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.

This was not a competition so no scores to update but we did see the first of the new Bench at 600 yards. This was built by Mat (many thanks to him for this) and it proved to be a popular addition.

There are some more images on the Pictures page.

Easy shoot on Sunday as its a practice at 500 and 600 yards.

Please make sure your rifle is zeroed for the distance and bring enough ammo

See you then

A good and busy shoot with plenty of action and no rain!

Some excellent shooting with difficult targets. Rob (Mr Single Shot) and Dan tied for first place with 145/13. The scoring is awkward and the 300 total is halved to make it out of 50 per distance. The total V’s are shown Gross so they are shown in total. We have to do the scoring somehow!

We have taken a while to get this shoot right and I think we are about there.

Practice 1 is at 300 with P2 t 500 on a 300 target and P3 at 600 on a 500 target.

Anyway its not perfect but it will do.

Scores on the Results page

We made this a bit harder on timing and on smaller targets.

Sundays shoot is the second Scoped Rifle Shoot of the year. The COF is on the Course of Fire Page so download it and have a read.

It was a bit too easy last time so I have changed some of the timings and added a compulsory reload to keep you all interested!

Should be fun and we will see you on Sunday

In between the showers we had a good day and now having dried out the scores are on the results page. Some good scores achieved and a decent shoot overall. There are some more pictures on the Photos page so take look there.

See you at the next one – Scoped Rifle.

Sundays shoot is the swapped Service Rifle that had to be re arranged. The course of fire is on the COF page and is The one entitled

250706 SR3 Course of Fire

Please make sure you download the correct one and bring along enough of the right ammo.

The weather looks to be ‘changeable’ so pack for anything and we will see you there.

CHANGE OF PROGRAM

In a change to events the next shoot on the 6 July will be a 300/500 Practice and the Service Rifle shoot will move a bit later to the 20 July, Sorry about that but sometimes these things have to move a bit.

The Service Rifle Shoot will be later on the 20 July assuming I survive a potentially very hot trip to Sicily (and a possibly erupting Volcano)! We will have the service rifle then when its hopefully a bit cooler.

See you then

Update – Turns out it was not as hot as some feared and a very nice day to be on the range. The Scores are on the results page and as usual it was won or lost on a V bull. Proving once again that you do not need to have a proper sniper rifle for this was Rob B with a 50.9 shot with a single shot scoped TR! Well shot to everyone else and thanks to all of those who helped run the day.

Sundays shoot is a modern McQueens that is at 300 yards.

The usual format with multi entry, two sighters and 10 to count on the ‘Hund head’ in the castle.

The weather should be good and so we will see you there.

Update

Scores are posted on the results page for all to enjoy (not particularly in my case!) It was a great shoot over three distances with enough wind to move things around but no wet stuff or drama!

Well shot to Kevin who got the memo and won the TR section a Neil B with an unbeatable 150 x 23 so well done.

See you on the next one

Sundays shoot is a 300 / 500 / 600 shoot for the Knight Cup/Gellibrand Shield along with a practice from those who are not wishing to put in a score. Its an excellent opportunity to shoot and fall back and thus be sure of a zero.

We may also be joined by a team from the Army who want to do a pre Bisley practice so if they do send a team we need to show the club in the best light and welcome our visitors. We do not normally allow this but our constitution does support this activity so we will see if it happens. They will shoot on their own detail along side our regular activity.

So the weather looks to be ok and it should be an interesting shoot.

Just to be clear (as many are frightened if I mention the word Competition) all are welcome in the competition or not and remember to keep you FAC you need to show regular use.

See you then

Great shoot and I want to thank all those who turned up and helped with the work party. We didnt over do it but did tidy up the hut, the butts and set a bonfire to lots of stuff that has been in the way for a while so I have to remind all that the club relies on your support and help.

See you at the next one that is a 3/5 and 6

Sundays shoot is a Gallery Rifle at 100 yards. This is an opportunity to bring out some of the weird and wonderful and give it an airing. We do have a Work party in the program but don’t let that put you off.

The majority of things we need to do are outside the scope of what we can do in the time allowed so we will confine ourselves to a decent tidy of the butts area and a clear out of the junk in the shed as there is plenty of combustibles Im itching to set light to!

So I want to shoot until at least 12 and then spend no longer than an hour on the tidy up. We could do with some tools to repaid targets and the like but also to make a list of future items.

As ever all assistance is welcome.
