Rule B3.7.2 More rules – well – clarifications. Keen readers of the 2024 GR&P Handbook will have noticed we have a new rule, B3.7.2, which states that all loaded rounds must be fired before a reload takes place. Clarification of the rule is required as it was introduced to help align with overseas formats regarding […]
Proposed changes to under-lever loading rules for 2025. Where a COF requires competitors to reload an under-lever, it is common safe practice to fire 6 shots, load 6 rounds through the gate and then rack the action and carry on shooting. However, there are still a small minority that eject their fired 6th round, then […]
Imperial GR&P Meeting 2024 For a few years now at the GR&P Imperial meeting entries have been scarce in some competitions (especially the Trophy Matches) to the point where some were significantly undersubscribed and some actually empty. However, the ‘Unlimited’ matches continue to attract shooters throughout the weekend. There were also calls for more recognition […]

LBP/LBR Survey The NRA recently conducted a survey seeking shooters views on proposed changes to the competition classes for LBP/LBR’s. From the feedback received, it was evident that any changes will require a lot more thought, as replies raised a number of questions that hadn’t been considered in the original proposal. Therefore, there will no […]
