Results–Sporting Rifle Competitions Sunday 5th January 2020

The first rifle competitions of 2020 got off to a very lively start with 16 entries across the two formats. both shot under NASRPC rules:

50 Metre Field Sporter Prone

This is shot in the prone position  with rifles weighing under 10.5 lb, any sights, rested front and back. 20 shots plus sighters are fired at 2 cards with 5 shots into each of 4 bulls on each card. Max possible score is 400.40. One competitor ( Hugh D.), shot the unrested variation of this competition, , using a  sling and closed target jacket, and put in a very good score against the rested rifles.

50 Metre Precision Standing

This is shot in the standing position with 10 shots into each of 3 targets in 5 minutes per target. An additional sighting target is first shot with unlimited sighters in 5 minutes. Max possible score is 300.30

Conditions were OK with a consistent wind at approx 9 MPH at right angles to the range. First shots were fired at 10. A persistent mild drizzle did not dampen  down the enthusiasm shown by the competitors in entering the first club rifle competition this year which was seen by many as preparation for the inter club NASRPC shoots which will take place throughout the year.
