It was great! We didn't win, but we did ok and got several good individual placings.There's a great atmosphere at big competitions and scout camps and the NSARC is both the biggest shooting competition in the UK, and the second largest scout camp after the national jamboree so quite a special experience.
Evie was our top rifle marksman coming 14th in her class, and Matt and Ben were speedy at Biathlon coming 13th and 15th (and l came 10th in the senior class!). Chris was 17th in the the vintage rifle class and Ben came 24th in pistol from a huge class. Dan and George did well in biathlon too, coming middle of the field, and George was super speedy but then so out of breath he missed the standing shots - all good experience and leaves them well positioned for 'most improved' trophy next year...(their strategy all along!)
There were upwards of 700 shooters at the championship and most classes had large fields of contestants so well done everyone -especially Evie and Ben in the main rifle and pistol events.
The were 107 scout and explorer groups at Bisley, and Boreatton Troop came 18th for rifle and 23rd for pistol - hurrah!. Our next opportunity is the inter-county shoot in Spring... perhaps we can form the basis of a Shropshire squad?
