Benelux Cup CISM Pistol Shooting 2010

From June 16th till the 18th, we joined the Dutch team at Arnhem (Lodging) / Nijmegen (Shooting Range) for the annual (since 2006) Benelux Pistol Competition. Unfortunately LUX could not participate because of National Festivities. Some of the best Dutch and Belgian shooters were still abroad on a training-mission or on a Ops-mission. So, this competition was an opportunity for other shooters to show what they are capable of.

On June 18th, another competition took place: the "Kol J.J. Cramer Revolver" competition. The best shooters of every Dutch Defense department were invited to shoot this Center Fire Match. Also this year, we were not strong enough to win the Trophy. We missed the first place with 3 points.

1CC Deruytter: 500 Pts (13th)

This three days competition was a good, intensive match training. In comparison to the Regional CISM competition in Pilsen, better results were shot. This was necessary. 1CC Deruytter did not so well, but she's still recovering from an elbow injury.

After the Benelux competition, we visited the Airborn Museum of Oosterbeek (Renkum near Arnhem): http://www.airbornemuseum.org/

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.

Initiation & Scouting 2010

From Tuesday May 18th, till Thursday the 20th of May, AOC Florennes was again, the host for this event. New Comers and others interested in sport shooting could witness and take part in our activities:
A presentation on CISM Shooting & on our pistol and rifle team by the team captain;
A technical explanation in pistol and rifle shooting by the coaches;
And of course, an initiation in sport shooting itself;

A total of 8 candidates presented themselves: 3 for pistol and 5 for rifle.
On Thursday, every candidate was to pass a test: a "Sport Pistol Match" for the pistol shooters, and a "3 Positions 50m Match" for the rifle shooters. The minimum for joining the team is 500/600 Pts. Just one candidate succeeded scoring more than 500 Pts. Cpl Jossart Oliver (RChA), a pistol shooter, totalized 520 Pts, 260 Pts in precision and 260 Pts in rapid fire.
Welcome to the team Oliver! For the others: Keep on practising.

At the same time, the annual “Challenge Cup Cdt Grangé” was held. The “Center Fire Match” was won by AJM Marique Jean-Luc, with 565 Pts (283 + 282 Pts). For the second place, a “shoot off” had to be shot between 1QC Michiels and 1CC Hooghe, since both scored 545 Pts in the regular Match. 1CC Hooghe won the “shoot off” with 47 Pts against 37 Pts for 1QC Michiels.

Ammo testing in Schönebeck (GER)

The annual testing of small calibre ammo took place on May 05th in Schönebeck, Germany. After a nice journey (+/-600 Km) for the biggest part on the "autobahn A2 ", we arrived at Burg, some 40 Km from Schönebeck. We stayed at the "Clausewitz cazerne" over night and went to the factory the following morning.

About 15 different lots of Center-X were tested in our weapons (pistol & rifles) in the testing facility. Two lots for pistol and three lots for rifle were selected, together 70.000 rounds.

Again this year, the shooters can be sure they have excellent ammo at their disposal: "Ten's and X's" should be normal.

R-CISM Shooting Championship in the Czech Republic

Plzen was, once again, the hosting city for this regional competition and this for the 20th time: A jubilee version, however with a uncertain future. As the town becomes bigger, more and more houses are being build nearer to the military shooting range of "DUKLA PILSEN". The new citizens, building in the rural surroundings of the military shooting range, can't bare the noise of guns. So, the shooting range has to reduce the noise. Big bore competitions, like our tournament, will no longer be possible, unless measures in noise reduction are realized. Therefore, the Czech Army decided not to organize this tournament in 2011 and study possible adaptations to the infrastructure, in order to fulfil to the civilian demands. This story sounds familiar to us. In Belgium, many shooting facilities have been closed down for the same reason. It's the world upside-down: people buy cheap grounds for building (because of the presence of a shooting range) and than complain about the noise. Although the shooting ranges were there first, they get what they want.

A few of our new shooters got the opportunity of shooting on an international level. They learned a lot.
We have to congratulate Bart for his performance in Standard Rifle. In his first international competition, he set a new personal record, twice in a row.
Another newbie, Patrick Haenebalcke, did well in his first tournament.
It's clear that, the road to high performances is still long for them, but they made the first step successfully.
