Historic Service Rifle Match

Saturday 6th April

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).

 

Overview

This match takes place at 100, 200 and 300 yards, in a mixture of standing, squatting, kneeling or prone positions.

This event is open to British pre-1945 Service Rifles (pre 1919 if entering Classic), under SR (a), in three classes. In addition there is an All Comers Class for all Foreign Service Rifles:

  • Classic (SMLEs)
  • Veteran (No 4s/No 5s)
  • Veteran Optic (No 4T)
  • All Comers Iron (Foreign SR)

 

 

Course of Fire

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.

 

Prizes

Prizegiving will follow shooting on range at approx 1730 hrs.
