Hi everyone
BIG thanks to the crew at Horsham, who had clearly put in a lot of effort to find new lanes for us to throw a pellet at a target.
What a MONSTER turnout – 82 entries in total and rarely beaten in SIHFT history. Much of that down to a significant number of visitors from, well, all over the place. This included a big contingent from Meon Valley with no fewer than 16 (!!), plus MAD (3), Cambridge (1), Wendover (4) and Springfield (1) and resulted in a somewhat richer than usual bonus bunny ‘pot’. Lots and lots of you to have fun in Horsham Hawks woodland, and to weep in the field – it sure made me cry, after dropping just two from pegs 11 to 30 I then plated pegs 1 to 4 inclusive, only slightly made up for by knocking over the free stander. Hey ho … that’s shootin for you.
Exceptional result for Chilly (58) Bad day in the office for Rudy (58) How very dare they
And here, along with the rest of us, they are …..

The above table reflects correction to one error I spotted while compiling this report. Dave Standing (Swallows FTC) shot in Recoiling Class but was initially down as Open. This means he should have been granted a Silver rather than Bronze badge. Please remind me to swap colours for you, Dave, and well done.
Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you spot anything else you think is amiss.
Prize drawer winners today were :
- Nick Byrne – the £41 cash prize, and
- I Can’t Remember Who – the Air Arms goody bag
Team scores today and points won under our new scheme are :
Club Round 4 Total Points Oaks 274 47 Horsham 265 43 Buxted 275 42 Swallows 245 35 Ford 238 30 Iden Fern 138 31
Iden Fern no showed again and had 3 cards drawn to avoid a zero in the above results.
Happy and safe shooting to you all ahead of Round 5 at Buxted in 2 weeks’ time on Sunday 5th July. In the meantime, go get-em Sussex/Oakies at the UKAHFT round at Rivington next weekend.
