On the 15th and 16th of March 2008, I went to National Rifle Association (NRA) in Bisley, Surrey, UK for a rifle shooting experience. It was a day and a half trip and it was my first trip with Cardiff University Rifle Club.
A little bit background - Since October 2007, I had join Cardiff Uni Rifle Club and I am an active member of the club. So far, I shot .22mm small bore rifle and my current average is 92%. I’m now trying to push myself to get an average of 94 this Spring. Just to get myself into the top 60 in this year Appleton Tournament on 26th April 2008.
First Day @ Bisley - I went to the 200 yards range to try all the WWI and WWII rifle available. Before each rifle being shot, Bob will give a brief history about the rifle. It was awesome. And the best part is after that. You can’t image how anxious and nervous to pull the trigger of a rifle with a live bullet. Right up next, you can feel the recoil effect - first hand! I’ve shot about 7 different rifles and my favourite is Schneider rifle. A long rifle which operates a bullet with the length of approximately 7 cm and I’m not amazed that it smacked by shoulder. Truly an experience! BANG!!! Read more »
