It would seem that individuals have been spreading a rumour that the Junior International, held at the Lord Roberts Centre, Bisley Camp in August, has been cancelled. This is not the case and the event is programmed to take place between 8th to 11th August 2016. Entries are still being taken and the closing date for entries has been extended until the 20th May 2016.
There are individual events shot to ISSF Rules and individual events shot to NSRA Sporter Air Rifle Rules. There are opportunities to shot as individuals as well as teams and more details are available along with entry forms. Accommodation and meals can be organised for all those taking part and there are additional rifle shooting opportunities on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th August. Friday 12th August sees the NSRA Inter-Regional Competition taking place and GBR Shooters may enter via their appropriate regional teams. Competitors from outside GBR will be accommodated if space allows. Saturday 13th August sees the start of the prestigious NSRA Bisley Meeting and there are a number of competitions that may be of interest to young shooters being held on the Saturday and Sunday. More details of the Bisley Meeting are available on the NSRA Website.
The Junior International offers outstanding competitive opportunities for all junior shooters and has been a key element of the annual competitive programme for young people.
