EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The National Rifle Association at Bisley" takes us back to the 19th century when shooting competitions were a prestigious affair. The image captures the intense atmosphere of the royal naval camp as participants from various nations gather for the Kolapore Cup. Intriguingly, we see military personnel engaged in a running deer competition, showcasing their exceptional marksmanship skills. The winners proudly stand alongside their Canadian pavilion, while public school boys and members of the Guernsey team observe with admiration. The crack shots take position at the butts under the watchful eyes of Lieutenant Ranken and Lieutenant Nix. Amongst them stands Sir Edmund Loder, a distinguished baronet from Sussex VB, adding an air of nobility to this grand event. Bisley serves as an ideal backdrop for this historic gathering where representatives from Great Britain and other European countries come together to celebrate their shared passion for shooting sports. This photograph beautifully encapsulates not only the competitive spirit but also highlights camaraderie among nations. Preserved in private collection, this remarkable image offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when shooting was both an art form and a testament to skillful precision. It is through such timeless photographs that we can appreciate our rich cultural heritage and understand how traditions have evolved over time.
