Happy Christmas everyone!

It was a festive if freezing shoot at Shepreth this morning with a superb turnout given the impending gales and (brief) hailstorm. It was a Cambs rules course for our last shoot of the year, so no limits on kill sizes and distances, hence that really small one way out in the field. Actually hence *all* those really small ones everywhere.
With the biting wind howling through the trees you can see how challenging a course it was; not a single score in the 50’s in the open and in .22 we all failed to get to 40!
Top score of the day was Simon Jones with a superb 49 despite having to be pulled around the course on his mat as he’d put his back out, and special mention to Kyle with a cracking 46 in recoiling.
This was round 3 of the Phoenix challenge too, only this time Keith W had lent me his spare Mk.2 as I wasn’t sure about the power consistency in the Mk.1. It seemed to work anyway and I’ve managed to pull back one round so Keith’s now leading 2:1.

We hope you all enjoy your raffle prizes (the caravan looked like a storefront for Bargain Booze at the start), and look forward to seeing everyone in 2014.
