When will the matches return to the Northern Hemisphere?

Next one's scheduled for South Africa in 2023.

Last one held here in 2015, fired at Camp Perry after our Nationals. Here's a history dating from 2002. So it's been UK in 2003, Canada in 2007, Australia in 2011, USA in 2015, NZ just now.

So my guess'd be back to the UK in 2027?

I'd watch that one very carefully. There is a huge amount of political turmoil in South Africa, and it is likely to deteriorate very quickly.

I'd been of the same thinking as you in this until I read comments here in another thread about organized hunting activities in SA. So I'm keeping a weather eye for information about what's happening down there other than what I've seen in our Main Stream Media... which most of us here already take to have a 'leftward' spin in coverage.

Guys, the FCWC is scheduled for 2021 in South Africa, and the 2023 Palma matches also.
Stop waffling, start by attending this years SA National matches in Bloemfontein, to familiarize yourself with the range, conditions and South Africa in general, many of you pessimists might change your tune!! I bet many would want to stay here, once you've experienced the place.
