Picking up where the Autumn edition left off, the final Journal of 2012 covers all the events from the latter half of the competition season, from the Trafalgar and the Ages Match through to F Class and the Civilian Service Rifle winter league. In fact we've got our biggest event report section ever – no fewer than 15 pages, plus three pages of our dedicated results service. From Bodmin Moor to Blair Atholl, we get reports from all the shoots taking place round the country, big or small. And on the international front, we have the final word from the muzzle-loading world championships and the practical shotgun worlds, not to mention the NRA team's tour of the Channel Islands. Elsewhere, Tim Finley gives you the low-down on the propagation of .22LR target rifles, while new chief executive Andrew Mercer signs in and new head of membership and training Richard Blackmore tells members how the association will continue to grow and improve in 2013.
