Message from the President of
The Muzzle Loaders' Association of Great Britain

MLAGB

May I, on behalf of the Muzzle Loaders' Association of Great Britain, welcome you to our world famous ranges at Bisley, where we had the honour of holding both the first and second Long Range Championships in 1999 and 2000. I had the good fortune to compete in these events and so look forward with pleasurable anticipation to renewing some old friendships and making some new ones; sadly, this time as a spectator. For many amongst you this may be your first visit to Bisley and although I can assure you that we will do our utmost as hosts to ensure your every comfort I regret that we cannot control either the wind or the rain, so all I can do is to wish you fair weather, good shooting and -most of all- good companionship. And keep your eye on those wind-flags!

Peter Jacques
President, MLAGB


Message from the Secretary-General of
The Muzzle Loaders' Associations International Committee
MLAIC I would like to welcome all of you to the historic Bisley shooting ranges. True long-range rifle shooters will, I am certain, welcome this opportunity to shoot on the oldest and most famous long-range rifle facility in the world. I consider the Bisley ranges the birthplace of our long-range shooting sport; the sport we love today as much as did those shooters so many years ago. The MLAGB has the most experienced long-range staff I know of at the moment which assures us of the best run long-range championship to date.

We will, for the first time in the history of our MLAIC. Long-Range Championship program, be awarding medals in both original and replica categories. This will establish new records and set the stage for more intense competition in the future.

As always, all participants will renew old friendships and have a good time while competing at this prestigious location. Iwish good shooting to each of you!

Donald W. Malson
Secretary-General, MLAIC
