Precision Sharp and Snap Shooting Match, Bisley, 4 Aug 12

The Highpower Rifle Association is running a Precision Sharp and Snap Shooting Match at Bisley on 4 Aug 2012 with a proportion of the entry fee going to the Royal British Legion, this is a repeat of last year's very successful event. 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 Gavin Heywood is trying to get some sponsorship together to support the event from precision rifle builders and suppliers (Gavin of Anglo Custom Rifle has already agreed to provide some support and hopefully he will be able to get more supporters onboard). 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.

The CoF is still requires minor tweaks and agreement of target sizes, then it will be subject to NRA approval, but will be shot from 200 to 600 yards and will consist of about 100+ rounds. Competitors will be required to do their turn pulling targets in the Butts.

Any questions please PM me

No takers?

Look at last years match report, photos and Targetshooter article.

Snooze and a chance to shoot or walk away with a prize far in excess of your entry fee might be lost.

I am very tempted as it looked like great fun last year, I will need to get closer to the date before saying yes though.

I went last year and it was great fun, although with a stalking rifle with a drop plate mag and 6x scope I was never going to worry the winner :lol: :lol:

I have a feeling this will fill up fairly quickly, can you post some warnings as we get closer to the date and the numbers available diminish to give me a good warning :good:

Kenny would probably agree it's the taking part that counts, don't remember the shorts though. :o
