In the UK most ranges were forced to close due to the Coronavirus, so people have been nable to shoot for 4 months.
I am pleased to be able to give you advance notice that the SURREY BRANCH of the MLAGB will be running their “Repeating pistol Meeting” at Bisley on September 26th & 27th. That means that your Members can get back into the swing of things, so please do advise them of the news.
This well-established Open Meeting is for all types of M-L “repeating pistols” --- 19th Century designs, 20th Century Repros and “enhanced versions” and the 21st Century “Modern Muzzle-loaders” (using smokeless powder but they MUST bear valid British Proofmarks for the smokelss loads).
Each Course of fire allows sighters and then 3 series of 5 shots to score --- SLOWFIRE (3 mins per series), TIMEDFIRE (1 minute per series) and RAPIDFIRE (30 seconds per series), plus “BOBBER” on turning targets (5 secs faced / 10 seconds edged) and “SURRENDEN” – shooting against the clock.
We allow OFFHAND (one hand only) and SUPPORTED (2 hands may be used) and the AWARDS are scaled according to the number of entries, with “Illuminated Place Certificates” and traditional “Skilled Shot Certificates” – in the past people who consider themselves “only Club Shooters” have been pleased to receive recognition.
Information about the RPM is available from our Match Director (Rob Brassington) on < surreybranch.rpm @ gmail.com > (remove the spaces) and should soon be downloadable from the Surrey Branch website. When the Entry Formms are available (next week) I will post again with attachments.
Get shooting again!
