Dear Clerks \ Captains \ Fellow Liverymen \ Freeman,
We are delighted that the 2026 competition will take place at the West London Shooting School on Wednesday 13th & Thursday 14th May.
Draw:
The Draw has been done and is attached \ on our web page - www.interliveryshoot.com
2026 Entries & Cost:
Firstly to say that we are faced with increases in our costs – as is everyone – in particular with food, cartridges and the NI changes.
The Budget is on the 26th November and Chris and I along with Roddy Richmond – Watson at WLSS have decided to hold off the 2026 Team Cost until we see the what that will bring us.
As ever – the day is about Liveryman and Freeman from all Company’s meeting in a shooting environment for the joy of being there – but also to raise monies for a large range of Charities. The purpose is to make the day as cost effective as possible to get the highest number of guns.
The Application Form will be available from Monday 1st December on the Web Page with the associated Team Cost.
News:
The 2026 event will see Julian Watson and Billy Rimmel challanged to change the stands to reflect a new course that’s fun for all abilities to shoot. But this event does require some previous shooting and gun safety experience – please avaoid bringing Novice Guns as we cannot give instruction on the day.
Main Prizes \ Cups will continue to be forwarded to the Livery Company’s after the event and the monies won sent to the Charities of the winners choice.
But to make the day rather more fun for those actually there, we have increased the number of “on the day” prizes with some fun idea’s for those further down the results page.
The Top \ Bottom Flush Teams each day will continue to receive Magnums \ Bottles of Champagne.
The Freeman:
We are working hard to encourage Freeman of all Livery Company’s to join this event – hence the NEW catagorisation for Freeman to be part of a Livery Team OR be a Team on their own and have the opportunity to be their own Top Gun.
Please ensure that the Freeman boxes are ticked on the Application Form.

Again hugely encouraged to join this event – either as a Team or Individual. Again please ensure you tick the right boxes.
