we all look forward to seeing<br />
links with the shooting industry<br />
develop over the coming years.<br />
Try to beat this guy in<br />
The Man v Man speed<br />
plates!<br />
me it is always a time that<br />
brings lots of fellow shooters<br />
together as they mass around<br />
tables and talk about the<br />
day’s events in the Pavilion<br />
canteen. (With much grub to<br />
be had I just happy that my wife<br />
cannot see the calories that I<br />
If you are looking for a<br />
challenge The Phoenix A & Multi<br />
<strong>Target</strong> matches will test you!<br />
The Phoenix weekend is a<br />
pilgrimage I would suggest<br />
to any and all shooters. By<br />
doing this you are<br />
supporting your colleagues<br />
who are shooting and the<br />
trade fair that encompasses<br />
sellers from around the<br />
It’s nice to meet up with many of our Irish & German<br />
friends at the Phoenix!<br />
tuck away at this place each<br />
year).<br />
The competitions themselves<br />
are varied …………… There<br />
is something for everyone,<br />
whatever your game is;<br />
precision, action, long range,<br />
short range, black powder,<br />
air rifle & pistol, centerfire,<br />
gallery rifle, rimfire. You name<br />
it and it is probably shot at<br />
the Phoenix in one form or<br />
another. The competitions are<br />
too numerous to list here, so<br />
it is worth visiting the NRA<br />
website to view these and get<br />
your entry in. As there are both<br />
team and individual matches, it<br />
may be that you want to bring<br />
some of your mates along with<br />
you. This year the whole event<br />
has some good sponsorship in<br />
the form of Midway UK. This<br />
level of sponsorship has got<br />
country. More than ever in this<br />
ever growing recession we<br />
need to support one another as<br />
buyers and sellers. I know I<br />
will enjoy the weekend yet<br />
again as I plan to go up in<br />
May on my annual visit. A few<br />
colleagues are going to pick<br />
up items they have ordered,<br />
a few that are looking for<br />
specific firearms with others<br />
looking at shooting and/ or<br />
supporting. What I end up<br />
taking away with me could<br />
be anyone’s guess, probably a<br />
few more mates and I know it<br />
will be enjoyable to have that<br />
hunt around the stalls.<br />
The UKBR22 and UKBRA also<br />
have a stall at the event - in<br />
the Pavilion so come and see<br />
us. As we are also promoting<br />
this magazine it would be a<br />
good chance to come and see<br />
us and have a chat about what<br />
you think - or is that too much<br />
