Welcome to the website for the Great Britain Match Rifle Team tour to Victoria, Australia, in October 2022. The website will chart our progress through training and the tour, culminating in the international match with Australia, The Woomera. We will post regular updates, and information on a range of topics, both here and on our Facebook page.

A huge thank you to all those who came and supported the event, from all the Volunteers who kindly gave up their time to come and coach beginners into the sport; Jon Binder-Swash, Ashley Abrahams, James Mehta, Trevor Williams, Graham Trimmer, Neil Francis, Silke Lohmann, Nick Tremlett, Peter Radcliffe, Steve Smoothy, Rob Bogie, Rosanne Furniss & Harriet Nuttall, to all those BYSA members too numerous to mention who turned out to help coach and instruct others, or who volunteered to work in the back – pot washing and cooking, and to our volunteer committee for their tireless efforts putting the weekend together. As always it is very much appreciated. ![]()

Our first #Woomera25 training session and blustery conditions provide the ideal training environment to practice aiming-off and mixing up the coaching a little. Top end of the bracket approaching double figures, even at “short range” of 1000yds!
