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.
