New Hybrid competition. Prone any Rifle, any sight Shoot. Saturday 9th July 2022 ECSC.
Since our club was founded over 50 years ago, we have had two mainstream Rifle disciplines. The first is the Olympic ISSF style , using jackets and slings, shot in either the prone position or in the 3 position style(Prone, kneeling and standing). The second is the sporting rifle style, shot in many positions, rested or unrested, at 50 or 100 metres. In the last few years, a third style has become popular, the Gallery Rifle style, shot standing up at short distances as it grew out of the pistol competitions which were popular in the UK. It was evident that there was demand for a “combined” style which would allow any form of experience or equipment to be used so we set up a Cross over competition, the rules of which are set out below. If you peruse these rules, you will see the wide appeal.
We ran the competition on Saturday 9th July and some pics of the equipment used and the competitors who took part are shown in the attached photos. Some members who took part have been more than 40 years in the club. Others had been only weeks in the club and this was their first competition. To celebrate, we had a nice BBQ on a perfect Irish Summer’s Day after the shoot, much enjoyed by all present. We will run another one of these later in the year which will be open to members and non members who wish to participate.
