The Malta Rifle and Pistol Shooting Club which forms part of the Association of Maltese Arms Collectors and Shooters (AMACS) broke new ground when they held their fourth “Bullseye Pistol” match of 2009 at the AFM Qortin range in Gozo.

As always, this match followed the rules laid down by the National Rifle Association of the USA; rules which are followed by sports shooters worldwide.

Courses of fire were attempted at 15 and 25 metres in both rimfire (.22 lr calibre) and centrefire (9x19 mm and .38sp calibers) disciplines, using pistols and revolvers. In the rimfire category, Anthony Mifsud placed first with 255 points followed by Sintio Schembri (242 points) and Clive Chipperfield (203 points). Clive Brockdorff led in the centrefire category with 232 points closely followed by Anthony Mifsud (227 points) in second place and Sintio Schembri (202 points) in third place.

The Malta Rifle and Pistol Shooting Club (MRPSC) currently has over 550 members and is hard at work among its members in order to see standards improve further.
