Scottish Classic Rifle Competitions

There is a range of competitions that cater for Classic Rifles in Scotland. The ones that I know about are listed below. I would be glad to list any that I have not included.

    The Aberdeen Wapinschaw. The Wapinschaw is held at the Black Dog Ranges near Aberdeen in May each year. Check out my Wapinschaw page for details.

   Cawdor Rifle Club Classic and Muzzle Loading Shoot.  Cawdor holds regular classics competitions. I will post any information about events as I get it.   Further details about the club's events can be obtained from the Club Secretary Craig Thomson on 01463 791416.

  The Princess Louise Trophy Open Meeting. The Bi-Centenary of Helensburgh was marked in 2002 in part with a Team competition between Army and civilian teams with the civilians representing the town's close connections with its local volunteer militias. The competition was held over the weekend of 13/14 July 2002. Several teams took part on the Saturday but, unfortunately bad weather (visibility) prevented any shooting on the Sunday. A description of the match conditions is given here .  

  Classic Long Range Day - Blair Atholl. Check my Long Range Day page from the home page.

  Speyside Classic Rifle Competition. This regular competition does not take place any more.

  The Scottish Historical Rifle Championships. Normally held at Castlelaw Ranges near Edinburgh in September the Championships puts on a wide range of shooting for Classic Rifles. The date and venue for the championships next year will be announced, hopefully, in the Spring.  Look for information on my SHRC page.
