ONLINE BOOKING To encourage multiple entries, your own firing point for either the Morning or the Afternoon costs just £20. We anticipate that there will be time for at least 6 details in that period (more if everyone is prompt!) Alternatively, you may book just two entries (AM or PM) for £8 (Add to Cart and repeat for multiple bookings) 2021 PRONE: We have only been able to book the range for a single day, so this year we cannot include the option to shoot Prone INTRODUCTION Following 2014’s successful relaunch of the Historic Miniature Rifle event we have clarified and expanded the classes. The idea of this event is to provide a competition for earlier single shot, repeating (slide, bolt or lever actions) and modern Gallery rifles, both Target and sporting, competing in the “Spirit of the Original”. We are able to use once more the historic 25 yard Winans range complex at Bisley (the old Pistol Gallery, fitted with a good roof!), now restricted to lower-powered rifles (up to 2000 fps and1200 ft.lbs energy). This is ideal for standing (offhand) shooting, and in addition we also offer the option of the ‘Standing Supported’ matches, to be run in parallel with the standing matches. The Standing Supported part of this event revives an Edwardian tradition where competitors could rest the back of their non-trigger finger hand against an angled wooden support so as to steady their aim. The rifle itself should NOT contact the rest, which is not load-bearing. This was originally for ladies and youthful shooters, but now some of our senior competitors also find it to be of benefit. All NSRA August competitors will be particularly welcome. All competitors shall be members of an NRA or NSRA-affiliated club. Any rifle classification issues will be decided by the Match Director on the day. Please bring your Firearms Certificate and Shooters Certification Card (SCC). If you do not yet have an SCC you may shoot under "one to one" supervision subject to availability of SCC holders to do so. DISTANCE: 25 yards Course of fire: Two HBSA 1906 Bullseye targets will be set up, with 12 shots at each, and the best 2 x 10 shots will count. NO sighters. To be completed within 30 minutes. Highest possible score is 140 points. Bullseye is 2”, scores 7. For tie-breaks there is a 1" carton MATCH 20: .22lr Military Training rifles such as the 1906 WO Pattern, and other converted centrefire rifles e.g. Lee-Enfield Mk 8. Iron sights.
