Geoff, I believe it is although the posted records on the NRA website do not mention nationalities; a Malaysian won it a few years ago and there is no mention of his nationality on there.
If the "men in blazers" were still alive I suspect they might be choking over their G & T's that evening. Brandon seems to have gone down well amongst the natives although there have been a couple of pi55 taking messages going around, I sent one myself to a sick friend telling him who had won...no class whatsoever! wearing a baseball cap in the hallowed chair... etc etc If we cant laugh at ourselves in defeat who can we laugh at?

Mick, I had to chuckle over that one!
I do have some feelings in this regard, which I'll share on a PM! |

You could easily fabricate a concrete adapter, (for concrete, not of concrete) for you old rowlock stand. A bit of 2X2, or 2X4 depending on nationality with a center hole drilled & a an oval piece of wood such as I use for may ammo holders & add rubber feet for the deluxe version!  I think the "celluloid oil bottles" described are the clear(ish) yellow "plastic" ones? |

Excellent, thanks. Whats with the field-expedient "drapes" over the breech area? Anti-mirage or what.

Thanks for posting the video. Some excellent shooting!
That must take incredible concentration to win the Prize. It would be a dream just to hit the target at that distance on Bisley's hallowed ground!

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Chaz, both mirage and I think a wet weather cover for the breech? The loading port on modern target rifles is actually very small so I'm not entirely convinced about the weather aspect. The commentator remarked on fine weather; those of us behind the rope thought it was going to pee down at one point! When shooting a SR"b" match I always have an "old school" piece of toweling to cover the receiver opening on my No.4's.
