American Challenge

In 2011 we will see the largest event in Rifle Shooting in Ireland for years. It all comes from a challenge laid down by the president of the National Rifle Association of America, Mr. John Sigler, to the Chairman of the National Rifle Association of Ireland, Mr. Noel Kelly, to revive the Creedmore Cup Match which was shot at Dollymount Strand Dublin on the 29th June 1875 with an audience of between forty and fifty thousand people.

While we are not expecting the same volume of people, nevertheless the interest and excitement will be the same. For us at the Midlands National Shooting Centre of Ireland our challenge will be in the organising and running a match of this importance.

The first big step in achieving this is the granting of approval to run a pilot cartridge reloading scheme. This for the first time will provide an opportunity for our Target Shooters to compete with precision-made ammunition. The M.N.S.C.I. would like to thank the staff of the Explosives Inspectorate of the Department of Justice, Equality & Law Reform, the Garda Crime Prevention Officer and the Offaly County Fire Service for their help, advice and cooperation. We look forward to meeting all our International friends for this event and are proud to be given this opportunity to further the sport of target shooting in Ireland.
