Hoping to make this one, not been here before.

The ad in the event section reads very familiar, Vicky:rolleyes:

[vicanator]

I may have borrowed a line or two ;)
It would be great if you could make it, it's shaping up to be a great day out!

I wish that I wasn't working on the day of this as I want to support the relaunch of air gun competition at Broomhills.

I visited them in the mid 1980s but it wasn't untill I got my first pcp about 4 years ago that I started to go again, on and off.
I joined Lea Valley and my current club Shepreth because there was no HFT competition at Broomhills.

I will be involved with these HFT comps at Broomhills when work commitments allow, and any comps will be scheduled to that they don't clash with local clubs and national shoots where possible.
By the way Mark, we will still be Shepreth members and come along as often as usual:)

One advantage of Broomhills is that its open 7 days a week, so I might start to practise, I don't at the moment and my shooting suffers because of that :(

Not going to be able to make this one:( Hope it all goes well and will hopefully see you at the next one.

Course is set, roughly to UK spec, not tooo many long ones or short ones, but a few tricky ones to sort out the top shots;)

Should be hot so don't forget a hat or some sun cream:)

See you tomorrow at 1:30 for a 2:30 start, approx

Cheers

Had a great day here today, fantastic location and everyone was made to feel very welcome. The course, set mainly in the woods, was not the hardest i have shot but a for a first time of setting one, John and Vicky certainly did a grand job.
A big well done to all the people at Broomhills, i am sure there will be many return visits:D.

Thoroughly enjoyable day and a big well done to all the Broomhills crew. Excellent first HFT event :)

Will be over there again in the not too distant future for definite ! Thanks to Vicky and John for the course and everyone else that made todays event happen...

Regards

Thanks for the kind words Mark and Tony:cool: a few lessons learned and next time will be a little harder with some more variety in the shots;)
Lots of new shooters introduced to HFT and several went away with prizes ans awards.

Results will be up later today when Vicky has recovered:rolleyes:

Thanks to everyone who attended, it made all the hard work worthwhile.

Cheers

For a first time shoot 'well done'.
Had some of the aspects of the early days at Markyate,I gave myself a few moments to think back to the 80's and the shooters who grew up there and became well known names;a very friendly and good atmosphere, some shooters on their first competition learning as they went,as they did in the early days.
Course not too tricky,but had a sting in its tail if you let your concentration wander.:rolleyes:
More use of the light conditions in the woods could make future course layouts heartbreakers.:D. Looking forward to future events.
Compliments to all involved on setting up this first 'Markyate' shoot,and the interest in setting Hft up at Markyate by the owners.
Markyate definately has a potential as a first class club and a bright future.
