Update – Well it was certainly wet! Having dried out and reflected its always worth turning up as you never know. We decided to shoot both competitions at 600 with the first detail shot at 600 on a 500 yard target. There was on occasion the need to dash to the cover of the 600 yard veranda but we got through it with 8 scores handed in although there were a few who shot as a practice and two disappearing TR shooters who didn’t hand in a card. It is in fact two separate competitions so the winner of the A Whyte was Neil with a 150.11 and the Garrick was Guy (AKA me) with 150.13. Neil was the overall best shot with 150.20 (I don’t think he got that wet).
So given the weather and difficult to see target there was the possibility of a good score.
The next shoot is the for charity Boar Hill in aid of the Royal British Legion. Please turn up and make your contribution and you may even get a sausage roll (or two).
£5.00 minimum to enter.
Sundays shoot is a TR/Scoped at 300 and 500 yards. 2×15 at each distance. As the weather is a bit changeable we may switch to 600 if its awful so be prepared either way.
A few other things to note, those of you who did the NRA RSO course may find that the certification has expired. If you wish to renew this then you can do this on line (for an inevitable NRA Fee) at

There is also a notice that you will need to complete via the NRA for the use of hand loaded ammunition. NRA members will have been sent this but if you wish to shoot hand loads at Dorking then you need to sign this and send it back with your renewal form.
Have a read of this and let us have your form with your renewal.
