Trafalgar Meeting

Saturday 16th - Sunday 17th October 2021

This Meeting is full of character, with competitors seen entering into the spirit of the event and some wearing appropriate clothing for the firearms used at the time

The firearms being used attract attention especially when, what is basically a museum piece, can be seen in full operational glory. This offers the pleasurable opportunity to use, view and handle historical, classic and vintage arms.  Museums and private collectors do preserve our heritage firearms, however practical use by shooters with knowledge of these guns adds another dimension. These firearms being shot across the ranges is a reminder of the history of their development, from flint muzzle-loader or matchlock, to breech-loading nitro cartridge firearms

Arms Fair: It is with regret that we have taken the decision not to host an Arms Fair at the 2021 Trafalgar Meeting. COVID would be an easy excuse but is not the whole reason for the cancellation. Our Bisley ranges are very busy, NRA membership is growing, and the number of entries to competitions are pleasing. However our focus in 2021 is recovery after surviving last year, which has meant operating with very modest numbers of staff. We do not currently have the resources to deliver an Arms Fair to the standard that exhibitors and visitors expect
