The British Sporting Rifle Club will be holding a sporting rifle shoot at 200 yards on Short Siberia (Bisley) on Sunday 23rd September 2018. The shoot will involve a defined course of fire on both a Chamois and Fox target and includes a ‘challenge’ event for aggregate scores from club teams of 4 shooters.
The Chamois
Shooters will be required to fire a total of 10 rounds in two series of 5 shots, no sighters permitted, at a DJV Chamois target. The first series of 5 shots will be from the prone position with the only rest permitted being a small backpack or similar bag under the fore end of the rifle – front bags, bipods or other front rests will not be permitted. The second series of 5 shots will be taken from a sitting position where the shooter may use a single stick - of the type that might be used to steady yourself when walking around the side of a mountain looking for Chamois to shoot! There is no time limit for completing either 5 shot series but shooters will be expected to take a shot on a single breath once the rifle is in the aim. This competition is shot under BSRC ‘Class B’ regulations relating to rifle and ammunition, as set out below, which will be applied without exception. Those wishing to shoot for ‘score only’ will be permitted to use any rifle/ammunition combination meeting NRA Range Regulations.
The Fox
Shooters will be required to fire a total of 10 rounds in two series of 5 shots, no sighters permitted, at a DJV Fox target. The first series of 5 shots will be from the sitting position using double sticks for support, the second series of 5 shots will be taken from a standing positon using double sticks. Only double sticks with two points of contact with the ground and a single point of contact with the rifle will be permitted.
A time limit of 90 seconds will be applied to each series of 5 shots. This competition is shot under BSRC ‘Open/Class A’ regulations relating to rifle and ammunition, as set out below, which will be applied without exception. Those wishing to shoot for ‘score only’ will be permitted to use any rifle/ammunition combination meeting NRA Range Regulations.
The Chamois Challenge
Open to teams of 4 shooters from a Club or other team/group,with the individual score from the nominated entry for each shooter forming the aggregate – to qualify as an aggregate score the shooter must nominate, giving details of their Club or team, before the first shot is fired in the nominated detail. Shooters may only nominate a single detail for one Club or group only, although a Club may enter more than one team.
Rifles/Ammunition
All rifles and ammunition must meet the NRA Range Regulations in place at the time of the shoot.
HME rifles/ammunition will not be allowed.
BSRC ‘Open/Class A’ – Adjustable cheek piece and butt plate allowed; weight as shot must not exceed 5.5kg; calibre not to exceed 8.0mm; case capacity not to exceed that of .30-06; trigger pull not less than 500g; set triggers prohibited.
BSRC ‘Class B’ – Normal hunting type stock (fixed extensions to raise the comb or lengthen stock permitted but adjustable target style stocks prohibited); weight as shot must not exceed 5.5kg; calibre not less than 0.240” (6.0mm) nor greater than 8.0mm; case capacity not to exceed that of .30-06; muzzle energy of ammunition used must not be less than 1700ftlb; trigger pull not less than 500g including set triggers when ‘set’.
Note: For the majority of centrefire cartridges falling within the NRA Range Regulations a shot fired from a rifle zeroed at 100 yards will generally fall approximately 3.5-4” low on the target at 200 yards. To compensate for this, shooters who do not have an established 200 yards zero should either adjust their sights to lift the bullet impact by 2” at 100 yards or take an aiming point approximately 3.5-4” above the intended point of impact.
Entry/Range Fees
Entry will be restricted to those able to provide either:
i) a current valid BSRC membership card;
ii) a current valid Individual NRA membership card; or
iii) a current valid individual BASC membership card.
Those not providing proof of BSRC membership will also be required to provide a current valid Firearms Certificate to confirm their name and address and details of these will be recorded at registration on the day in order to satisfy Home Office requirements for visitor attendance.
ALL shooters will be required to provide a current valid Safe Shooter Card showing the use of telescope sighted rifle.
Anyone not able to meet the entry requirements above will not be permitted to shoot.
A range fee of £10 will be payable on the day which will entitle the shooter to one entry in each of the Chamois and Fox events. Those wishing to re-enter may do so, subject to range capacity and with priority given to those who are entering for the first time, on payment of a fee of £3 per re-entry per event.
Prizes will be awarded for first place only to competitors meeting the entry requirements as follows:
BSRC Members Chamois - a commemorative Stein for the highest score
Fox - a commemorative Stein for the highest score
Non-BSRC members Chamois - a commemorative engraved glass for the highest score
Fox - a commemorative engraved glass for the highest score
The Chamois Team Challenge - a commemorative engraved glass for each member of the team with the highest aggregate score.
Prize giving will be at the end of shooting in the afternoon and in any event no later than 4:30pm.
PM me only if you intend to enter and please refrain from any general rant about SCC, insurance, NRA etc.
