One of the benefits for the 1922 shooter was that on Running Deer there was plenty of room just behind the firing point to park a car. So a very short walk with a canvas rifle bag, scope and mat, and not much else, and you were ready for business.
On the other hand we are talking of 1922 when relatively few shooters enjoyed the luxury of having a car. Instead there was that great British asset of the time – an extensive rail network. Brookwood Station is, of course, a mile away from the camp, but for the duration of the July shoots there was the added bonus of The Bisley Bullet. For just a few old pennies, a shuttle service brought you direct to the Camp Station, now the Lloyds Bank RC clubhouse.
We would like to thank our partners at Bluefin Sport for developing a new insurance micro-site which is now live.
NSRA Bluefin Sport Microsite - Insurance Zone
Our aim is to provide you with a comprehensive and easy to use one-stop-shop for all your insurance questions and queries. If you can’t find the information you are looking for then please use the Contact page to find out the information you require. We hope you find the new micro-site helpful and informative and a welcome new addition to our Membership Services.
We promised to publish the details of the finals by Close of Business today, however there is a totally unexpected delay.
A competitor’s original cards were lost in the post (proof of posting was obtained) and subsequently a fresh set of stickers was sent to the competitor.
The cards have been re-shot and were posted first class to the scorer. These have yet to be received by the scorer as at 17:00 today, 24th September.
As soon as we have these scores we will be in a position to publish and announce the finalists.
We are sorry for the delay, however this is due entirely to something out of our control and hope that you will be patient for a little longer.

Following on from the problems experienced with the 50m EST's at the recent ESSU Championships the NSRA has formed a working group with representation from both 50mrifle and pistolshooting 'users' and the ESSU. The purpose of the 'working group' is to assist the NSRA with improving the reliability of the existing Sius Ascor EST's. A number of changes have already been made to the targets on one bay of the LRC 50m range and reliability appears to have improved, however it is 'early days' and more testing is being carried out.
In response to the proposed banning of lead in ammunition, the NSRA has produced the document ("Lead in Small-bore Target Shooting" together with 4 annexes) linked below. This is being shared with other organisations to help them produce their own versions in the context of their disciplines. Although this will be submitted from the NSRA, it will also add to the combined response from the target shooting sector though our links to BSSC and other shooting organisations.
Whilst a collective response from the sport is critical, it is very important for all clubs and individuals to make their thoughts and comments known separately. Please use the information contained in this document to help form your ideas and construct your own individual responses.
The Health and Safety Executive has launched an online consultation which can be viewed at https://consultations.hse.gov.uk/crd-reach/restriction-proposals-001/consultation/
The NSRA has also responded to the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) who are conducting a similar survey and consultation.
ATTENTION ALL TARGET SPRINT LEADERS!
British Shooting, in partnership with the NSRA invite all Target Sprint Leaders who attained their qualification prior to August 2021, to take part in a 1-hour refresher online session, in order to maintain their Leader Qualification.
Attending a 1-hour Refresher session will be compulsory for those who wish to keep their Target Sprint Leader Qualification. The sessions will be delivered via Microsoft Teams by Paul Langford, (Target Sprint Educator).
