UPDATE

Well a select few turned out to what ended up as an enjoyable shoot. It was a bit damp but we had enough to run the full set and the scores are on the results page.

The mud did not put off the shooting standard and there were some good scores. I tried to do it the old way with a Swedish Mauser of 1918 vintage that was great fun to shoot but I did miss the AR15 and scope! Still you have to do these things.

See you all at the next one that is a 600 Practice

Sundays shoot is the first Service Rifle shoot of the season. The details are on the Course of Fire page and its the file dated 26/02/01. It would be best if you downloaded this and had a look before turning up.

Service rifle (by popular demand) has gone back to 5 details so you will need a minimum ok 52 rounds to complete the whole shoot.

You know how these things work by now.

Just an update on the last shoot that was a 200 yard practice on the electronic targets. This proved popular and we will probably run this again this year and replace one of the Gallery rifle shoots with a 200 practice instead.

So keep an eye on the website for updates, pay your subs and we will see you on Sunday

Sundays shoot is a 200 yard practice and we will use the electronic targets. Saves swapping marking duties in the butts etc so should be easier.

This is not a free for all to shred the targets please so the normal rules apply on having rifles zeroed etc. Will be a good opportunity to get things on target for the season.

The program has a Work party mentioned but we wont do a lot of that. I would like to get the Butts tidied up and sort out any rubbish etc. There may be time to cut back some of the trees at 400 yards but the day will be mostly shooting.

Make sure you pay your subs and we will see you on Sunday.

Happy New Year to all of you

The provisional program and dates have been added to the relevant parts of the site. These may be subject to change (someone is bound to point out where I have made a mistake!)

However its a start so enjoy the holidays and we will see you at the Hero Shoot and beyond.

Update – The results were delayed due to the need to dry everything out including the score sheet!

Anyway the results are now on the relevant page for the pairs. Although the weather was somewhat against us it was not as bad and expected and we did the shoot largely as published. It was good fun in the end and a good way to do something a bit different. I may add another pairs shoot somewhere in next years program.

We held the AGM and this was well attended and it was largely agreed that it will be BAU for 2026. The membership fee will be increasing and we were supposed to do this last year but missed it so you got 2025 at the 2024 price.

For 2026 it will be increased by £10.00 to £130 for NRA members and £150 for Non NRA members. I will be publishing the program for next year over the holiday period.

Enjoy Christmas (or festival of your choice) and we will see you at the Hero shoot.

Course of Fire is now on the Course of Fire page Please read and take note

The Christmas Shoot approaches and we will be publishing the program shortly but its likely to be along the lines of last year.

What we do know is that we will be providing some Sausage Rolls and Mince pies etc so you will get a head start on the festive snacks. You will need to being a wrapped gift to the value of between £5 to £10 (you cant seem to get anything for £5 these days) as an entry to the shoot and then the participants will be able to choose a prize at the end.

After the shoot we will hold the AGM so you are encouraged to attend. Questions to the committee should be sent in advance so we can research any necessary replies if needed.

Come along for a shoot, bring a gift, eat some snacks and contribute to the AGM.

What’s not to like – see you then

Update

There was a promise of poor weather so a only a hardy 111 turned up and were rewarded with sunshine, clear sky’s and no rain! This shows that you really need to come along as you never know who its going to be.

Scores are on the results page and well shot all. To all of you who stayed away then you missed a good one!

Thanks to Kev who has kindly repaired our Gazebos – we depend on volunteers!

The next shoot is Service Rifle so grab your rifle of choice and come along. Its going to be warmer on Sunday (but it may be wet!).

The program is on the Course of Fire page and the file is called 251125 Service Rifle 4 so please download the correct one, Read it and come along.

We will see you then

Update

Great turn out with teams from Wandsworth and Horsham joining us for the day. The TR team event was won by Wandsworth with Dorking second. Dorking just piped Horsham with a point and a V but its points that count.

We raised £350 for the Legion and overall it was a great day with the inevitable Sausage Rolls! The scores are on the results page.

Sundays shoot is in aid of the Royal British Legion and we shoot 2×10 at 300 and 600 yards with teams from Wandsworth and Horsham attending as well.

Details for TR and Scoped Rifles and all are welcome in support of charity. There will be a variety of snacks afterwards and to shoot you are required to make a donation of at least £5.00 in aid of charity. To be honest we have charged £5.00 per shooter for as long as I can remember so it would help the charity if you could think about a larger donation (£5.00 is still the minimum).

So come along have a shoot, support the charity and have a sausage roll or two!

See you then

Update – Scores are on the results page some pretty good shooting all round. Only three TR shooters but they are nicely warmed up for the Boar Hill Remembrance Shoot in two weeks time (you are all expected to attend and support the Charity event).

Overall winners were Rob B for the TR with 147.16 and Scoped was Darren with 150.26!

As the A Whyte / Garrick is two competitions then the individual comps were TR / Scoped

A Whyte – Rob B 74.8 (TR) DanT 75.14 (Scoped)

Garrick – Ryan W 74.5 (TR) Darren McD 75.15 (Scoped)

Well shot all – See you at the Boar Hill

Sundays shoot is TR & Scoped Rifle shoot with 2×15 at each distance. This is open to all so don’t be put off by the C word in the title. You do not need to submit a score if you don’t want to.

Anyway it should be a good shoot and is an opportunity to shoot several distances and prepare for the Boar Hill Remembrance shoot in November

See you then

Note – On Saturday Night the clocks go back – Don’t forget!

Sundays shoot (not sure why I say the day as they are all on a Sunday) is a Gallery rifle

Its an opportunity to zero rifles (lest face it some of you need to do this) and shoot the items that dont get out much so come along and bring plenty of ammo.

See you then

Update – Good shoot and 9 scores of 50 with 4 scoring 50.10. So there is no shortage of good shooting on the day.

Scores are on the results page, see you at the next one that is a Gallery Rifle.

Sundays shoot is a McQueens at 300 for modern rifles (Nominally)

I expect all of you know how this works by now so please remember to:-

Be Ready with Rifle and ammunition to hand

Do your turn (s) in the butts – you may need to do more than one

See you Sunday

Update – Shoot completed and the scores are on the results page. Good fun all round and we mostly dodged the weather!

The next shoot is a Gallery Rifle at 100 – See you then

Sundays shoot is at 300 and 500 yards with the nominal course of fire at 2x 10 at each distance. There is a competition for the Gravett Cub but there will be a practice running alongside so the comp is optional and all are therefore welcome.

I know that many of you are not fans of competitions but some are so we have to manage the shoot for both camps.

Anyway we try to keep everyone happy so come along and we will make the most of it.

If the weather is awful (it cant make up its mind at the moment) then we will re consider on the day.

See you then.
