NRA medals will be presented following the meeting to the top placed competitors in each event. The amount of medals presented depends on the amount of entries:

  • 2+ competitors – Gold medal awarded
  • 6+ competitors – Gold and Silver medals awarded
  • 11+ competitors – Gold, Silver and Bronze medals awarded

Phoenix Grand Master Medal: By achieving a certain score in particular matches, you will be awarded ‘standards’ which equate to points towards a Grand Master Medal. Details on the scores you need to achieve can be found in the GR&P Handbook

Alan Whittle Novice Trophy: This will be awarded to competitors who have not previously entered an open Meeting at Bisley or elsewhere. The winner will be whoever achieves the highest number of points in the standard medal scores system

Standards: Included in the results for most events is a column stating if the score you have achieved meets a certain Standard. These equate to points which collectively could see you awarded a Grand Master Medal. The boundaries for Standards can be found towards the back of the GR&P Handbook

🏆 Prizegiving takes place on the Sunday after the conclusion of the Meeting. In addition to the awards above, a number of matches have perpetual trophies awarded – marked with a trophy symbol upon entry
