The final shoot of the sporting winter series  lived up to its title,  not fully wintery conditions, but for the third weekend on the bounce the Island was subjected to strong winds, and a little bit of rain. Those that turned out had a great layout to play with on the sporting course, with some excellent scores. 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 …

A Blowy, but unseasonably warm weather saw shooters turn out in force ( 63 out on the sporting layout). The wind however, proved a test that was more difficult than it first appeared. High Guns were Leon Clifton and Lee Pitman with , closely followed by an unprecedented 2nd place joint 4 guns on 80 – Steve Donson, Iain Hall, Pete Squires and Ollie Hughes. In the Handicap Competition, Lindsay Smith shot 109 –  45+64, followed by …

Great turnout for our last shoot of the year, with good weather and some great  scores too. The right to left crosser on Stand 1 caught some out, along with the close in Rabbit on Stand 7.

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. Today’s shoot was first of the winter series, and the temperature was fitting for the occasion, the bright sunshine a bonus. The big crosser on Stand 9 proved tricky for most, with the low crosser on Stand 10 and the right to left midi on Stand 6 caught a few out too. …

What a pleasant day at the club today after yesterday’s horrendous weather, which was so bad, that setting up the ground had to be called off until 7am this morning! The layout shot well, with no particular stand catching everyone out, but most found at least one tricky one. The new traps had their first outing today, and they worked brilliantly. Thanks to all that came today, and special thanks to those members who helped set up and pack away. Great shooting by Ben Morris 92  for the high gun of …

After all the rain we have had lately, the mild sunny day brought everyone out. The sporting layout was well received, with the rabbit and left to right crosser stand on the skeet layout tripping a few people up, and the high driven on Stand two proving tricky too.  The new traps were out on display, and will be in use next shoot.  Over on the trap layout, the ABT Club Championship became a close …
