We will be hosting our next HFT shoot on Sunday 25th November. As its not light as early we will revert to winter hours, open the plinking range at 9 and get the shoot underway at 10 ish.
This shoot is open to all responsible shooters of UK limit air rifles and will generally conform to UKAHFT rules (with some minor variations to add interest). The safety brief will be at ten and we’ll get the shoot started straight after. You MUST be at the safety brief to shoot. Costs are £6 for members and £7 for guests.
Our course is located at Ultimate Events, based at Holmbush Farm, just off the A264 between Horsham and Crawley, address below:
Ultimate Events
Crawley Road
Faygate
West Sussex
RH12 4SE
Its well sign posted from the dual carriageway (A264) as Holmbush Farm World and Holmbush Paintball.
Once you get to the site follow the signposts to Ultimate Events, go past the paint ball area and you will come to a large car park. Be aware that this is an unpaved forest road and a bit rough in places (also watch out for the deer).
From the car park walk past the toilets, through Checkpoint Charlie and straight through the airsoft muster area. We are located a short way down the hill into the woods but look around for any other shooters and ask directions as it’s easy to get lost. Now that we’ve put a mew roof on the plinking range you can’t see it from the hill anymore. We check the car park regularly so we will find you if there's nobody around. There might be a few airsofters but they’re pretty easy to recognise and stay out of our way. If anybody wants to know more or needs directions then PM me or e mail to info@hrpcuk.com.
The 60-point challenge will also be running for this shoot. This is outside the normal shoot so you don't have to enter if you don't want to. The rules are simple, pay an extra £1 and it goes into the pot. The pot will then go to anybody who clears the course. If two or more people clear it on the day it will be split between them. Currently the pot starts at £121. If nobody wins it by the time it reaches £150 were going to cap it at that so it doesn't get silly and detract from the shooting.
We mix the course up every time so nobody (including HRPC members) gets the chance to learn it. We have more than 60 targets to choose from, most of which can be shot from more than one peg, and well more than 30 pegs. As the targets and pegs are chosen by whoever's setting the course on Sunday it changes every time. As I said it’s based on UKAFT (ranges and kills) but a few of our targets and pegs are deliberately set to add a twist. However, every target gets killed on the day and the course has been cleared once so it can be done. Depending on expected numbers it might be a full 30 peg course or it might be 15 shot twice, you’ll find out on the day.
If you want to enter let us know when you sign in. You have to be in it to win it.
Cheers
TERRY
