We are delighted to announce that Accuracy International Ltd are proudly sponsoring two new prestigious awards for the McQueen series of competitions.

Accuracy International Ltd are a highly respected company based in the UK who design and produce high quality precision rifles for the individual shooter and for the UK and International Forces.   The McQueen matches’ historical origins are from sniper training from the First World War so are very well aligned with Accuracy International’s pedigree for the precision sniper rifle and its rich history.

The McQueen A (Precision) Under 25: 

The team at Accuracy International (AI) are  keen to encourage young shooters into target shooting so will award a stunning hallmarked 1966 Sheffield Silver Salver and a Miniature AI Rifle Model to the winner of this new category.  This match is shot at 300 yards on Century Range, two sighting shots with ten to count with issued NRA rifles – currently AI Accuracy Tactical rifles.

The McQueen Pairs:  

AI are awarding an elegant Antique Victorian 1898 Silver Cup and two Miniature AI Rifle Models for the winners of this competition.  It is open to any number of teams of two from any rifle club affiliated to the NRA, Unit of HM Forces or visiting team regardless of discipline. The awards will go to the team whose aggregate scores, with each member firing the McQueen A (Precision) match once only, make up the highest aggregate.

We look forward to receiving your entries into these exciting matches.  Entries are to be made on the day on Century range.
