Malcolm Brain and Andy Meyers attended the National Meeting organised by the NSRA at Bisley from 10th – 18th August 2013 with considerable success for both shooters. Malcolm won the NSRA Eley Class A final by a clear 5 points and achieved joint top score in the X Class weekend aggregate (1,174/1,200) but unfortunately was placed second on count back! He achieved one first, one second & two third places in the constituent competitions.
Andy shot well in the weekend aggregate (fourth overall plus a third & fourth place) and the squadded aggregate during the week, finishing fifth out of more than 110 competitors. At his first attempt he was promoted to X Class. He was also selected as a reserve for the England Team in the Home Countries Internationals.
In the pairs, they were placed second over the weekend and fifth during the week. They were both selected for the County Sextette Team and Malcolm shot in the County 50M Team (which Sussex won).
There are approximately one hundred X Class shooters in the UK and East Grinstead Target Shooting Club now has two of their number.
