Great weekend at the Phoenix comp. in Bisley. I achieved 2 personal best scores in 1500 with score of 1430 GRSB and 1455 GRCF winning gold and silver medals in my classifications.

The best for me was the Sporting Rifle where I came second to another lad on the Irish squad. And only 1 point behind the winner and 2 points off the British record of 183.

Well done Clive, fantastic result from all the Irish Lads who went over there, and a great boost for all involved in Harbour House to have such highly ranked lads among us too. Will have to charge a €1 now to get a pic taken with ya and another one to get your autograph.

Very well done to all, and especially clive. That is a nice haul from someone, by his own words, has not been too long at the sport.


Could you do me a favour. Just give a quick run down of the events, calibers used, and type of shooting. I see the picture of you using the sticks, and never seen it before.

Thanks, and well done again.

You see me practicing for the 'Sporting Rifle' comp. open to any varmint or deer caliber bolt action rifle, shot over 100m, 200m, and 300m

Match 1
5 shots in 30sec @100m standing off sticks, shot twice
Wessex target with scoring center of 3x7 1/2" worth 5 points.
Match 2
10 shots in 12min @200 standing off sticks
3" v-bull worth 7 points
Match 3
10 shots in 12mins @300m prone
4" v-bull worth 7 points.

I dropped 1 in match 1, 6 in match 2, and 2 in match 3, giving a total of 181.

Other matches I shot were, advancing target, running target, barricade, falling plates, and Gallery Rifle small bore and centerfire 1500.

We are now starting training sessions at Harbour House in Gallery Rifle for the up-coming Irish International open to be held at Harbour House Shooting Club in July.

These are the best shooting competitions by far.
