Musket & Rifle Entry Form / Pistol Entry Form
Prizes are: a Charles Moore flintlock pistol and a Trapdoor Springfield rifle in 45/70. Many thanks to Davide Pedersoli and their UK distributors, Viking Arms.


The National Pistol Championships is cancelled for the weekend 12/13 June. The NRA are unable to facilitate a suitable range for us to carry out the event. A last minute move to Wedgnock Ranges was considered. However the National Championships must be available to everyone who wants to compete, and not just to those who can accommodate this change. Postponing the event is the only option. Dates yet to be arranged.

Cumbria. Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones and with
