Full-bore Service Rifle

Distinct from the Fullbore Target Rifle shooters in the Club, are those members who shoot the shorter distances of 100yds, 200yds and 300yds using mainly ex-military rifles. Especially popular is the No.4 version of the .303 Lee Enfield rifle, as well as the older S.M.L.E. and Long-Lee rifles.

Disciplines shot include Service Rifle A, Service Rifle B, Match Rifle and Free Rifle, and are shot on the Stickledown, Century and Short Siberia ranges at Bisley. Most of the bookings that St. Nicholas has at Bisley for Service Rifle shooting are for Saturday mornings, and usually includes a paid marker.

If you have not shot a full-bore rifle before, this is a good way to start.
