Calendar

Long Range Rifles & MLAGB 2026

A full calendar of events has been planned for 2026, and the following bookings for Bisley ranges have been submitted to the NRA. Rescheduling, postponement, or cancellation of dates may be necessary at short notice, so please review the status of events on a regular basis. Keep up to date with the National Shooting Centre, Bisley, via www.nra.org.uk

A PDF version of the calendar is available for download.

We have been unable to secure 1100 and 1200 yard bookings. This year the Metford Trophy will therefore be awarded for an aggregate match fired at 900 and 1000 yards (29 August).

Please pay particular attention to entry form closing dates. Non-compliance with this is likely to mean that there will be insufficient targets booked and as such late entries may not be accepted.
