Bisley Imperial Meeting News 2015

Nottinghamshire County Teams

There were several new faces in the County Teams at Bisley this year and the successes of 2014 were not repeated. However the team did make a commendable tenth place in the County Short Senior Match and thirteenth in the County Long Match, and individual scores were generally impressive given that several had not experienced team shooting at this level before.

For details of scores click this link to County Team Scores, or go to the NRA Imperial Results for a full run down of the scores.

Nottinghamshire shooters also featured in the Families Team results with RSF and SD Shouler coming 9th.

Results of the Mackinnon and National Matches are on the NRA Imperial results 2015 page..

In the other major shoot of the Meeting, the St. George's Vase competition, four Notts shooters made it to the second round, but only two reached the final, SD Shouler and ITR Jobling from Langar RC leaving behind RSF Shouler (also Langar RC) and JT Kennedy (Nottingham City RC).
