Anyone else shoot historic pistol at Bisley?

[StangGT]

And if so, do you know what the blazes is going on? My club has had all its bookings for the year cancelled.

Not really sure why yet... Can anyone throw any light?

[Sim G]

For the rest of the year? We're only two months into it....

[StangGT]

Yes, we have a standing booking, every 3rd Sunday of the month.

All of them cancelled. To say we're not exactly happy is an understatement.

[dromia]

Surely they would have had the courtesy to give you an explanation.

[StangGT]

All we've heard (and we the members have heard NOTHING from the NRA ourselves) is that the NRA want to organise historic pistol, rather than allowing clubs to do it themselves.

Which aint much of an explanation; it's more of a statement of 'we're cancelling it because we can'

The guys that run the club are going in for a meeting with the NRA soon when I'm sure we'll learn more, but right now, all we know is that our club bookings are cancelled, whether we like it or not.

[dromia]

I'm glad I got mine off 7.3 and onto 7.1 even when it means I can't shoot them now.

I wonder how much ammo they have in stock that they haven't been able to sell......?

What arrangements does your club have to store and transport Section 7.3 pistols?

Not sure if you're asking me this but none... all done via NRA

Tameside Shooting Sports Association Ltd in Manchester hope to have their Sec 7.3 staus renewed in the near future.

Waiting for that one, any updates please let us know.
