Hi everyone
Today delivered most unusual weather for Round 2 of this year’s SIHFT. Hardly a breath of wind – except every time I took my shots in the field – and wall-to-wall sunshine.
BIG thanks to the Oakies for putting out splendid HFT course, including the new/old fields on the Downs with some added cow; first time I’ve ever heard a marshal call for extra bodies to chase off the cattle
And another good turnout of 70 – 18 of which were from our ‘newbies’, Meon Valley, making it clear that there's a keen appetite for HFT as far west as Hampshire. Well done guys and showed in your taking the day’s top score and excellent and 1st place winning team score.

Great result Nick!!
Well done meon valley, great result, some competition at last haha!!
I would like to thank my Oakies for all the work they have done to prepare for this day!
Also to the marshals that had their work cut out, with all the "I'm sure I got it" brigade....!!
Thanks to all those that gave up their time to make this happen, it doesn't go unnoticed!
Sorry I couldn't be there spongey xxx
SIHFT Winners 2011 - 2012 - 2013 - AND 2014....2015..2016...oh look back at green...running out of colours! Ha!
Thank you Oakies it was a really enjoyable course splendidly organised by Charles and his team.
Well done Nick super shooting!
See you all at the Swallows.

Very many thanks from Horsham Hawks for a fine morning's shooting. A very clever course with some true range-traps / tricky target placements (IMHO); made all the worse by a very dodgy old wind. Congratulations to West Meon and the top scorers. See you all at round three.

WOW!!!!!! Well done out Nick!!!!! Brilliant shooting mate.

Beware the man with one gun.
Cheers, guys - thank you all for your kind words, and thanks to Mile Oak club for hosting another really enjoyable shoot and for laying on a cracking course - courses such as that one don't just "happen"; a lot of hard work, time and effort go into pulling everything together.
Haven't really shot .177 much, so it was nice to have a good round.
And thanks also to Simmo for his ongoing handy hints and tips on HFT protocol and etiquette 😉 - much appreciated.
Great course, incredible wind. Sorry about that.
Well shot Nick of the dinner!

COME ON THE FORDIES
Brilliant course, top company (two positionals - calm down fella ) diabolical swirly breeze give it left it moves left - what's that all about
Must remember why I am there and avoid sucking the fun out of it again, apologies to Charles for calling one when I really shouldn't have, Justin you are right what's the point
COME ON THE FORDIES
Highlight of the day however was Simmo christening the creation the FRANKENSTEYR , work has started on the bride....
Never been to Swallows, looking forward to it
oh forgot to say COME ON THE FORDIES

Thanks Oakies for a great course and great weather apart from the wind.
I was so close to winning the goody bag but was snatched away from me at the last moment
Thanks Kev C for the company, damn that duck and peg 28
Regards
