The Malta Rifle and Pistol Shooting Club's sixth Conventional Pistol event of the 2009 season was held earlier this month.

As usual, the competition attracted a healthy turnout and the participants recorded some good results.

This match followed the rules of the National Rifle Association of the USA with which the MRPSC is affiliated and whose rules are followed by shooting sportsmen worldwide.

Shooting distances were from 15 and 25 metres in the centrefire (9x19mm or .38 special caliber) discipline, using both pistols and revolvers.

Top end results were as follows: 1. Anthony Mifsud 247 points; 2. Clive Brockdorff 221; 3. John Vincenti 200; 4. Philip Grech 198.

The Malta Rifle and Pistol Shooting Club (MRPSC) currently has over 500 members and forms part of the Association of Maltese Arms Collectors and Shooters (AMACS).

The Association is authorised to prepare prospective target shooters to apply for a licence which will enable them to practise this fast-growing sport.
