Civilian Shooting in 1902

Only one report from 1902 of the shooting activities of the Nottinghamshire Civilian Rifle Club has so far been found. It contains the usual list of competitors familiar from earlier reports. Comparing the scores with those seen in the volunteer reports, it would appear that either the conditions were difficult or the civilians were well behind the standard of the volunteers at this time.
