NRA Journal

We are keen to ensure that regional shooting receives its fair share of coverage in the new and redesigned NRA Journal – but this can only happen if you send in stories, photos and news snippets for inclusion.
Editor James Marchington, at the new publishers Blaze Publishing, welcomes any material or ideas and is happy to rewrite or follow up stories if necessary. Photos are especially welcome, but please keep individual emails to a manageable size (under 10Mb) - large files are best sent via a service such as wetransfer.com
Contact James by email at jamesm@blazepublishing.co.uk, telephone 01926 339808, or mobile 07836 350652.

So who is the Sec Gen?

Not the best of starts regarding Blaze Publishing, I have emailed them several times and so far only one reply...actually I got a reply because I emailed the NRA asking them if they knew why Blaze was not responding...so the NRA must have nudged them.

Derrick Mabbott is acting secgen at the moment.

Heather,
What is 'Target Shotgun'?

Vince,

The Blue Team run a Target Shotgun comp alongside the quarterly Gallery Rifle comps at Bisley, you will probably recognise the courses from the pistol days and are very similar to Police Pistol 1 and Timed and precision 1 comps - a combination of accuracy and speed with turning targets at 10 to 30 yards.

Also there is a longer distance course of fire that we are not involved with,
