Congratulations to Adam Longhurst for his overall win today, pipping Phil in supreme style when he knocked over all 3 targets in the Kneeling position shoot off.

Bad luck of the day, and sitting at the bottom of the list, had to go to poor ol' Vince, who's month old AA HFT500 'died' when the middle trigger sear broke. Great effort on the part of a host of SIHFT's finest hands who did their best to strip it and see if a repair was possible. It was, sadly, found to be very very broke; sear had snapped at the central pivot point. Better luck, Vince, in getting it sorted ahead of next Sunday's Southern Hunters round at Ford.

Good fortune did shine on several of you today, in the form of the draw for the prizes. Winners were:

Nigel Buchan - walking away with a big grin on his face and a brand spanking new AA S400 under his arm. Thank you Air Arms for your generous donation and all your support throughout this year's Sussex Interclub.

David Standing - £150 better off with this year's first cash prize
Aaron Friend and Phil Jacobs - each £75 richer, and
Phil Moody - winning the least cash prize (but still very well worth the day out) of £50

That's all from me for now, folks. As Charles announced, we will publish a full calendar for the 2016 SIHFT series early in the New Year - pretty much as soon as we've had confirmation from Sparky of next year's UKAHFT dates.

Little doubt we'll bump in to one-another at some of the Winter series comps, including the Southern Hunters, which will be keeping Charles on his toes for the next few months.

All the best
