    Vintage Easter Shoot At Bisley

    An open invite to the usual suspects and any others who would like to shoot vintage airguns in the woods at Bisley.

    We are holding an Easter shoot on Sunday 8th April (Easter Sunday) with proceeds going to our club's chosen charity of St Dunstans (Blind Veterans UK). Entry fee is a suggested donation of £5 and by vintage, anything pre 1939 qualifies (that's pre 1939 air guns or rifles and not shooters!)

    Start time will be 10.00AM and these shoots are a great opportunity to use these old rifles for what they were intended for at a classic venue.

    Hope to see you there

    There was a few 'Bandits' there last night, having a cheeky practice, including some fat bloke who could not hit a thing

    Moi!
    I only hope my shooting improves from today in the garden. There was a robin sat on the fence shaking it's head.
    I know how it felt.
    I've decided to blame the old guns, not the old shooter. Again.

    Thanks to all again for a great day out, especially the yummy cake selection...

    I also saw the first ever advancing balloon shoot off today in my life

    It was a pleasure to shoot round with you both again Eddie. Jo told me later she was aiming under the balloons for every shot in the shoot off. At 50 odd yards, we could have been there all evening!!!

    Thanks to all attending for making the day the success it was and to Andy for organising a great day for us all.

    I never shot but I still managed to snaffle a slice of that chocolate and beetroot cake.
    Sounds odd but went down a treat.

    A Big Thank You

    Hi All
    Just to say a Big Thank You, we raised £145 for charity, will try and get the reactive targets all working for next time and a few more. A big thanks to all that contributed to the lunch.

    Thanks
    Drew

    Plus one on the thank you, a great day as always, and as usual I left blaming everything but myself for my poor results. More practice, that's the answer!
