The day is run in conjunction with the RAF Target Rifle Club based at their attractive club house at Bisley. We shoot five disciplines, among the favourites are long range rifle, “cowboy” style pistol, and the moving target. The exact disciplines vary year to year. The day includes breakfast, lunch, tea and free bar in the evening.
There are team and individual prizes, including the Bakers’ Cup, and the Tim Bone Rose bowl for the individual highest score for Target Rifle. Rifle shooting is very much open to all, on an equal footing, and ladies and gentlemen compete equally. A fun day for all with a dedicated coach each.
The surplus generated is donated to RAF charities, part supporting a course for disadvantaged Air Cadets to improve life skills.
