The shoot at Bisley was an unforgettable experience. Handling and firing the arms certainly brings you closer to the experience of the men involved on both sides of the conflict.
I very much enjoyed the Mauser!
I look forward to any future events.
Thank you to Rob for your organisation and to the gents who brought their vintage rifles to the range.
Indebted.

I am delighted to say I have permission to run another Boer War Open Day Shoot in 2023.

I'd be pleased to have suggestions about how to make the event even better. For example, should we have a display/exhibition? A talk on some aspect of the South African War? And what dates would be most suitable? Is a venue other than Bisley more convenient?
thanks!
Rob

Rob,

That is great news.

This year's event ticked all the boxes for me. I am not sure how it could be improved. I would be interested to learn more about the firearms themselves as that would give a greater appreciation of them. However, I realise that many attendees will already know that information so this is something I could do myself in advance.

Bisley is a historic location for such an event and has reasonable transport links.

With thanks
David
