Sussex Interclub HFT 2017 - Round 1 RESULTS

[biggles]

Hi All

Hope you enjoyed your first visit to Swallows FTC’s new home; in spite of the lack of a lake and water to shoot over, we certainly had good feedback from you. In place of wet stuff, we now have a few more trees available to ‘play’ with when course setting.

Great turnout today which, having checked the files right back to our first year in 2008, was a record entry of 96.

My apologies for the lack of wind – it seemed to be there and yet hardly moved a pellet all day. Certainly didn’t move my one on the long shot from the wood in to the field. Dammit!! This fact did not fluster our two ‘special’ people – those clearing the course; one of which dared to do so with a gun which goes boing. Well done to you both and I was delighted to issue a pair of our Clear Round badges.

Here is the full set of results ….. For any of you new to the SIHFT or have just forgotten, the column headed "Hscore" shows where extra points have been added to competitors in the Primary Class (age under 14). These only count where that 'bonus' brings the younger member into their club's Team position; it's not reflected in their recorded %age. A full set of the SIHFT rules are available via your club's 'captain' or me if you wish to have your own copy.

[pjacobs]

Very many thanks to the guys at Swallows for a great morning's shooting. What a lovely new ground! Well done to Gary and Tony for their clearances - some other great scores out there today! Thanks once again to all those who make these events such a success. It really is a fantastic competition; great fun and great company.

Yes, great fun, first time out for a while, loved it, beautiful woodland setting!!

UP THE OAKS!!

Were Buckshed there today??...

[Herp]

Thank you Swallows for a most enjoyable day's shooting. You have found a cracking new ground. Even the parking was civil, I'm sure the great leader (Captain Cut Throat) will have nothing but praise for its uniformity

Thanks to Maciek and Justin for the competition, it was good fun.

Congratulations to Anthony and Gary for their respective clearances. Clearing with a PCP is something special but to clear with a springer is out of this world! Stunning!

See you all at Ford.

Well done Gary and Tony for your clear rounds - especially Gary with his springer!

Thanks to Charles and John for your company, laughter and banter round the course.

A great start to the SIHFT series, may it continue in that way!!

Absolutely gutted I couldn't make this!
Sounds like you lot enjoyed yourselves!
Wes, 53?? Boom! And a team score!!!!

[Kritika]

Brilliant new venue guys, and more than a few happy faces with PB's today.

I think the "Swallows Bluebell Shoot" should always be the first date in the Sussex Interclub HFT calendar every year, what a lovely start to the series.

[Sasquatch]

A big thanks to all at Swallows for the course and the cooks.
Also Charles and team for scoring etc.
Great shoot great venue.

An absolute pleasure to have enjoyed the bluebells with you and you gave me hope that normal PCPs can still deliver.

Oh and a great laugh with our gentleman guider. How many gins?
