Focus on The Invicta Shield
The Invicta Shield
The Invicta Shield was presented in 1984 by Mrs Freda Pedder, a member of the Invicta Club Rifle Club and well known Bisley meeting scorer and Croydon League Secretary.
The shield is awarded to the highest scoring home counties team of 4 ladies from a shooting squad of 5, usually in a 60 shot match ‘through the ranges’; being 20 shots each at 25 yards, 50 metres and 100 yards, although exceptionally the course of fire has been 40 shots at 50 metres where 25 yards is impractical. It is competed for on the same day as the Marks Shield and can be shot concurrently by competitors who are also in a Marks Shield squad, if they elect to do so.
The shoot is usually the Sunday before the last May bank holiday weekend and will be hosted by Hertfordshire at the Cheshunt Rifle and Pistol Club range in 2012.
The shield has been won by Surrey 24 times in its 28 year history.
