This was a “Double Dewar” competition which meant that there were twice as many shots as usual. 80 in all. More pain for the knees and elbows, especially for the older members. But pain is no barrier for the dedicated shooters amongst us. We had two full details for this competition, spread across the different […]
August Sporting Rifle Monthly Competition Sunny, blue skies with a slight breeze greeted this month’s competitors for our monthly Sporting Rifle Competition. It was a quiet day at the range with holiday season upon us but still five entrants shot across three different disciplines – Sporting Rifle (prone with sling), Field Sporting Rifle (prone […]
With the first six months of the year now a memory, our shooters launched into the second half of the competitive year with our monthly rifle competition. These are held on the first Sunday of the month and form a break from the usual solo shooting to offer the chance for some friendly rivalry. Prone […]
A lovely day for a Spring Shoot and a very busy day on the range. We started with the usual two Rifle shoots. The first being the Prone Rifle competitions of 50 and 100 metres in two categories, one rested and one unrested with sling. 20 shots at each distance. Results shown in the table […]

Most members of our club do not see the work that goes on to keep the club running so that they can arrive on a Sunday, enjoy the facilities and go home to a nice lunch or to watch the Rugby. That is how it should be. Most members do not want to know how […]
A safety Procedures and Firearms Handling course was run on the range today, starting at 9:00 a.m. so we had a later start than usual. It was a fine Autumn day, nippy to start with but warming up as the sun shone down. A mild but changeable breeze which caught some contestants out at 100 […]
