Revised Weekend Schedule
Great news for people unable to get away for both days or those wishing to shoot on a more informal day.
Due to several entrants being unable to attend the whole weekend, this years Spring RRC will revert back to the traditional one day RRC.
Sunday will now again consist of an individual zeroing & load development day. Targets will be available from 100 to 650 yards, all from a single firing point.
RRC Introduction
Saturdays RRC is limited to eight two-man teams. Entering as a pair or as part of a 'composed pair' on the day.
The course of fire will build upon the best elements of previous events; including some safari and more traditional fixed firing point stages. Considerable improvements have occurred at The Roundhouse over the past year and this weekend should compare well with its continental and US equivalents. It will certainly be challenging for all levels of precision rifle/tactical shooters and hopefully prove to be a very rewarding day for all involved.
RRC Timings
Registration will open at 07:30 on the Saturday.
The safety brief will begin promptly at 08:00.
Failure to attend the briefing will forfeit your place - no refunds will be given.
Final round Saturday 18.00.
There will be a covered barbecue provided to cook your own food, on Friday and Saturday evening. This is always a good social and a chance to catch up with shooters from across the UK.
Stage timings themselves will vary, from under 60 seconds to several minutes, replicating field conditions. To minimise downtime, everyone will be expected to alternate between shooting and safety supervising stages.
RRC Targets
Teams can expect to engage paper and reactive steel targets out to 1,100 yards. The majority of targets will be between 50 - 700 yards. Some stages will involve multiple firings points, often requiring multiple firing positions to complete the stage. Laser rangefinders will not be allowed on all stages…
Caliber Restrictions
Limited to 300 Win Mag or smaller < 3,200 fps.
RRC Round Count
No more than 150 per person - the best shots will require considerably less... All stages must be shot by both team members.
RRC Course
You can expect to travel on foot up to two miles, over exposed moorland terrain. You will have limited access to your vehicles during the day, carry what you will require and nothing more…
Entry Fee's
£200 per team (£100 individual) for the RRC only
£250 per team (£125 individual) for both days
£60 individual zeroing & load development day only
Accommodation
Basic bunkhouse accommodation is available at The Roundhouse for £10 p.p.p.n from Friday 12th onwards. Camping is possible at £5 p.p.p.n. There are also many excellent sporting hotels & b&b’s in the local area.

Additional Legal Information
The rifle you use on the day must be your own and be conditioned for field shooting - i.e fox, deer or AOLQ & for zeroing over ground you have permission on etc. No sharing of rifles. Please arrive with a zeroed rifle for the RRC. Equally only one rifle may be used throughout and you will be expected to know your drops (or have them easily to hand). FMJ and solid monolithic bullets are not permitted due to their increased ricochet potential. Other HPBT match bullets are ok to use, though frangible A-Max (& similar type) bullets are preferred. You must have your own valid shooting insurance and not be subject to a 'mentoring condition'. This will all be checked on the day. Permission to zero will be granted on a daily basis, just like paid stalking etc. and the ground is cleared for fullbore by D&C Constabulary.
It is not a competition as such, just a challenging set of realistic scenarios designed to test your ability to safely & humanely shoot in field conditions. The emphasis is on the shooter to be a safe shot and follow safe shooting practice, being responsible for every shot and every moment handling a firearm. Should the safe handling of your firearm fail to meet the standards explained in the morning safety brief, you will be politely asked to leave the event with no refund issued.
