Shepreth results 6/9/9 - Stoke Mandeville shoot

[jinx]

Well, what a weekend - 4 courses in 2 days, great weather and the longest shot on a side shoot I have ever seen. First of all, I want to thank the following people for the time and effort spent setting the courses and ensuring the weekend ran as smooth as it did:- Simon Potter, Matt Rawlings, Colin Sykes, Simon Jones, Chris Boulton and Wayne Pearce - all top blokes. The food was fantastic as always, Sarah and Sue did us proud over the weekend.

To start proceedings, we kicked off with a 15 shot fun course, not massively difficult but some awkward long reducers with a fair amount of wind gave us something to swear about.

The only way to have more fun on a HFT course, is to do it in the dark.

The wind got up nicely for this course, just enough to make think about the shots. Some very good scores carded for the conitions, with Big Jon and Simon Jones showing the rest how to do it. Well done to all the class winners and a couple of people who got PB's.

The side shoot was a long shot, about 90 yards and it was up on a high pole, so the windage was a nightmare - anything from 6 inches to 18. 3 people managed to knock it down once a piece, so they shared the pot getting a tenner each. We managed to raise a total of £516 in all, which will go of to Stoke Mandeville. Thankyou to all who attended the event and made it a great weekends shooting.
