Wandsworth Rifle Team
Gifford Grant is proud to once again sponsor the Wandsworth Full Bore Rifle Club teams. They will soon be competing in the 145th Imperial Meeting at the legendary Bisley Camp, against teams from around the world.
More recently they took part in the Surrey Astor Competition and the Civilian Cup. Competition was fierce in both matches – in the Civilian, they had a slight advantage over Old Epsomians after 300 yards, which was held at 600 yards to emerge as winners. In the Astor, they again took the lead at 300 yards over OE’s, which they extended slightly at 500 yards (the whole team scoring maximum scores!). At 600 yards, the wind was tricky to start with and their first man suffered a bit, so it was all very close. They dropped another couple of points, but OE’s last 4 went clean so our team was edged out into second place, with other teams quite a long way behind.
Outdoor, long range, rifle shooting is one of the most challenging sports there is, and calls for high precision and dedicated teamwork. These are qualities that Gifford Grant strives for.
The rifles: 7.62mm single shot target rifles, with 30" stainless steel barrels and precision aperture sights.
Distances: from 300 up to 1,000 yards
Weather: all weathers - shooting does not stop unless targets cannot be seen.
Corporate entertainment:
Gifford Grant's subsidiary, Shooting Services, organises corporate shooting days with the help of Wandsworth club members: these days have proved very popular with many Gifford Grant clients.
