2025 GR&P Handbook The 2025 GR&P handbook is now published. PDF copies available on-line. Hard copies will be at the NRA Office, Bisley in time for the Spring Meeting – 28-30 March 2025
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 […]
The 2024 GR&P Handbook is published
Potential GR&P Rule Change When the Gallery Rifle (GR&P) discipline was founded, many of its rules were inspired by those of the World Association 1500 (WA1500), the governing body for a wide range of handgun shooting. Over time, we’ve refined the GR&P rules based on experience and common practice. One of the common practices adopted […]
The 2023 GR&P Handbook Published March 2023. This handbook supersedes previous editions. Changes from the 2022 edition are marked up appropriately. They are listed within and are summarised below A3.2.8f Update to the LBR clearance procedure A3.5.1 Added reference to artificial supports B6.1.1 Update to the term Benched B6.9 […]
McQueen GRSB Classifications One to note for McQueen GRSB (also known as Mini McQueen) shooters. It has been decided to classify the Mini McQueen events into three divisions. The classification formula will follow that of the main events using the three year sliding window format. Classification boundaries have been set for the 2023 season as […]
Bianchi Amendments One for Bianchi shooters to note… Currently the Bianchi match is only shot at the Phoenix and the Nationals. For the last few years the ‘standard’ range set up on Stickledown Butt Zero has been Barricades, Mover, Plates and the Practical match. The Plates and Practical match were squeezed in on the right […]
2023 Classification Breakpoint Changes Classification breakpoints are reviewed annually and it has been decided to amend the class boundaries across most of the events in an attempt to spread shooters more fairly across the divisions offered. The majority of changes are just tweaks to the class boundaries – some raised – some lowered. However two […]
GR&P Rules – Key Changes for 2022 The 2022 Edition of the GR&P Handbook includes a variety of changes. Most are clarifications, correction of typos and so on. However, all competitors and range crew need to be aware of the key changes below. The section/paragraph number shown for each is taken from the new Handbook; […]
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 […]
General Range Etiquette Enhancements for 2022 There will be some documented enhancements (or perhaps reminders) to range etiquette in the 2022 handbook which will relate to what competitors should be aware of within the constraints of any competition event timings whilst they are shooting ‘on the line’. For any competition or event there is usually […]
Notification of Rule Change for 2022 Please note there will be a rule change implemented for the 2022 season which will impact the following events for rifle shooters. The 1500 match The 1020 match The T&P2 match The rule change is a slight enhancement of the “Changing Positions” rule which outlines that firearms must be […]
