Hi Guys - The National Shooting Center at Bisley have the Gallery Rifle competition dates on their web site. If any member is interested in taking part in any of these competitions please contact Jill to discuss accommodation.
The Spring Action Weekend is being held on Saturday and Sunday the 24th and 25th March 2012. If you have never been to Bisley and entered the competitions this is a very good starting point as it isn't too busy.
If anyone is vaguely interested in visiting the Wanenmacher Arms Fair in Tulsa Oklahoma 2010, can you let me know?
I travelled out last year leaving on a Thursday and returning the following Monday. The plan is to spend 2 days at the Fair, a day at the John Davis Gun Museum which is the largest private (and free entry!) Gun Museum in the world leaving some time for visiting Outdoor World which is a huge 50,000 sq ft warehouse designed to ensnare shooters and anglers with every conceivable gadget a shooter might want at prices that would seem cheap to Oriental child workers!
Dear Shooting Friends
Please find below the Governemnts response to the E-Partition to use Bisley for the 2012 Games and the return of .22 Target Pistol
Shooting
The Olympic Board confirmed in October 2009 that the Royal Artillery Barracks at Woolwich will be the venue for staging the Olympic and Paralympic shooting events. The Olympic Board decision has also received the full support of the International Olympic Committee and the International Shooting Sports Federation.
Anyone who wants to shoot on a MOD range including Bisley this year will need a Range card. Martin Roberts as Club Chairman will issue these cards first come - first served. So see Martin ASAP.
THE NRA ARE TURNING CLUBS AWAY THIS YEAR BECAUSE MEMBERS HAVE NO RANGE CARDS

Hello all, long time no post...
I understand that people have become a bit frustrated at the recent problems with the website. I'm really sorry about this. I embarked on a major revision and have been so busy that I had been unable to find the time to finish it up - leaving it temporarily in a bit of a state. I hope that things are better now and once you've all updated your bookmarks and favourites to the right place - i.e. the old address of haverfordwestshootingclub.org.uk, you'll be able to make use of it once again.
Now all I need to do is find some time for a bit of shooting!
If you miss the good old magazines like Handgunner, Guns review, then check out the following two web sites
www.gunsmazine.com
www.americanhandgunner.com
Just like the good old days
Anyone interested in taking up Fullbore Target Rifle Shooting at distances greater than we can offer - 100 to 1200 yards could do worse than joining Bullet Lodge Rifle Club of which I am a member. For more details have a look at their new web site www.bulletlodge.co.uk or contact me for more info/ discussion.
There is a 10% discount on gunsafes at Gun Cabinets Direct at the moment if anyone needs more space. the web site is http://www.guncabinetsdirect.co.uk/ and you can get a further 2% off if you orderin the next 2 weeks. Just enter a coupon code GCD2. Still they look a bit expensive to me so shop around.

That's what you have to have once you get into this shooting malarkey! But no-one thought to mention that when I was signing up.
The trouble is, that once you get your first few guns, then suddenly browsing web sites that sell you shooting stuff change from a 'one day when I get my FAC'-experience into a 'pass the credit card, this stuff won't hang around for long...' one! And having placed your order, you wait. And wait.
And wait some more...
