Fascinating to come across this entry. I wonder if anyone knows the origin of the name. It looks as though there must have been a connection with the UK's National Rifle Association which began life in Wimbledon in 1859. It moved to Bisley after holding its last meeting in Wimbledon in 1889. Compared to many English town names, Wimbledon seems to be very rare in the U.S. which seems to make it even more likely that the name comes from the Wimbledon competition. Can anyone fill out the history in the article? Adrian Robson 11:58, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm assuming that modern gun legislation makes this sort of thing difficult to organize in the UK? Drutt 04:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
