Bisley National Rifle Meeting Highlights
It was another fantastic week celebrating the .22 competitive shooting community at our flagship event on Century Range at Bisley Camp. We had some stunning weather, great competitions and joyful camaraderie, which was amplified by the presence of the American contingent this year!
The much-anticipated Field Marshal Lord Roberts Match was a glorious spectacle of elite shooting, with Century Range providing the usual challenging wind conditions to keep the Wind Coaches and competitors on their toes. However, the GB Team claimed a resounding victory over the USA Team, taking the win by 42 points! heir score of 3863 was the second-best performance by a GB Team since the competition began and the first time GB have won the match since 2009.
