I certainly am!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

We (South London Rifle Club and the Surrey Branch of the MLAGB) have included this sort of firearm in our OPEN MEETINGS FOR REPEATING PISTOLS at Bisley.
The next one (SLRC) is the middle weekend of the Imperial Meeting (alongside NRA ML and GR matches) - 15th & 16th JULY -- and scorecards are £5.
Classes for STANDARD PERCUSSION REVOLVER (i.e., El Cheapos + originals) one and two-handed , PERCUSSION TARGET REVOLVER (i.e., "Standard" + the costly specials + Rugers) one-handed only; FREE PERCUSSION (more or less anything except using laser sights!) and then MODERN MUZZLE-LOADER -- with sub-classes for "Patriot", nitro conversions of percussion revolvers and the "Alfa" etc. -- again, one and two-handed matches.


the muzzle loading looks interesting would you need more than one loaded cylinder ?

Courses of fire are all 20 shots (4 x 5) plus optional sighters:-
SLOWFIRE -- 3 minutes / series; TIMEDFIRE -- 1 munute/series; RAPIDFIRE -- 30s/series;
"BOBBER" (turning targets -- 5s faced, 10s edged) and "SURRENDEN" (against the clock).

Details etc from slrc (at) jimhallam (dot) eu

The Surrey Branch MLAGB Meeting is 10th September -- same format ---

Last date for EARLY ENTRY DISCOUNT is 25th June.
£2 off each scorecard. .. also reduction in Registration Fee (which includes 1 entry) and a £2 discount if you are a member of South London RC, MLAGB or NRA.

Entries accepted "on the day" but we only have one bay on Melville so it might get full.

See Surrey Branch MLAGB website to download info.

So far more than 120 match-cards booked. Looks like we will be busy, but we can squeeze in a few more -- - and hopefully we may be allowed to overflow into Bay "D" is the entries for the NRA Courses / Matches for that weekend are not well supported.
