Find our record scores from over the years.
Unfortunately, the WSRA’s records have not been continuously maintained. The current records are a best-effort based on review of available competition records in late 2025 and should be considered provisional until we have gathered further information. If you are aware of higher scores, please send any information to records(at)rifle.wales.
Enormous credit is due to Donald McIntosh’s archive of international results and to Neil Almond for compiling Dewar Match records from 1995-present, whichout which this task would be much more difficult.

Criteria
Record scores may be set at any reputable competition on paper or electronics, including but not limited to:
- Any representative match for British Shooting or the WTSF (e.g. Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games, CSF, CSF(ED), ISSF World Championships, ISSF World Cups, ESC Championships, European Games, Nordic Championships, World University Games)
- Any representative match for the NSRA where the team shoots together (e.g. Dewar, Randle, Drew pre-2020, Roberts, Pershing)
- Any representative match for the WSRA (e.g. Home Countries matches at major meetings, Inter-Regional)
- Domestic Championships (e.g. British 50M, Welsh 50M, ESSU 50M, STS 50M, IOM Easter Open, Gibraltar Open)
- Other well-regarded matches such as ISCH, the Torfaen Open or BFRC.
League or postal match scores are not accepted, excepting scores shot as part of an NSRA international postal team where the team shoots together (this excludes the Wakefield, and Drew match since 2020, which are shot on home ranges, not together on the same range. Scores achieved when the Drew team shot together are acceptable).
Single/Double Dewar scores must be shot as that course, with both distances completed on the same day. This excludes the Bisley Weekend Aggregate and it’s constituents, as the two distances are shot over different squads, potentially on different days. No part of the Grand Aggregate constitutes a Dewar course. As of 2025, the acceptable Dewar matches at Bisley are: the County Sextette; Home Countries International; First and Second stages of the Earl Roberts Championship. The only acceptable Double Dewar match at Bisley is the Roberts Final. Unsquadded competitions at Bisley or the Scottish Meeting are not accepted.
