Only a few short weeks to go until the British Air Rifle Championships at Maldon & District Air Gun Club (M.A.D.) on Sunday 3rd July!

With a 40 target Field Target course set to BFTA rules and a 30 target HFT course set to UKAHFT rules, this unique competition will test shooters across both disciplines, with the overall winner being the shooter with the best combined percentage scores from both courses.

As in previous years, that renowned Mr Richard Woods will be applying his fiendish skills to ensure that both courses provide goodly measures of pain, anguish and maybe even enjoyment for all competitors; he doesn’t discriminate between FT and HFT shooters - he likes to see everyone suffer regardless of what their regular branch of air rifle shooting is. What we can guarantee you is an absolutely first class day’s shooting, and enjoyment by the bucketload.

We pride ourselves on handing out absolute top quality glass trophies to those who can meet the challenge of a unique competition in the world of air rifle target shooting - none of your cheap, tacky, tiny plastic cups or plaques at the B.A.R.C., we’ll have you know!

1st-3rd place trophies are up for grabs in both the Field Target and HFT categories, a very splendid one for the overall winner (who will also go away at the end of the day with enormous bragging rights), plus a special trophy will be up for grabs for the highest combined score across both courses using a recoiling or .22 rifle. And as if that wasn’t enough to tempt you, there’ll be a generous cash prize “Bonus Bunny” draw as well!

No need to book in advance - just come along on the day.

The fun starts at 10.00am, preceded by the all-important safety brief that every competitor must be present for.

On-site catering. £20.00 entry fee (£12 if you are a complete wimp and just wish to shoot one course)
