The end of the winter series that has seen week after week of tough conditions,  including the  9th Feb, which was limiting us to a 50 target shoot, and leading to us not including it in the series. As ever though those that shot consistently across the now 5 shoots were rewarded with the top results.   Winter 19/20  High Gun  was Ollie Hughes (425),  with a tie for second between Lee Pitman and Daryl …

Daryl Wray was today’s high gun,  92, followed by Ollie Hughes,  87 and Daryl Langdon 86 In the …

Another great turnout today at the gun club. Thanks to all that came.  The bad weather held off long enough for most to finish without getting wet. The big crosser on Stand 4 proved to be one of the most testing targets  on the ground. Also, the looper on Stand 5 caught a few out, well done if you didn’t struggle!   High Gun today was Ben Morris with 92, followed in 2nd place by Daryl Langdon  and Mark Whillier both with 86 .  In the Handicap …

The weather created some challenging conditions at the club today.  Due to the high wind, Stand 2 was not quite what was set up, so it turned out to be very difficult. The Teal on Stand 1 wasn’t easy either. Other than that, the layout shot well. The Highgun was an excellent 81 ( given the conditions )  from Darren Wray who shot very well indeed, followed by  Iain Hall 79, and Steve Donson and Lee Pitman both with 78.  In the Handicap Competition, …

Wow, December already,  2019 has only a few weeks left to run, and we’ll be into 2020 !  Hope you’ve paid your subs.
