked for by competitors – 200m Gallery Rifle. The course of fire is the same as the 200m centre fire rifle events – numbers 6380-6384 – that are in the meetings booklet right at the back. See the GR&P Booklet for the competition information.

The following events have already appeared this year in other meetings but are new to the Nationals.

  • Multi-Target 3 – a more challenging version of Multi-Target with a practice at 50m.
  • The Surrenden – an event for Gallery Rifle Centre Fire which rewards accuracy but penalises you for trying too hard – the longer you take, the more points are deducted.
  • Issued Rifle McQueen on Short Siberia – an issued rifle version using a Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout kindle provided by Ewen Campbell of Bench Grade Brands. A level playing field but no real excuses for scores under 50! The ammunition to be used for this event will be available for purchase on the firing point.

Jane’s Wicked Wheel

You’ll see this on the entry form for the first time. It’s a pool shoot on Stickledown with profits going to a charity for visually impaired shooters – B.U.G.S.  It’s quite a small organisation so your input can make a large difference. Your entry entitles you to two runs at the WW and you can buy as many more as you like at reception or on the range. (You must sign the declaration on the entry form and produce you FAC and competency certificate as usual.)

Hope to see you there.
