    Vintage Air Rifle Shoot at Bisley - Easter Sunday

    For those who have bought 'new' rifles for their collections at the Bisley Arms Fair (and those who didn't!), BFTO are holding a vintage air rifle shoot in the woods on Easter Sunday from 09.45 onwards. This is a great opportunity to use a pre 1939 air rifle in the woods in like minded company. Please ensure you arrive before 09.45 for the mandatory safety brief.

    If you want to bring nibbles, please do - I think Josie is baking a cake and no doubt Chris will bring along some of her famous sausage rolls!

    These competitions are as competitive as you want. There is no pressure to score well but if you do, prepare for some friendly banter.

    Hope to see friends old and new next Sunday.

    Andy was once going to supply Edbear with a GAT rifle to shoot the comp with but we could not find one. I reckon Eddie would still have shot well with it though

    Typical of my luck! Can't make it this time, plane takes off in a couple of hours for Oz/Tasmania. I REALLY enjoy the Bisley vintage shoots ( and the sausage rolls ).

    If you haven't done it yet, why not? And excuses about travelling are not acceptable........ mind you, wallabies make bigger targets.

    Have fun

    The great thing about vintage guns is they are nice to look at, hold their value as collectables and they can still shoot!

    I've often come away from one of these shoots with more guns than I turned up with and it's a great opportunity to see what others are using. Often collectors show off some very nice and interesting guns.

    Kind regards,

    John
