Settle Down… Stand by… (Beep) “Ho**er” - start of the firing period called “Details” here at Bisley, UK. The Chain of Commands is quite different than in the USA. Also, don’t shoot after the Ho**er!
Day 1 of the smallbore rifle competition was very windy and tricky for me being on the 1:45PM detail at 100 yards. I held my own against the other competitors on my relay but I dropped several points due to the strong and ever-changing wind. It’s neat to be competing against the best-of-the-best from numerous countries!

Starting your shooting sports journey can be exciting – and intimidating if you don’t know where to start. Keep it simple and focus on the fundamentals, then start dabbling in specific challenges and disciplines.

Feelings of hesitation are not uncommon due to lack of confidence in firearm handling and proficiency around other people, not knowing exactly what to expect and other fears an individual may have in going to a gun range.

It’s perfectly natural for new target shooters to worry about what type of shooting is “best for them,” but there’s no need to get stuck thinking!

Read up, ask questions and – most importantly – get out there and try it.

You have the opportunity to learn what type of shooting you’re most comfortable with, what you enjoy, and what distances and ranges you have access to shoot at.

This article explains the most common and popular shooting disciplines and some tips to get you started:
