The 2019 Derby Open Meeting

Results for Derby 2019 now available

Derby OpenThe 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.

Proposed GR&P Classifications for 2020

The Classification methodology for GR&P is defined on the  Classifications page. They have always been based on highest achieved score for a particular gun type for a specific event.

One problem we have is there is no process for demotion. Once you hit a bullet score that class is where you stay. Apart from class break point reviews which do happen from time to time cementing people into a particular class has one or two flaws which have been recognised over the years.

It has been proposed that the classification system be changed from an all time historic record into a five year seasonal rolling window. So whichever class you are in for a particular gun type and event will be directly related to your recent (5 year) performance in that event and gun type.

There is no real reason not to introduce this method. However comments and opinions from the community are sought. If this rolling 5 year window had have been implemented for the 2019 season there is a spreadsheet linked here to illustrate how it would have impacted all shooters with a classification on the GRID.

Phoenix 2019 Bianchi

Bianchi at the Phoenix meeting will consist of the ‘standard’ four elements – Barricades, Mover, Plates and Practical however the Practical match will be modified to cater for the Butt Zero range and space availability we have available to us. The past two or three seasons had seen the USM run instead of a practical match. The USM is now to be retired and the modified practical match run in its place

The modified practical match will replace the USM and the course of fire will be as follows:

Stage 1 10 metres

  • 3 seconds 1 shot on each target
  • 4 seconds 2 shots on each target
  • 8 seconds 3 shots on each target
    • for the 8 second stage: – LBP, LBR: weak hand freestyle. GRCF, GRSB: weak shoulder

Stage 2 15 metres

  • 4 seconds 1 shot on each target
  • 5 seconds 2 shots on each target
  • 6 seconds 3 shots on each target

Stage 3 20 meters (formerly 25 metres)

  • 4 seconds 1 shot on each target
  • 5 seconds 2 shots on each target
  • 6 seconds 3 shots on each target

Stage 4 25 meters (formerly 50 metres)

Rankings

4200 cards later the final ranking table is now available. Apologies for the delay but a mix up with some grid number threw the first set of rankings. Some of the closest end of year results on record. Norman Veitch and Keith cox become the first to shoot 4 possible scores at T&P1 SB at graded matches with Norman taking top place by 4 x’s !  T&P1 was as close with only 6 x’s separating the top 5, again Norman taking it by a single x. Norman has decided to take up LBP  and surprise surprise took top place in both T&P and MT, again a first for T&P1 LBP of 1200 ex 1200.

Hopefully there are no errors in the tables, if there are PM me.

All starts again in March.

Dave MeabyIt is with heavy hearts that we have to announce the death of Dave Meaby. Dave, former club secretary for Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Marksmen and the Welsh Gallery Rifle Club, as well as organiser for the Army (ATSC) Gallery Rifle Open competitions, sadly passed away on Saturday August 18th 2018.

Dave was a regular at many of our Gallery Rifle Open meetings at Bisley and often helped out as a range officer. In the last few years he was the face of Welsh Gallery Rifle shooting organising the Welsh GR Open in Haverfordwest – acting as Match Director, squadding administrator and stats processor.
