The Dewar World Championships is a brand new global .22 prone rifle competition, launched by the National Small-bore Rifle Association (NSRA) as part of its 125‑year anniversary celebrations. The event will be held annually as part of the Bisley National Rifle Meeting.

The 2026 Championships mark the first opportunity for shooters to compete for the official title of Dewar World Champion, in both Individual and Team categories. This historic launch builds on more than a century of Dewar tradition and welcomes competitors from shooting nations across the world.

The NSRA’s Bisley National Rifle Meeting has been part of the fabric of small-bore shooting in the UK for over 100 years. It is a truly unique experience, featuring either a weekend or a full week of competitive shooting and socialising at the height of the English summer.

Bisley Camp is home to a wide range of shooting organisations and is widely regarded as the heart of shooting in the UK. Its historic Century Range, with its ever-changing wind conditions and fabled mirage, provides a fitting and demanding challenge for the inaugural Dewar World Championships. These new competitions will be a star attraction within an already outstanding programme, adding further global interest to the NSRA’s premier annual small-bore event.

Building on the successful international launch of the Brock D. Comer Memorial Competition in 2025, which offered shooters of all levels the opportunity to compete for significant honours, the inaugural Dewar World Championships will help propel the Bisley National Rifle Meeting onto the world stage. The NSRA looks forward to welcoming athletes from across the globe to compete in both of these prestigious events.
