Bisley Steel Buffalo

Bisley Buffalo

We are all used to seeing deer roaming across Stickledown, but none of us had seen a Buffalo ....until now , that is !

Thanks to a conversation Phil Morgan had with Andrew Mercer, NRA Chief Executive & Sec General earlier this year, and the wholehearted support Andrew Mercer gave to this project, the Steel Buffalo became a reality on 10th August 2015.

Since Phil passed the artwork to Andrew Mercer back in May, the Buffalo project moved ahead with astonishing speed, given that it first saw light as an idea by Phil Morgan and Clive Taylor about ten years ago. Our thanks must also go out to the NRA Team that did the Technical and Range work to give us Target 51 on Stickledown and brought steel targets back to Bisley.

The Steel Buffalo is now available for hire and the Club will certainly be making regular bookings on it. Judging by comments on the NRA's FaceBook it looks like proving to be a popular and lucrative target.

Going Live info

The new look website went live on Thursday 13th February 2014

A revamp was needed to bring the Site up to date so that it could be viewed on Ipads, tablets and if your eyesight is good enough, smart phones too! During the revamp the opportunity was taken to bring parts of the content up to date as well. Working on the rule that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, the feel of the old site (brain child of Clive Taylor) has been retained with titles of different pages remaining the same, which should make navigating around the website easier.

To allow the new website to go live as soon as possible, at present only Results and Rogues Gallery for 2013 have been fully published. Earlier years' Archive pages will be uploaded as and when they have been moved across.
