each distance but not always, so you do need to know your sight settings. After each stage your target is shown with spotting discs so that you do get some feedback and can make adjustments as necessary before moving onto the next stage.
The 2011
NRA Imperial Meeting
There were no Historic Class entries in the Imperial Match
The Service Rifle Championship started in earnest on Thursday with four matches, the 100, 200 and 300 yard and the Urban Contact.
The 100 yard match is shot both standing and kneeling or squatting. A Figure 14 Window target makes five double exposures of three seconds with two seconds between exposures. The first shot on each exposure is shot from standing and the second from the kneeling or squatting position.
Particularly challenging in the Imperial Match was the Sitting Snaps at 400 yards that consisted of five, eight- second exposures of two Figure 11 targets requiring one round to be fired on each target. Unusual for CSR there was a distinct lack of ‘10, Wash’ scores, indicating a maximum possible score, recorded for the individual stages of this match, which was in many ways quite refreshing to see.
Results for this match were as follows:
Service Optic: 1st Nigel Greenway
310 points
2nd John Morgan-Hosey 309 points 3rd Steve Page 4th Steve Beard 5th Ian Dewey
Practical Optic: 1st Chris Vale
2nd Bill Ellis
3rd Dave Green 4th Roger Seaton 5th Nick St Aubyn
Iron Sights: 1st Bob Wightman
2nd Lyndon Collins 3rd Mick Kelly
301 points 295 points 279 points
378 points 378 points 349 points 336 points 330 points
228 points 133 points 115 points
The 200 Yard match requires twenty two rounds and is shot in two practices. Practice 1 is a snap shoot on a Figure 14 Window target from the prone position. Two sighting shots that are individually marked back are allowed. When all sighters are complete the practice commences with ten, three-second exposures of the target requiring one shot per exposure, the target will appear randomly over a six foot frontage.
Practice 2 is a rapid-fire practice shot from the sitting position. Two Figure 11 targets are exposed for forty seconds during which the competitor has to move from the ‘standing alert’ position to the sitting position and fire five shots on each target.
The 300 Yard match is a shot in three practices that includes harassing, snap and rapid-fire shooting at Figure 11 and Figure 12 targets. Practice 1 starts with two sighters followed by a sixty-second exposure to fire ten rounds on a Figure 12. Practice 2 is a rapid-fire stage on two Figure 11 targets shot from the prone position but starting in the ‘standing alert’. Ten rounds are fired with five on each target in forty seconds. Practice 3 is a snap-shoot similar to the 200 yard stage but shot on a Figure 12.
The very popular Urban Contact Match is shot on turning targets with the shooter advancing from 100 to 25 yards and comprises of snap and rapid-fire engagements from standing supported, kneeling supported, standing and kneeling or squatting positions.
