Following advice from the Attorney General that Statutory Instruments giving effect to the firearms act amendments must apply to full sections of the Act and not to part sections, it is now the case that some of the planned roll out of the new firearms code will be delayed at least until the enactment of the Firearms Miscellaneous Bill which is due for publication on July 3rd under the Programme for Government. As a result, the intended classification of restricted firearms will not now be applied on May 1st 2008 as planned.
We
are delighted to announce this year’s Wilkinstown Open and Paddy Ashe
Cup, which are to be held in Wilkinstown Target Shooting Club’s range
on the weekend of the 31st of March and 1st of April 2007.
The formats for this year’s competitions are as follows:
Event One: Men’s Air Rifle Match.
This will be an Air Rifle 60 shot qualifying event.
Event Two: Women’s Air Rifle Match.

Event Three: Junior Air Rifle (Male and Female I.S.S.F. Juniors)
This
will be based on an Air Rifle 40 shot score. Juniors wishing to compete

the case of male junior shooters, the 40 shot score that will be used
