The first match of the season was the ‘Asquith Cup,’ held at Bisley on Friday 31 March 2023. A testing enough match in good conditions, being fired with the military muzzle loading rifle at 600 & 800 yards, but the showery weather and brisk wind made it quite challenging! Sadly conditions deteriorated during the 800 yard shooting, with scope stands being blown over and heavy rain. Not all entrants were able to complete their detail.
Only a small number of Branch members competed in this match for military muzzle loading rifles. Some took opportunity to use the range time for training with muzzle loading match rifles.
