Following the last heats for team selection, the National leaderboards have now been updated and NASRPC has registered the official teams that will be competing in the British leg of the IGRF International series in Gallery Rifle 1500 on Monday May 30th at the Bisley shooting Grounds in Surrey, England.
NASRPC are entering both GRCF1500 and GRSB1500 teams.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish all those competing, from all countries, well and we look forward to good matches and a great performance from both Irish teams.
NASRPC has succeeded in securing a financial subsidy of €250 per person competing on the Irish teams.
Gunshop.ie has made a great donation of R50 match ammunition for those competing on the Irish teams.
NASRPC will provide a further subsidy of €50 for those competing on the GRCF1500 Irish team to help subsidise ammunition costs.
Unfortunately, not all of the selected team members could travel to Bisley to compete, so as per the rules, substitutes have been selected by the leaderboard, on merit, from those able to travel. NASRPC also, in the instance, relaxed the 12 week rule due to some people being unable to enter qualifying heats in exceptional circumstances. The teams are as follows:
Team Ireland : GRCF1500 : British leg, IGRF International Series
| Mike Nestor – Munster Target Sports Club |
| Pat Grimes – Munster Target Sports Club |
| Mike Kelly –Donegal Target Club & Bracken Projectile Club |
| Declan Byrne – Hilltop Shooting Club |
| Glenn Forde – Hilltop Shooting Club |
Team Ireland : GRSB1500 : British leg, IGRF International Series
| Mark Nolan – Harbour House Sports Club |
| Jimmy Byrne – Harbour House Sports Club |
| Ray Holohan – Harbour House Sports Club |
| Declan Byrne – Hilltop Shooting Club |
| Will Danaher – Harbour House Sports Club |
Competition can best be described as fierce for team slots, which can only be good for the teams which NASRPC will field in all legs of the International Series.
