German Open 2023

Scotland Gallery Rifle & Pistol Team Match Report

*Sponsors of the 2023 Scotland Gallery Rifle Squad*

Two members of the Scotland Gallery Rifle & Pistol Team travelled to the Leitmar Germany to compete in the Gallery Rifle & Pistol German Open from Friday 10th to Sunday 12th November. The competition consisted of individual events, team events and the IGRF International Matches. Jonny Cormie was also selected to shoot for the Gallery Rifle Centre Fire GB Team at this competition, results below.

Due to transportation of firearms and changes in regulations since leaving the EU we had to make a couple of changes to our logistics this year. In total we travelled approx. 2200 miles by car via the Channel Tunnel so fortunately we came home with some medals and stories to make it worthwhile.

The range facilities in Leitmar were fantastic with a 100m, 50m and two 25m indoor ranges, all kitted out with excellent air conditioning. The club even has its own bar, but we kept that for the end of the day!

Thanks again to Optics Warehouse for their sponsorship throughout 2023.
