National Shooting Centre
The National Shooting Centre, commonly referred to as Bisley, is the UK's largest shooting sports complex, comprising several shooting ranges as well as the large Bisley Camp complex of accommodation, clubhouses and support services. The centre is located between the villages of Bisley (from which it takes it colloquial name) and Brookwood in Surrey. The site is wholly owned by the National Rifle Association (NRA). History The NRA Imperial Meeting (the Association's national championship) was first held on Wimbledon Common in 1860. In 1890, the village of Bisley became the location for the Imperial Meeting. The headquarters of the British NRA was also moved from Wimbledon to Bisley Camp at that time.

Harry Simon (sport Shooter)
Harry Eugene Simon (July 13, 1873 – June 8, 1932) was an American sport shooter who competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics, and won a silver medal. Simon was a lieutenant in the 6th Ohio Infantry in 1908 when the free rifle event for the London Olympics took place. The event was shot at three positions, a method rarely used in the United States, where it was only shot kneeling or prone. Thus, it was not anticipated that the U.S. would perform well in the event, but Simon performed exceptionally. He scored the highest in both the prone and kneeling positions of the competition, with his score being lowered to second only by his standing score. Surprising the Olympic competition, he won a silver medal in 300 metre free rifle event. He took 19th place in the individual free rifle competition, scoring 86 points out of a possible 100 at the distance of 1,000 yards. In 1912, he won the World Individual Championship Cup in shooting at Bayonne, Biarritz, France, while a member of t ...
