Benelux Cup Rifle Shooting 2010

After many years, a Benelux Rifle Shooting Tournament was organised again. Thanks to our good relations with the Dutch CISM Team in general, and the efforts of Gérard Badenbroek (SHR-NED) in particular, we were able to compete on a 300m shooting range in HARSKAMP (Dutch military shooting camp). The camp provided lodging, catering and of course the shooting range. The range was equipped nicely as it should be: a shooting building, a Sius Ascor scoring system and a range for 20 targets at 300m with wind flags.
On Thursday the team matches were held. On Friday morning, the individual competition in Standard Rifle 3 Positions (or 50m Rifle 3 positions) took place. Some shooters had difficulties dealing with the windy conditions that morning. Nevertheless the wind, Adjt Provinciael managed to shoot a new personal record.
