Christmas Charity Shoot 10th Dec. 2023

A very good attendance at this annual event helped to raise a significant amount for local charities. The format is that each entrant pays a contribution to the charity fund and brings a prize. All of the prizes are displayed on a table and each entrant gets to choose a prize from the table, starting with the best score and so on. The committee then reviews the income and then decides which local organisations should be the beneficiaries.
The format varies from year to year. This year consisted of 10 shotgun shots at clay pidgeons and 15 Rifle shots at a novel target which is shown in the photos below, 5 shots are at the usual bulls eye target, 5 shots are at 5 individual bulls on the “clown” target and 5 shots are at the numbers grid. You get the number in the square you hit. If you hit a line dividing two numbers you get both and if you hit a corner between 4 numbers, you get all 4. Club Rifles and ammunition are used by all entrants to level the playing field with scopes held to 10X power, so it is very difficult to see the numbers grid clearly which also introduces a large element of luck.
We all enjoyed the 3 varieties of soup brought up to the range by Peter P (thank you Mrs.P!) and the mini Xmas cup cakes made by Ann G.
Thank you to all participants for your donations to the charities and to all of the committee and others who helped set up the targets and run the shoot.
