    Xmas special combo

    Ok chaps and Chapesses, its getting close to Xmas so we need names in the hat for some lucky young shooter to get a rifle combo(normally supplied using donations from BBS members).

    Stipulations.

    Must be 15 or under(male or female, obviously)

    Must be a member of a club.

    Needs a rifle.

    Doesn't have a father with half a dozen rifles.

    Names so far...

    1. Dan attfield age 11
    2. Bradley Pughe age 12
    3. Emma Sams age 5 (ahhh)
    4. Lewis Mallinson age 9
    5. Edward Shaw age 11
    6. Edward Leakey age 15
    7. John Rhinds age 12



    Members of the BBS are requested to put forward the names with a short reason why they think this particular person should get the combo(on the thread please,not by PM). nothing too big or dramatic. Please add the full name, age and club and post on this thread so that we can keep it all open and fair.

    When we have the names i will give them a number each and use the lottery draw on SAT 18th December to decide. Please feel free to post if you want to nominate someone.

    If a drawn lottery ball matches the number against your name then you win.
    If there is more than one match then its the earliest ball out that wins
    If no-one exactly matches a number drawn then its who ever is the closest and again if we have more than one person who is say one number away, then it's the earliest ball out that wins.

    This rifle is very , very special. It has been donated by a single BBS member that, i suspect, would prefer to stay anonymous.....Ok Ray from Rivington, not a problem

    S200 No 003171
    Paul Wilson stock (Walnut).
    Action reblued (DM80).
    DM80 silencer and end cap
    Scope will be different to the one in the picture
    St sling studs.
    Power @ 11.3 (Exacts)

    Hi Daz...although it sounds as if your god son is a prime candidiate, i'm afraid he must be a member of a club to qualify. Sorry mate

    Fella I don't want to sound negative but if you look at the photo this gun is set in a very nice thumbhole custom RIGHT hand stock.

    Maybe Chris would put it you in a ambi stock but just pointing out that the unit as is is righthanded.

    I think this is a really good and very generous idea.
    I would Like to nominate my son Edward Shaw age 11.
    He has been very keen on shooting for a few years, but with little oppertunity to actually shoot, he is really into the out doors and enjoys fishing and camping. We are joining Tawd Vale Club with a family membership on Sunday, having been on a taster there, and found them very helpful, friendly and safe.
    He has had a difficult time over the last 12 months but coped very well, I feel his hobbies and interest have kept him going.
    Thanks

    i'd love to nominate my step son Edward Leakey 15 we've just joined our local club (woodland valley HFT club) near truro in cornwall. he is using my old gamo shadow which is awfull! one of the reasons i'de like to nominate him for this...he thinks the gamo is brilliant bless him and he's allways talking about how good this bit is or that bit... i dont want to tell him how bad the trigger is! and how its just too light for a springer. he just does his best with it. he loves my tx200 but it is just way to heavy for him but when he does get a chance to use it from a bench at the club his eyes light up and he's a really good little shot, trouble is shooting my tx is showing all the gamo's flaws. he deserves a much better rifle. but we cant afford it at the moment. he is a great lad too.
    so if he qualifies i'd like to nominate him.

    Hello All

    I would like to nominate my son John Rhinds for this competition. He is 12 years old and loves to shoot. We are both members of Glenrothes Target Shooting Club and at the moment we are both using my tx200 mk1 in .22 which he has to bench rest for the weight.
    This has been a tough year but my son always has a smile, never bigger than when we head off to the club.

    Cheers

    John
