2027 BOAG Entry Form - Air Rifle/Pistol

2027 BOAG - Air Rifle & Air Pistol

The British Open Air Gun Championships (BOAG) is a much-loved event and staple of the air gun calendar, providing a weekend of competition and a celebration of everything air gun!

Originally known as the British Air Weapons Championships, the first British Open Air Gun Championships (BOAG) was held on 19–20 October 1974 at the National Sports Centre for Wales in Cardiff. Built just three years earlier, the venue boasted state‑of‑the‑art facilities. At the time, NSRA Bisley and NSRA Aldersley did not yet exist, making Cardiff the ideal location for the inaugural event.

More than 50 years on, BOAG is still going strong. This fantastic weekend provides competitors with an excellent opportunity to test themselves against their peers and experience the air gun community at its very best.

The British Open Air Gun Championships for Air Rifle and Air Pistol comprise the British Championship alongside two NSRA competitions. While several additional competitions are shot concurrently, these three form the core of the event.

Changes for 2027

Training:

This year, two training sessions will be available on the afternoon of Thursday 18 February. Each session will last one hour and places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis through the online entry form.

·        Session 1: 13:00

·        Session 2: 14:30

Competitors must be entered into a BOAG competition to be eligible for free training. Those not entered into any BOAG competition will be charged £10.00 for participation.

British Championship Days:

To improve scheduling, all Air Pistol British Championship events, including both qualification and finals, will take place on Friday 19 February.

All Air Rifle British Championship events, including qualification and finals, will take place on Sunday 21 February.

Please note that in 2028, these days will be reversed, with Air Rifle taking place on Friday and Air Pistol on Sunday.

British Championship finals will be held for the following categories:

·        Senior Men

·        Senior Women

·        Junior Men

·        Junior Women

Aggregate:

Following competitor feedback received over recent years, Saturday 20 February will be primarily dedicated to Aggregate 2.

Although a limited number of Aggregate 2 details will be available on Friday and Sunday, Saturday will offer the majority of shooting opportunities. The online entry form specifies the number of available places for each detail. Competitors should ensure they select only one option when making their entry.

Disabled Prone:

Based on competitor feedback, an additional Disabled Prone shoot has been added on Friday. Disabled Prone events will therefore take place on both Friday and Saturday, with scores from both shoots combined to produce the aggregate result.

Competitors may now enter Disabled Prone only, without also entering the WSPS Air Rifle competition.

Those wishing to enter both WSPS Air Rifle and Disabled Prone can request a promotional code that will provide free entry to the Disabled Prone competition.

ISSF Rules:

BOAG 2027 will be conducted under the ISSF rules introduced in 2026.

Competitors whose equipment does not pass equipment control will still be permitted to compete in the NSRA competitions (Aggregate 1 and Aggregate 2). However, they will not be eligible to progress to a British Championship final.

125 Years Celebrations:

As part of the final celebrations marking 125 years of the NSRA, a Mixed Pairs Competition has been introduced.

The competition will be shot concurrently with the relevant British Championship event. Teams must consist of:

·        One Air Rifle competitor

·        One Air Pistol competitor

Both competitors must be members of the same club.

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact the Competitions Department via email at competitions@nsra.co.uk
