Is this just an invite for Midland clubs or nation wide.

Hi Andy
This is a good question. I posted the above to try and get clubs in the Midlands interested

However I do know that county boundaries are not rigidly applied by several regional shooting associations/bodies

I will therefore discuss with the leagues chairman the option of opening up the proposed benchrest league to clubs that are outside of the Midlands region
I will post his preference/views

looks interesting, however rule 1.3 means that rests suitable for NSRA competitions would not be allowed. Could I suggest that the NSRA or uk 22 br specs are adopted, therefore allowing more people to compete without having to obtain another rest.

Love to discuss further.

I'm at the british air champs this weekend if youre there. If not drop me a line.

The main difference between the NSRA and the UK22 Benchrest rules is the exclusion of the rear rest for NSRA competitions



We are proposing at this stage to allow the shooter to use a rear rest in accordance with UK22Benchrest rules

Some clubs may feel that they wish to shoot under NSRA rules and not UK22BR

This will be discussed by committee

The specifications of the front rest are also very different.

Hi
Sounds Good. If other counties can enter ,then we would be interested in entering one team at least,Inter club competition can only improve the sport.

I don't mind what the rules are, John. Sutton will put a team or two together. I assume that you want to confine it to the current Midland league at first but maybe an intercounty competition might be feasible at a later date. Maybe even a shoulder-to-shoulder match one day. Many thanks for proposing this idea. I'll start practising.

Thanks mate - i will keep you informed

The letters to all the Midland league clubs went out today
I will start chasing up replies in 2 weeks or so

If this really gets off the ground i may run an open shoot at our club on our new 25 yard indoor range (as suggested by Rockphoon)or perhaps our new 50 metre range(just completed thanks to lottery grant body - Awards for All)
