Sussex Interclub HFT 2015 - Round 1 Results
Hi everyone
Well …. What can one say? The new 2015 SIHFT is under way and we have survived 1 round hosted – as brilliantly as ever – by the Mile Oak crew. The sun shone, there were little puffy white clouds in the sky, and the breeze blew sufficiently to do very nasty things to any of us (me – for sure) who failed to read it correctly.
Entry totalled 75 for our 2015 ‘starter’, which is well above the 2014 average. I’m sure that some of this growth is down to the encouragement given for a bunch of people from north of the border to join some of our clubs and others still attending as Visitors.
There were clearly a few issues with interpreting the new rules, with a couple of our younger competitors not having realised that we have now followed the UKAHFT and have Junior class as those age 14-16 while Primary class is for those age UNDER 14 (age calculated on today’s date and will not change during the season). This has been taken into account in the table you see below.
There were also rather a lot of you (nearly a 1/5th!!) who had failed to get one of your shooting partners to sign off your card as a witness. The place for this to be done is very clearly marked and needs doing before the card is handed in to our scorers. We have generously (Andy, take note) overlooked this for Round 1, but we will be enforcing the rule – which is not new this year – from Round 2. Cards missing the witness signature will be subject to disqualification, so please don’t disappoint yourself and check that it’s been requested – and done – before handing in your card.
In spite of the wind’s tricksy nature, some managed to ‘dope’ it, most notably little and large (shooting together – as usual – Hmmmmm) and Eric, after his lengthy break from the sport.
Here are the scores on the doors. Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you spot anything you think is amiss.

Subject to their arrival as promised (tomorrow!) the badges earned today will be available to you at Round 2. A list will be with the booking-in crew.
Prize drawer winners today were :
- Eric Bynum – the £38 cash prize, and
- Dave Pickett – the (new style and content) Air Arms goody bag
Team scores today and points won under our new scheme are :
Club Round 8 Points Oaks 272 12 Horsham 265 11 Buxted 258 10 Iden Fern 240 9 Swallows 226 8 Ford 223 7
All 6 clubs were able to field a full team (at least 5 members), which bodes well for the new SIHFT year.
Happy and safe shooting to you all ahead of Round 2 at Ford HFT on Sunday the 10th May. In the meantime, I expect a bunch of us will be present at Quarry next weekend for the 1st round of this year’s UKAHFT series.
