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 …

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 …

17th June Shoot
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 …

Sunday May 6th Scores
A wonderful bank holiday weekend, with sunshine, properly warm weather, and an excellent layout at the club today. If only we could have a summer like this. Like all good layouts most of the stands felt quite hittable, but the odd one slipped away here and there. It was a tough one however, with …

A cracking day at the club today, whilst others (40,000 of them) were wiggling their way around the London marathon course, the members we enjoying slightly cooler temperatures, but great conditions for shooting. The layout today was a belter, it shot very tough, but the target presentations were not impossible, once correctly understood they …
