Great day today, loved the new targets Thanks to Bruce & Andrea for putting this on for us
A fantastic turnout with 74 shooters today, so a real surprise given the appalling weather forecast at the beginning of the week. Fortunately the “thunderous showers with heavy rain” failed to materialise, though we did seem to bare witness to Shepreths' very own ode to Hurricane Katrina which made the course *interesting* .
And yes, I do use that word loosely. Sometimes the wind blew left, sometimes the wind blew right. But generally the wind blew. A lot.
Then, just in case you thought you’d sussed it… it would stop.
Some remarkable scores given the conditions; a big well done to all those who braved it out.
My thanks to Toby and young William for their company. Young Will came in with a very respectable 25 in between being a tree, an aeroplane, another tree, digging for gold, and amassing an impressive collection of twigs. He also managed to knock down target 8 which myself and Toby both plated. According to Will the target was “easy” and we just needed to “concentrate” more. As you can imagine the pressure this put on us for the remaining targets was immense.
Big thanks to Bruce & Andrea for their sterling work manning the catering van to keep everyone fed and watered.
See you all on the 25th for our UK round!

Superb day without the expected rain.
Welcome to Craig Hartop and his son, Douglas ... first time shooters at the club. It was a pleasure to take them round and explain what's what. In the event, Dad beat his son but I have a feeling it won't last ....
Hope to see both of you again.
Cheers, Phil
excelent set up once again, the wind was a pain. i dropped 3 points on the bottom wood then 14 on the top !!
looking forward to the nationals.
It was a great shoot, despite the wind, and I loved the aliens (even managed to knock them all down)!!!
Thanks to Tim and Bob for your company. Hope you have managed to sort your gun out now Bob.
Thanks, too, for my first medal from Cambridge!!!!
Looking forward to the Nationals.
Jean
M.A.D.
I see Jeff keeps knocking them down.
When you lose,don't lose the lesson
