The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

The Highpower Rifle Association is running a Precision Sharp and Snap Shooting Match at Bisley on 6 Aug 2011 with a proportion of the entry fee going to the Royal British Legion. The match has been designed to allow many of the regular Civilian Service Rifle shooters and others to get their Remingtons, AWs, AICS mounted custom builds and other bolt guns out for a day on challenging targets for a good cause. We are hoping to have up to 48 entries on the day and have managed to get some sponsorship together to support the event from precision rifle builders and suppliers. Whilst this is all KDS the targets are challenging they allow the shooter to engage targets subject to the ability of their equipment and themselves and offer the shooter something different.

Here is a selection of the Targets we are going to use on the day:

200 Yards Partially Obscured Targets, each target (non-scoring black area) is approximately 2.5MOA. Two shots are required on each target (total ten shots) in 5 minutes.


Some of the 300, 400, 500 and 600 yard stages






There will also be snap shooting sequences at 400 (Fig 14), 500 (Fig 12B) and 600 (Fig 12C) yards, five six second exposures two shots each exposure.

T-Shirts for the Match will be available at cost + £2.00 to go to the RBL, if you can't make it but would like a shirt drop me a PM as I am taking orders up until midnight on 24 Jul 11.

Welcome to the forum John MH ...hope you enjoy.

Welcome to the forum John, I have been watching the run up to this competition on another forum with great interest and the chance to shoot against some great shooters and proper targets and for a very good cause should be a chance too good to miss. Disappointingly I cannot make is due to a prior a arrangement so I wish all the competitors the best of luck.

I hope you can keep us abreast of the competition and results with a range report. :goodjob:

If any of you guys and girls that have downloaded an Entry Form wish to enter please PM me with your email address (will also email CoF as its too big to upload) and I'll get you put on the provisional list, looks like there are only four places left.

For anyone wavering about entering because they don't think they have a suitable rifle or scope there are loan rifles available to use, two have already been taken but one more is available.

If you fancy shooting one of these give IM me and we'll see what we can do.

John,

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this time round, but I really like the Course of Fire and would love to have a go in the future. I hope that the day is a success and that the Association will run more days in the future - and that you will give us plenty of heads up!

All the best,

DM

If it is a success we hope to make it an annual event.

Thanks

John,

I wish the shoot all the success. I hope to make the next one.

James
