The Multi Target Match A fair bit of feedback on the Multi-Target walkdown proposal. Most of it in favour of at least having the option. Even if your friendly match director does not take the opportunity of the potential flexibility this offers you can only lead a horse to water…. However flexibility does bring complexity […]

303 Rifle Events At the Phoenix Meeting there are events specifically for the .303 rifle. The .303 Rifle class is at present ‘Any .303 Rifle’. Its probably hard to justify the fact that it is fair to have people shooting ‘As issued Rifles‘ competing alongside shooters who have fitted telescopic sights and bipods. In fact it […]

Or Contribute Even….? OK – so signing up to these things is a pain. Posts on Galleryrifle.com will continue and a few more which will be published before the start of the next season really do require feedback from the GR&P community. All I do, mainly, is collate and communicate what I’ve been asked to consider. The […]
The Multi-Target Match Procedure for Shooting It has been proposed that event organisers and match directors should have the option of running the Multi-Target match as a ‘walkdown’. This meaning each of the four 6 shot practices should be shot back to back and the whole match scored just once at the end of the process. Recall the course of […]

Royal Mail Prohibition – Read Now
September 12, 2012
Neil
The Royal Mail and the Transportation of Firearms and component parts The Royal mail is proposing to prohibit firearms and parts, including air-sun parts, triggers, and magazines from their postal service. This could have serious implications; the returning faulty rifles, triggers for service, buying spares, need I go on. Anything posted after November will be destroyed. […]
