Asquith Cup, 2016

The Branch competition season commenced on 8 April at Bisley. Not an easy start this one – the Asquith Cup is for Enfield rifles and comprises an aggregate of 15 shots at each distance, 600 and 800 yards.

It is likely the most challenging of all competitions for this class of rifle. It also enables opportunity to assess the accuracy potential of the muzzle loading Enfield rifle under the ‘controlled conditions’ of a shooting range, as opposed to the chaos of a battlefield.
