Hi you lot

Big THANKS to Derek and the Horsham Hawks’ crew for putting on a great course for Round 6 of this year’s SIHFT. Plenty there to keep you ‘amused’, including lots of challenging but nice narrow lanes in the woods and interesting traps in the field too.

After the almost unbearable heat we had in the first few days of this week, today’s cooler temp and lovely breeze was really rather delightful. Though I do wish the latter could have decided which way it wanted to blow and how strong its gusts were. I suspect that was where most of us dropped points in the field-of-doom

Not found the time or energy to do my score card completion checks, so if you were missing any bits, you’ll get off with this FOR NOW.

Anyway, here are the full set of results from today.

Apologies to Richard that I had to give him an IOU for his bag-of-splendour. I promise NOT to forget packing it when we meet up at Mile Oak.

Two more Platinum SIHFT Badges issued today- to Charles Peal and Howard Kalish. Good shooting guys, equalling today’s 100% top score of 56, alongside Kev Hills

SIHFT Round 7 is two weeks away, on Sunday 7th August, when we return to another club with its own field-of-doom, Mile Oak.

Only one ‘spare’ Sunday before then when, at the moment, I am unaware of any events in the diary. So … you may have a weekend ‘off’ to fine tune your weapons ahead of SIHFT R7, or just have some fun in the sun. On the way home, Vince (my nurse and driver) was muttering about fishing that day.

All the best
