The Spring Action Weekend
The online entry for the Spring Action Weekend is now available via the link on the front page of the NRA website
Don’t forget to bring your competency certification card as you will be required to produce this before you can shoot. In addition, if you are shooting Shotgun, LBR or LBP you will need to produce your Firearm Certificate.
Range Officers
Please let me know as soon as you can if you are able to help out at the Spring Action Weekend. 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 so much easier.
Rules changes
There are some new rules and event conditions for 2013 so please check the on line copy of the handbook. (Please note: the one at the NRA website currently points to the 2012 edition)
The rules on foot fault lines have been clarified, especially for the Bianchi barricade match.
Target Shotgun
Some changes including revised gun types. There is also a TSG Rulebook as part of the Bisley Bible now.
Swingball Steels Action
A new two person shoot off for .22 rifles and pistols. You’ll find it on Stickledown on the Speed Steels range. Go to Galleryrifle.com for a description.
Muzzle breaks and HME ammunition
Please make sure you tell us in advance if you want to use a rifle with a muzzle break or will be using HME ammunition.
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. Slip on side shields will be available at reception with profits going to a charity for visually impaired shooters.
Hope to see you there.
Chris Farr
Meeting Director
