Who, what is the SRA?
The Scottish Rifle Association [SRA] was originally formed in 1886. The Scottish XX Club was formed in 1872 for the purpose of selecting a team to take part in the National Match, the annual International Match between teams of 20 shooters from Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales. The present Scottish Rifle Association was formed in 1970 by incorporating the former Scottish Rifle Association and the Scottish XX Club.
The SRA is the governing body in Scotland for full bore shooting and is responsible for selecting teams to represent Scotland for international competition in Target Rifle, 300 metres and F-Class shooting disciplines, including the Target Rifle events in the Commonwealth Games. The SRA Council is made up of elected office bearers and area representatives from the West of Scotland, East of Scotland, Tayside and Fife & Kinross and the Anglos and also representatives for Schools and Universities. The SRA has individual members and the regional clubs are affiliated to the Association. The SRA in turn is affiliated to the National Rifle Association and is a member of the Scottish Target Shooting Federation, recognised and supported by SportsScotland.
The SRA
promotes full bore shooting in Scotland and organises annual
events which include the Scottish Open Championships, Scottish Long
Range Championships and the inter-regional team championships for the
Pentagonal [Target Rifle] and Finlux [F-Class] Trophies. As well as
organising teams for the annual international events – the National,
MacKinnon and Lawrence Trophy Matches – the SRA organises overseas team
tours and in recent years has sent official teams as far afield as
South Africa, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Re-write of web site
To ease my task of maintaining this website I have rearranged the content and collected the styling into a common location. This is all good stuff and is W3, XHTML, CSS standards based. However some browsers, notably Microsoft's Internet Explorer, are not as standards compliant as they ought to be. Internet Explorer is getting better, but there are still people who have not upgraded to IE8. There is a whole cottage industry of hacks to get web pages to look the same in all browsers. I have neither the time nor patience to do that, and if the web page renders OK in Safari & Firefox, and is standards compliant I not going to loose sleep about it. Let me know if this causes you problems.
