Sussex Interclub HFT 2017 - Round 2 Results

[biggles]

Hi Everyone

What a difference a day (ok, well, two weeks) makes.

After overnight rain, we were greeted at Ford Ranges by a completely blue sky and not a bluebell in sight. However, Richard and the Ford gang had ordered up some very Fordie breeze and it was delivered in spades; sometimes.

Some targets I gave a dot, wondering if that would be sufficient, and it took NOTHING. On the next target I’d try ½ to ¾ and it took nearly two. Doh! And again, and again.

This is undoubtedly reflected in today’s scores across the board. Not sure if 53 sets a new low top score, achieved magnificently by Andy and Kev. I am absolutely certain that only 4 results (out of 71) in the 50s and an average of just 40.4 are records we may not see again.

Put it this way, my stock of Clear Round Badges felt very safe in their bag at the end of today’s comp.

Here is the full set of results …..

After today’s pre-shoot rules briefing, a number of people fell foul of infringements. Some were disqualified for failing to check that their card had been signed by a Witness before handing in to the stats crew and at least one had points deducted for failing to get actual or apparent changes to their scores signed off by a Marshal while out on the course. I feel personal responsibility for one of these (Mystic Greg's DQ) as he's quite new to the game and neither of his shooting buddies (VG and myself) signed off his card . Just guessing that he'll seek other partners in future rounds.

Please let me know a.s.a.p. if you spot anything you think is amiss. Have I misspelt any of our newcomers names? Have I put you in the wrong class? Let me know if you spot anything wrong. BBS PM or email should do the trick.

Prize drawer winners today were:

• Lisa Bowell – the £35 cash prize,
• Anthony Leonard – the Air Arms goody bag

A significant shuffle for Teams today. Total team member scores and cumulative points won are :

Club	Round 2	Points
Meon Valley	239	23
Buxted	247	21
Oaks	231	21
Horsham	233	18
Maldon	110	17
Iden Fern	216	16
Ford	216	13
Swallows	204	12

Both MAD (with no one present) and Swallows FTC had to rely on assistance from our rule which allows up to 3 cards drawn at random – from those NOT in their own club’s team – for the shortfall of numbers.

Happy and safe shooting to you all ahead of round 3 of the 2017 SIHFT, which is in two weeks’ time on the 30^th May at Horsham.

Best wishes to those fearless souls heading in to the Welsh valleys next weekend for Round 1 of this year’s UKAHFT
