She always has been a sort of "hands on" Monarch...

That rather reminds me of Queen Victoria's shot at Bisley waaaaaay back when. She apparently scored a bull or an inner at 1000 yards but I'd wager there were numerous 'sighting shots' carried out by expert marksmen beforehand, and with the rifle mounted on the same tripod!

I take it that is something you have heard/read about PR_Kit and not actualy remember happening at the time

answer is no -- she drove ambulances.  But she was already a good shot if aiming at deer on the home estate.

What happens on the range, stays on the range?

I wonder what calibre were the pencils of the day?

Hehehe, I know where you're coming from there! 

The rifle Queen Victoria used was a Whitworth 0.45 so it would need to have been a pretty big pencil! 

I dug into this event and it didn't take place at Bisley, it was at Wimbledon Common in 1860, and QV gave a £250 prize for the winner of the Championhips that year, thus starting the 'Queen's Prize' tradition still carried on to this day. The reports say she fired '....the first shot....' but as it was a bull and was fired from a weighted tripod of immense proportions I'll bet it was only the OFFICIAL 'First Shot'.
