And Ford continue their onslaught too! We cooking bro', we cooking!
Hi everyone (yet again)
Hope you all enjoyed yourselves. Did our best to make the course different, interesting and not without some challenges – added to immensely by a wee bit of assistance from the first bit of breeze which has blessed the club for the whole of the past week.
Great shooting from most of our ‘usuals’, topped only by Colin; 59 in that wind is stunning and, I hope, made the bike ride worth the effort.
Six new names on the SIHFT entry list this late in the season bodes well for the Southern Hunters and SIHFT 2015. Keep on coming folks; you know you want to and you’re always welcome.
Here are today’s scores on the doors. Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you spot anything you think is amiss.

Prize drawer winners today were :
- Phil Moody – the £33 cash prize, and
- Mike Byfold – the Air Arms goody bag
Team scores today and cumulatively are :
Club Round 8 Total Oaks 285 2513 Buxted 266 2371 Horsham 272 2355 Swallows 258 2306 Ford 268 2244 Iden Fern 231 1965
Iden Fern were unable to field a full team today, so had 1 card drawn at random from the ‘hat’ to make up the shortfall. Score of the drawn card was 50.
Oaks continue their onslaught – with 5 individuals featuring in today’s top 10. Clearly strong in depth and breadth …. and I’m not just talking about Mikey (who actually failed to make a team place today – most unusual)
One more PLATINUM badge today – finally (after winning 4 golds in the 1st 4 |SIHFT rounds) awarded to yours truly. Well done Biggles
Happy and safe shooting to you all ahead of our final Round 10 at Buxted in three week’s (12 Oct) In the meantime, good shooting to those of you off to the UKAHFT at Cambridge and likewise those venturing west to Popham Woods for the Summer Sizzler.
