2011 Shooting Update
The OM Shooting Club will shortly be
commencing the 2011 full-bore season with a
practice shoot at Bisley in early April in
preparation for the Public Schools Veteran's
match which this year will be on July 14th 2011.
|
We have been
gradually creeping up the score board over
recent years and the practice is definitely
demonstrating a marked improvement in overall
performance.
|
We have a team of
small-bore shooters participating once again in
the British Schools Small-Bore Rifle Association
"Fletcher Cup" still organised by Frank Harris
(ex Malvern Master) whom many OM shooters will
recall from the Sixties and Seventies.
|
We are hoping to
engage The School for a shoulder to shoulder
small-bore shoot on OM Day and to combine that
with an Invitation Competition at Chepstow Rifle
Club making it a 3 way competition. It is
understood that the school can field a team that
is capable of very competitive shooting having
won their division in the NSRA Summer league in
2010.
|
So we all look
forward to making contact and encouraging the
sport in the school. So come on The School we
throw down the challenge!!
|
|
Any OM's who have
shot, that includes most of us who were in the
CCF, and fancy taking it up again even for just
a few weekends, and are interested in
encouraging the sport at The School then please
contact
