The Old Victorians' Rifle Association is headquartered at the
Rifle Range on College Field and is headed up by the Hon.
Secretary, David Le Quesne (OV).
The OVRA competes annually at Bisley, in the 'Angora Trophy' and
the 'Donegal Badge' which is shot concurrently with the 'JRA Island
Championship'. Additionally the OVRA competes in the 'Victoria
College Cup' which pits the shooting skills of Old Victorians
against current Victorians.
Small-bore match between the OVRC and the old enemy, Old
Elizabethans, was established in 2013. The cards are to be fired
before the end of April and, after marking, the result will be
announced at the Imperial at Bisley.
Any Old Victorians who would like to become members of the OVRA
should in the first instance contact the Old Victorian's shooting
representative, Alex Langley; alex.langley@gt-ci.com
After two weeks of tough competition during the Imperial Meeting
at Bisley, OV shooters returned home with some very creditable
performances. David Le Quesne finished 40th out of
809 in the Grand Aggregate and 3rd in the Monday
Aggregate. Daniel Richardson finished 11th and
Bruce Horwood 25th out of a starting 1000 entries in the
Queen's Prize Final. Elsewhere, the CI Championship was won
by David Le Quesne.
