    Trophies will be awarded for each round and the overall championship for 1st, 2nd and 3rd for all categories: Men, Ladies and Juniors.

    Sounds great, I hope it is a great success, the unfortunate thing is, the only springer I have is FAC rated. So looks like theres going to be another on my wish list. The lottery beckons I think.

    You know of another?

    I could say the same thing about UKAHFT - E&WAHFT perhaps? - but I won't

    Am I to take that as your application?

    As a non-Southerner myself I have some sympathy with what you say but as El Sec I deeply resent this offensive, racist slur on our members and guest shooters - especially those from nearby villages in Hertfordshire






    You can please some of the people.......

    Paul and I are interested. Is it going to be pre-book, or just turn up on the day?

    Good question

    Probably just turn up on the day. If there's loads of interest nearer the time we may look at pre-booking but as we can fit in two rounds (ie 180 shooters) I doubt it'll be required.

    Any change to this will be posted here

    So what happens if a Gas ram wins it overall ? Hardly a Spring gun champion.
    Not really a fan of gas rams competing in a Spring gun championship.

    What's your concern ? Do you consider them easier to shoot than a regular well tuned springer ? Which springers / GasRams have you compared ?

    Genuinely curious about this statement....

    Don't see the problem myself either - gas ram is just a type of spring after all.

    Them's the rules.

    As people who've shot LV springer competitions before will testify them's always been the rules.

    All are welcome to participate in this series but attendance isn't compulsary

    I cant see a problem here.
    Gas ram gets classed into the the springer category because of the recoil factor, Its very similar to the spring recoil action, albeit using a ram rather than a spring.
    The only exception was Semi-recoiling guns, this I'm sure you'll agree speaks for itself, and is a no no!.
