Historic Service Rifle Match – 30th September
Overview
Historic Service Rifle Matches
Twice a year the NRA hold a CSR match that is purely for Historic Rifles where the classes include Classic (SMLE), Veteran (No. 4s/No. 5s), Veteran Optic (No. 4T) and All-Comers (Foreign SR). The competition consists of deliberate, rapid and snap shooting standing and kneeling at 100 yards, prone and sitting/squatting/kneeling at 200 yards and finally prone at 300 yards.
The Course of Fire (CoF) is based on military practices shooting from standing, kneeling, sitting and prone. There are no Run Downs!
Targets will be a Fig 12 at 100 yds, then an NRA DP2 at 200 and 300 yds. The DP2 is a black & white target similar to a Fig 11, but will offer better target acquisition and sight picture than a standard brown/black Fig 11.The HBSA and LERA have been involved in the development of the event.
Prizegiving will follow shooting on range at approx 1730 hrs.

Entries to the trial event were overwhelmingly for British Service Rifles, thus for this match we are restricting the classes to British SR only in SR(a) and (Open).
The Course of Fire (CoF) is based on military practices with standard Fig 11 and Fig 12 targets, shooting from standing, kneeling, sitting and prone. There are no Run Downs included!
Competitors will meet at the 300x car park on Century (Butt 19) at 1300 hrs for a mandatory Range Briefing, with the match shot in the afternoon only, followed by prize giving on range at approximately 1730 hrs.
We hope owners of British historic Service Rifles will take up the challenge.
