After months of Covid pandemic restrictions, we were at last able to travel to Bisley for the Gallery Rifle and Pistol Championships.
Summer was kind to us and a weekend without rain was accompanied by some very warm, even hot afternoons.
Rifle competitions were shoulder to shoulder, whereas the handgun scores were taken from the individual events.
JSPC members present included Colin Oswald, Leslie Kong, Bill Vaughan, Bill Pow, Doug Green, Robert J Tonner, Robert L Tonner and Stuart Russell.
Our congratulations to all the Scotland Squad members who also travelled and competed, with special mention to Jonny Cormie and Robert L Tonner for their individual performances resulting in fantastic aggregate trophies. (See list below)

The Prize List shows the results of a fantastic weekend of shooting which attracted 199 competitors and I believe that over 2000 events were completed.
