Ross rifle shoot - 1913 Bisley Commemorative - Calgary, Alberta: July 6 & 7

[RangeRover]

To commemorate William “Bill” Hawkins taking of the Kings Prize at Bisley in 1913, using a Ross rifle, and the success of the Ross in Bisley shooting competitions overall, a Ross-focused target event is scheduled to take place west of Calgary in early July this year.

This two-day event will take place July 6 and 7, 2013 on the Alberta Fullbore Rifle Association (AFRA) – 900-metre range at the Alberta Provincial Rifle Association (APRA) – Homestead Shooting Facility, located in the foothills of the Rockies, 45 minutes west of Calgary.

We’ll have a chance to try our Ross rifles out at 100, 200 and 400 metres on scored targets and, for fun, on the Saturday we’ll see what we can do out a bit further. Of course, lots of opportunity to talk Ross rifles through the weekend.

Registration will be limited to 36 shooters so pre-registration is required. While the event is focused on celebrating the Ross Rifle in all its forms, and it would be great to fill it up with nothing but Ross rifles, the event will be open to other battle rifles.

Further event details and registration/payment information can be found at: http://www.btsa.ca/matches/?page_id=4 (slide down the list of events on the page to the listing for the “Ross Rifle Shoot and Battle Rifle Event”).

For those from away, those dates coincide with the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede in case you wanted to come see those sights as well.
