The Gallery Rifle and Pistol National Championships will run over the weekend of 5-6 September 2021. Enter here: Volunteer as a Range Officer here:
Following a careful review, a new set of National Champion and Aggregate awards is being introduced at this year’s Gallery Rifle National Championships meeting. Key changes are as follows:
A National Champion should be able to demonstrate mastery of wide variety of skills with a particular gun type. Therefore:
No individual event will attract National Championship status.
Instead, National Champion status will be awarded to the winner of an aggregate of 4 events with each of the following gun types: GRSB, GRCF Standard, GRCF Classic, LBP, LBR. (Note: the GRCF Open category currently attracts very few entries and is under review.) The 4 events are the same 4 that make up the IGRF World Champion aggregates.
Within each National Championship aggregate, the top Lady and Junior shooters will receive an award.
We are also providing aggregates which include multiple rifle or handgun types. Medals will be awarded for these, and trophies where available, but they will not carry National Champion status.
The complete list of aggregates is shown below. Entry to each aggregate is automatic for any shooter who submits scores for all of the events in that aggregate.
[1]: Iron Sight event scores will count if the competitor does not shoot the equivalent Open event.
[2]: GRCF Classic event scores will count if the competitor does not shoot GRCF Standard event.
Results are posted from the Home Countries match for the Brownells Trophy held at the Derby Open – June 26-27 2021.

Please note the Aberdeen Wapinschaw Gallery Rifle competition originally scheduled for the 11th – 13th June has been postponed to the 1st – 3rd October.
The first classified competition for 2021 will be the Basildon Open. 30 April – 2 May.
Without dedicated volunteers the Phoenix and may other competitions would not be able to field the amount of competitors wanting to take part. You can help out for as little as half a day, or if you fancy it – the whole weekend!
The full Calendar of Events is always kept up to date however the current situation we find ourselves in mean there will probably be cancellations and postponements. A number of events have been lost from the originally published calendar which some people may have from mid January.

The 2020 Trafalgar results are now finalized and published. The historic Trafalgar scores database has also been updated. This only goes back to 2010 but this year’s results now mean there are 10 years of archive scores for the interested to peruse – over 11,200 entries.
Although the Trafalgar is a Classics and Historics meeting there is plenty of Galley Rifle shooting offered. The Spirit of the Original adheres of course but GR shooters should not overlook it. Some photos are shared on the Facebook platform for the Saturday and Sunday.
The Final Ranking Tables for (almost) all and classified events have been updated. Due to the social lockdowns the final bounding scores are Basildon 2019 and the recently completed AAW 2020 inclusive. This gives a maximum meeting count of 19 – about what we have in a normal season.
The final meeting of the 2020 season was the AAW 2020 at Bisley. The two November meetings at Chelmsford and Shepton Mallet (FDPC) have had to be cancelled.
The nominal ranking order list is still best 4 scores to count over a season. For all events this is sometimes hard to achieve as not all meetings offer all events. A ‘Raw Average’ column has been added which will indicate how people are averaging with 4 or less scores recorded. Note the RawAvg is an arithmetic average – not a <Score>.<Xcount> average which is the case in the in the ‘Best4‘ column.
By way of introduction to all you Gallery Rifle shooters out there….. I’m now the proud holder of the title “NRA Gallery Rifle & Pistol Rep” on the NRA Council. My aim is simple; to continue to promote and develop our sport, and represent you all in the Gallery Rifle discipline.
As some of you will know, I’ve been active in GR since it’s inception, and proudly shot with and Captained the GB GR teams. However, whilst remaining a competitor, I’m not as competitive as I’d now like to be and I’m happy to put my energies into a slightly different direction, supporting the wider GR community.
I’m going to be ably supported by a small but dedicated team in the GR Sub-Committee to focus on various aspects of GR including developing Juniors, and training more RO’s. I’ll be at Bisley for most GRAW weekends and other shoots. Feel free to hunt me down on Melville or Butt Zero, if you want to discuss any aspect of GR. In fact, as a starter for 10, please come and shoot the matches !
Remember – GR is our sport; we are the active element of the NRA, so please support our efforts to ensure GR remains safe, enjoyable and as popular as it can be, in a changing world.
Thank you.
