RAF (Reserve Forces) Small Arms Association

[Huey]

Hi all,
The website for the RAF (Reserve Forces) Small Arms Association has shut down it seems in the last week or so. If any one here is in it I would like to know more, as I may qualify to join, as I am currently a cadet.

thanks

I'm assuming you are talking about the RAF Small Arms Association.

PM me and I'll put you in touch with the membership secretary.

I did meant the reserve forces one, for Auxiliaries, VR, VR(T), ATC and CCF. The site may be gone or closed for maintenance. I doubt I qualify for the regular RAFSAA.

I'm sure it's one and the same. RAFSAA exists for all areas of the RAF. Cooheed and I recently shot in CSAM 2008 and the competitors included a VR(T) Flight Lieutenant.

Concur with Monty. There is no seperate association for Reserve Forces, cadets and the like. RAFSAA is one........... no so big as it used to be......... family DT_Xtremez_30:

Ah thanks very much. DT_Xtremez_30:
What types of shooting are availible through this?
The majority of mine has been 25m .22LR, at levels from county upwards. I have also done gallery rifle, service rifle and fullbore to a lesser extent.

Thanks

There is the standard service shooting, L85 (rifle) and L9 (pistol). There are two competitions, Command Small Arms Meeting (CSAM) and RAF Small Arms Meeting (RAFSAM) held annually.

There is also target rifle run by the RAFTRC which uses 7.62mm target rifles at long range. You can also shoot the L98 in this type of shooting if you so wish. Matches are held most weekends during the season are open to serving/ex-serving as well as cadets and UAS.

There is also air rifle and air pistol shooting available on the NRA ranges at Bisley.

Hope ths helps.

Lots of misleading info going on here.
The RAF(RF)SAA is an ongoing shooting fraternity open to anyone who has served in the RAF in the past, Air training corps members. civilian instructors of ATC and Cadets. Also current and retired members of RAFVR/RAFVR(T)
It is a separate organisation but works in conjunction with RAFSAA. Runs its own shooting competitions and short and long range.
Contact for Secretary is raf-rf-saa@sky.com
How do I know, because I helped kick the association back into life in the early 1990s and am honoured to be the new organisation first Honourary Member
