First of all we would like to thank everyone who attended for their huge generosity today in aid of MIND. We had a quick add up and so far with entry fees, raffle, donations from shooters and the land owner & Best Ironwork the total is £890 with other monies still coming in via social media.
We hope everyone had a great day, Andy and team (Howard Kalisch, Roy Pearce, Gary Morrison and myself) set another challenging and technical course which took advantage of the variable breeze.

I used to like the Buxted courses , now i just hope you all fall in a huge pile of nettles .... i didnt think courses could get anymore hard or frustrating and yet still enjoyable .
Huge thanks to all the course setters for this , all the people who donated and turned up to shoot in aid of a charity that is very close to home .
AGAIN massive thanks to my ever suffering helpers Kev H and Ivan today was the first time ive had to take my fall asleep , up with the fairies pain killers so they really had their work cut out .
one of the highlights for me today was seeing two junior shooters giving away their prizes , Harvey won a box of chocolates , opened them and went round offering everyone one , Gabe gave his bottle of plonk to Barbara and Roy Pierce .... Nice to see and heart warming .... good on ya lads, good on ya.

Well that was one shoot not too miss, although I gotta admit I did miss the positionals (sorry Andy but I can't help it ;-) )
Thanks to course setter......blah blah blah, look I cant keep saying how great you guys are for setting the courses all the time but yeah your all great PLUS where would a lot of these top shoots be without you guys, hats off to you lads cheers !
Well done all the top shots for some fantastic scores with some tricky breezes later on in the day, well done.
Mandy's & the Raffle just topped it off.
Gabriel conducting himself as a gent once more & doing that off his own back......well sais it all, well proud.
Atb you lot
£890 brilliant
96....top bombing Justin, well shoot mate....said it before he's a machine
Buxted you excelled yourselves, I fell into at least half a dozen cunning traps....shooting a pellet as a range finding tool is almost as good as a laser range finder......bit late then....oh bugger it was 35 not 25 etc.
Have to fess up, I was in denial on a donut, the lads thought I missed, I thought I didn't, the card ended up with a zero so all's good.
Our Justin produced an excellent shot on one of the harder 15mm jobbies, right through the hole, problem was there was no paddle behind the hole....must remember to pull those strings
Which devious so and so fuzzed the edge up on the round plate at around peg 4...tricky bugger
Big rabbit small rabbit....big diamond small diamond....my head hurts

Great course buxted as always. Superb day out and for charity. Really enjoyed it. Cheers to Rex also great laugh. Cheers Russ my thoughts exactly and fairplay Gabe a proper gentleman 😉 top shooting class winners. And simmo for a fine score even though you didn't enter your card. Cheers again all involved loved it
Firstly like to thank everyone who gave so generously, I know Darren for whom this charity is so particularly relevant was blown away with all your generosity. So thank you all and well done.
Russ nail on the head, the shooting community is obviously nurturing youth that we can and are proud of. Respect kids.
Also big thanks to our landowners who waived their rent for the day towards the charity.

Well done everyone, a good cause, good to see our sport doing some good.
That course taught me a thing or two, mainly that if you follow Mr Morrison around, there is a trail of sweeties...
