Sussex Interclub HFT 2016 - Round 1 Results

[biggles]

Hi everyone

What a great start to the 2016 Sussex Interclub HFT series.

Big thanks to Ford HFT (Richard and the team) for setting out a course which would certainly have challenged – even without the strong easterly breeze.

Undoubtedly tricksy conditions for all except a very few, reflected in a strong turnout of 70 entries but with only 10 Gold badges won. Most of this has to be down to the exceptional score submitted by none other than Si, resplendent in his nearly Summer wear of trainers and shorts and allegedly sporting some sun cream. But even he was not totally confident as I’m sure I heard him say he was wearing two T-shirts. Whimp!

Here is the full set of results …..

Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you spot anything you think is amiss.

Prize drawer winners today were :

• Colin Medway – the £35 cash prize, and
• Lol Moore – the Air Arms goody bag

Team scores - now including (after a bit a very late 'negotiating') Maldon - today and points won are :

Club	Round 1	Points
Oaks	273	12
Meon Valley	269	11
Buxted	267	10
Horsham	254	9
Ford	246	8
Swallows	241	7
Maldon	223	6
Iden Fern	178	5

The above figures for both Maldon and Iden Fern reflect a shortfall in the number (5) required for a club team and both benefitted from the addition of some lucky-dip cards, up to a maximum of 3 cards as per the SIHFT rules.

That only leaves me to wish you all happy and safe shooting ahead of round 2 of the 2016 SIHFT, which is in three weeks’ time on the 1^st May at Mile Oak.

In the meantime, best of luck to the crew heading in to deepest darkest Wales for round one of this year’s UKAHFT at Quarry.

Thanks Ford for a really good course, some decent range traps and a tough little breeze

Gary Morrison and Matt Devil-Davis () it was a larf but you really need to practice your vaping skills !

Top Shooting Si

[Charles44]

Well done Si - top shooting!

[Enthusiast]

Thanks everyone for making it such a good start to the season. Delighted to have found a bit of form for once

Well done Si, phenomenal knees and shooting!

A few points on parking

Not bad for the start of the season, but a bit scrappy in places, I expect better for July

North is away from the sea, or the South if you prefer. The wind was Easterly today so North is 90 degrees away from that.

Disappointed that I had to remind a veteran of these events which way was North(C'mon Sossidge)

Well done Ford for organising the great sunny weather, still airs and of course the careful placing of your tin Chick'ins..
