Club news and achievements
In October a number of SPOPRC members entered the winter CSR league at Bisley, shooting in practical and service optic class. This is one of the quickest growing areas of the sport and offers a unique opportunity to test shooters skills, standing, kneeling, sitting and moving from distances of 100m to 600m in rain or shine.
In June SPORPC members attended Sennybridge F range as guests and members of the FCSA and shot a variety of calibres from .223 to .50 BMG out to 1800.
In May SPORPC members attended Kingsbury ranges near Tamworth as guests and members of the FCSA. Members shot a variety of calibres from .223 to .338 Lapua magnum at 300 and 600 meters.
In April SPORPC members were invited to a Leek and Macclesfield shoot at the Thorpe gallery range at Ashborne. Members shot at 200, 300 and 500 yards.
In March SPORPC members attended North Wales Practical rifle competition in Bangor Tunnel ranges. The competition was tougher this year which was reflected in some of the scores. Either way the day was enjoyable and a big thank you to John, Ann, Sean and Phil who setup a wonderfully challenging competition.
SPOPRC came top of the 20 yard centrefire rifle league to take gold medal. The team comprised of Chris Cox, Chris Cooper and Nick George.
