Roll up! Roll up! Free beer on Sunday June 12th!

[fastnick]

It’s fast approaching that time of year again folks, when Meon Valley Airgun Club play host to The Bowman Classic Open Shoot. As in previous years, Bowman Ales (a local real ale micro-brewery) are kindly putting up several gallons of their fine product as prizes on the day.

For those not familiar with the format of this competition, your entry fee of just £10 buys you 3 courses to shoot – a regular 30 shot HFT course, a 20 shot “tactical gamble” course where you decide whether to take the shot kneeling, standing or even pass with points being added and subtracted depending upon your success (or not!), and a 20 shot pistol HFT course. If you have a sub-6lbs/ft air pistol, you are every welcome to bring it along, but for those who don’t we have a selection of pistols available for you to borrow at no charge.

Beer and trophies will be awarded for the victors on each course, together with further prizes (and yet more beer!) for the overall winner on aggregate – and all this for just £10! Not even Hot Doris, a local lady of some repute renowned for her readily negotiable favours offers so much “bang for your buck” (so I am reliably informed, you understand)

The day’s proceedings kick off at 10.00AM, with signing on from about 8.30am-ish and the obligatory safety brief around 9.45am, and take place in our stunningly beautiful grounds at Hen Woods in the Meon Valley between Petersfield and Winchester (nearest postcode GU32 1HY or see our website for directions and further details)
