The Long Range (50m & 100 yards) element of the Bedfordshire County Championships was held at the Bedford range on Sunday, 21st June; combined with the BSSA Grand Slam open shoot. The day was warm/hot and sunny with a light breeze that provided little relief.
Since the closure of the Thorn Range in 2016, the Short range element of the Championship has been shot on a ‘postal’ basis at the competitors’ home ranges in the month preceding the Long Range match.
