Gallery Rifle and Pistol Autumn Action Weekend

National Shooting Centre, Bisley 27th and 28th October 2012

The online entry for the Autumn Action Weekend is now available via the link on the front page of the NRA website or available to download

Don’t forget to bring your Firearm Certificate and your competency certification card as you will be required to produce one or both before you can shoot.

Range Officers – Voluneer here

Please let me know as soon as you can if you are able to help out during the 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 much easier.

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.

Aldershot Mini McQueen

It’s back by popular demand as we’ve managed to squeeze it in on Melville for a short period. Limited spaces are available for a pretty demanding event. All you need is a .22 rifle with or without (!) a rest and the absolute certainty of your 50m zero as the targets are a bit on the small side.

Hope to see you there.

Rules is Rules

September 13, 2012 Neil

As many know we publish the Gallery Rifle and Pistol Handbook on an annual basis and for the last 4 to 5 years have incorporated the Phoenix Handbook into the same self contained volume. The plan is the same for the 2013 season and its about now the work starts.

If anyone wants to help, offer feedback, moans, groans, gripes or any sort of constructive critique of the rulebook let me know. Yes – rules are rules and we have to do this – be thankful we are not the ISSF with their rifle and pistol rule changes proposals for the 2013 to 2016 session!

The current Handbook and Phoenix booklet will be updated for the 2013 season. The 2013 drafts are on-line now for comment, critique and updates.

Anyone wanting to comment on these please contact me. You will need a Google account to add or amend content. Let me know what it is and I’ll add you to the 2013 editorial team. If you don’t have a Google account – just go get one. Takes a few minutes and its free.

The Final Quarter

September 12, 2012 Neil

The Final Quarter

Just a reminder. The last few shoots of the 2012 season for the smaller regional venues and and all well worth booking into your diary.

On the 22nd September we have the SLG Bisley 1500 + shorts. This one held on Melville ranges at Bisely and all are invited back to the Spott for drinks and a BBQ. Should be a good day’s shooting and a good relaxed social event to finish it off.

On the 23rd September the Budleigh TSC Rimfire Festival will be taking place at Budleigh Farm, Moretonhampstead. A 300 round Steel Challenge/falling plate match.

On the 30th September Mattersey RPC will be hosting the Bianchi and Shorts meeting at their excellent facility in North Nottingshamshire. This year the guys are offering the ever poplar and very challenging Bianchi Classic match.

And if your interested…

The German Open held at Leitmar in Germany over the weekend 10th – 11th November. GB and Ireland will be travelling with teams to compete against Germany in the third and final IGRF International match of the year.

Royal Mail Prohibition – Read Now

September 12, 2012 scouseneil

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. Time is short; submissions must be in by 17th September.

A Consultation Document has been published. Members of the public can respond to this document. Deadline for responses is: 10am Monday 17th September 2012.

Historic Scores

Historic Scores & Stats

As with other data we have on this site we currently only collect data for the classified GR&P events. Namely:

T&P1
T&P2
Multi Target
Phoenix A
Bianchi
1500
Advancing Target

The reason is historic and may well change in the future. Collecting data from shoots around the country is difficult and time consuming. We have not settled on a consistent format which every meeting organiser complies to or understands. Hopefully as time progresses and match directors become more conversant with the tools available to them this will change

At the moment we only have accurate per-meeting scores data in an appropriate format going back to the beginning of 2010. Other scores data is listed as ‘historic’. It is possible this can be tidied up and may well be in the future. In the mean time what we currently have in a structured format is available for browsing and searching on-line.

Please consider this experimental at the moment – it may well have inconsistencies and bugs.

Just updated to include the Nationals

NRA Open Day – Saturday 8th September

August 22, 2012 Neil

NRA Open Day – Saturday 8th September

The NRA will be holding the next Open Day where visitors will be able to try shotgun, air rifle, fullbore rifle, sporting rifle, gallery rifle, laser clays, precision snap, practical and historical rifles to name but a few, all with one-to-one coaching.

The Gallery rifle elements of the Open day take place on Melville Ranges and concentrate primarily on lever action rifles. GRSB is already well catered for on the Steels layout over on Stickledown ranges where the newly updates Ruger 10/22s are put to good use.

However, traditionally, GRCF shooting has not been too well catered for. We could do much better in this area to aid in the overall promotion of the discipline. The main sticking point has been people willing to volunteer for coaching and general running of the bays on Melville on the day.

So if anyone is willing to volunteer a day of their time on Saturday the 8th September to help out it would be appreciated by all and will allow you to put a bit back into the future of the sport and the gallery Rifle discipline. You won’t be out of pocket. A day rate of £55 will be offered to cover out of pocket expenses such as travel etc. If people are travelling long distances overnight accommodation on the Friday/Saturday is also possible.

Welsh Open – Results

The Welsh Gallery Rifle Club

Open Championships 2012

The Welsh Open Championships was held at Haverfordwest Shooting club over the weekend of the 11th and 12th August.

The weather was fine and sunny – for most of the time! Good enough for a few of us to camp out, drink a few beers and put the world to rights around the virtual camp fire in the evening.

Results linked below and a call to mark the date in your diaries for next year. We could do with a few more competitors to make it an event to cement into the calendar. Its a hike for some – thats appreciated. But plenty of space for camping and the town of Haverfordwest is less than 2 miles away and a joy to visit. A weekend can be made of it.

This was the initial round of the 1500 and shorts leagues. Initial tables for these to be published soon.

Range Officers at the Nationals

A final call for volunteers.

We are still short of Range Officers for the Gallery Rifle National Championships next weekend – 25th to 26th August. If anybody can give some time to helping out it will be greatly appreciated.

It is not essential that you are qualified RCO as there are many tasks that need to be carried out on range. Any volunteers are entitled to food and accommodation if required.

Its been said before, but it will always be the case. These meetings simply cannot run without the help and dedication of the volunteer community. Even volunteering for half a day on one of the ranges helps out enormously.

See you all there.
