The autumn working weekend took place at the club this weekend. With lots of ground works under taken, with new pathway toppings, improvements to the 4 x 4 parking and the (re)waterproofing of the storage hut, along with mowing & rolling the ground. The huge pile of rubble needed for these improvements was initially …

The sporting layout was tricky, even without any rain to contend with. An unusually low High Gun showed how challenging some of the stands were. Well done to Rob Butcher today’s High Gun – 83, followed by Leon Clifton 80, and Steve Donson 80. A rare occurrence in the Handicap competition, saw a three way tie for …

The Summer Sporting Series concluded on the 26th Aug. Three unimaginably wet shoots for the last 3 was not at all representative of our summer, this did effect numbers, but rewarded those that made it to the shoots. Mark Coburn shot really well all series to win the High Gun prize, winning by 2 hits …

A difficult day, with both birds and weather being extremely wet & windy! That said, one trio said it was the most fun they’d had in ages, as their scores were nip & tuck all the way round. A massive thank you to all those that turned out in it today. Ollie Hughes found his …

A tricky day at the club today, with the wind and rain ( not as bad as forecast, or anything like as bad as 2 weeks ago) made for challenging conditions. In the sporting competition, Mark Whillier scored 83 to take the High Gun, followed by Mark Coburn on 81, and Lee Pitman back to some kind of form …

Awful conditions for today’s shoot. Unbelievably the one day of terrible weather falls on a shooting Sunday. It feels rather unfair for many sports across the Island to have had such rotten weather for a Sunday, after such a great run. Why did it have to come on a Sunday! A massive thanks to the …

Every year, the club hosts a charity shoot. We select the charity in the first few months of the year from member’s suggestions. The criteria being the charity must be Island based, or the funds raised must be benefit the Island, we like to choose charities that will be most impacted by the £800+ that …

Crikey, have we been lucky with the weather this summer? Another day of great conditions at the club. A challenging sporting layout created a joint high gun x 3 – with Lee Pitman, Ben Morris, and Rob Butcher jointly tied for 1st place with 89. In the Handicap competition, Len Bancroft, shot well for 50+60, 110 followed by Rob Butcher, 89+19, …

And so the great weather continues, a zone of high pressure sitting above the club, has made conditions record breaking for a few shoots on the trot. Admittedly today was perhaps a little on the hot side. Despite a few hungry horse flies, the layout was another great piece of work from the setters-up and …

A(nother) great day at the club, overcast meant the targets were clear to see, if on occasion a little wind effected – “birds may vary” was often heard. Some great targets to take on. Lee Pitman found the going particularly well, with an excellent 86, followed by Leon Clifton very close behind with 85, and Danny Saunders …
