The course of fire has been added to the COF page. Its changed a bit and we will be starting at 300 yards for a change so make sure you get properly sighted in.

The usual rules apply so see you on Sunday.

Update – Scores on the results page – good day. We will keep the 300 yard stage etc.

Now the results really are there, I forgot to save the page.

Below is a pic of the 100 yard standing detail We should really have some more photos (email them to me if you have them). We were too busy enjoying ourselves to take pictures!

See you next time for the classic Mc Queen at 200. this is primarily for classic sniper rifles but all are welcome.

We continue to experiment with this shoot and I have added the course of fire to the COF page. Its still a bit work in progress but the next iteration is on Sunday. As we will be going in and out of the butts and changing ranges you are asked to keep your kit to a minimum so essential kit only to make shifting around easier.

To ensure things move quickly we will be getting the rilfes off the point quickly and you can go back for your empties after the guns are off. You will need to have a decent zero and about 50 rounds plus sighters.

No idea what the weather will be but its likely to be cold so wrap up well and dont hang around looking at your feet when its time to shoot or go to the butts.

Scores on the Results page – well shot all.

A Foggy start but it cleared away and was a pretty decent day in the end. A good turnout, particularly for the 303 shoot at 300. There was a great deal of frustration in trying to shoot a post foresight using a round bull target. Most of us managed to vertically string the shots along with the heavy trigger pulls so get some not great scores. Going from a modern rifle back to one over 70 years old is a real challenge, We should probably do more of it.

The 600 shoot went fine although it was the first dusting off of the TR rifles with probably predictable results. This shoot is nominally a match against Horsham Rifle Club and one way or another we will get some teams together.

I don’t have the results yet so keep an eye on the site and I will post them when they are to hand.

The next shoot is Scoped Rifle 1 so I will work on the course of fire as we are trying to make these a bit more interesting / challenging.

UPDATE

The scores have been added to the results page. Well shot all. We had more 303 shooters that we have had for a while. Unfortunately Horsham were only able to provide 2 team members so the teams have been set to the top 2 shooters from each club.

That being the case Dorking won – we have not won this for a while so we are delighted to achieve this. The Top score on the say was Rob B who did very will with his SMLE, this comp is won with the 303 score as they are tricky to shoot on a modern target. We may have to consider making up some Top Hat targets for this in future.

There is a slight caveat in the scores and I have to declare ain interest here as I am also a member of Horsham Rifle Club. If i take the top 3 scores and put myself in Horsham (removing myself from the Dorking team) then they win by a whisker. My score has never been that important!

So as a member of Horsham and Chairman of Dorking its a tricky choice. I had better stick with Dorking but I will make it up to George and Rob with some liquid consolation at some point.

Update

I have had to redo the scores as I got some of them wrong. It was a tie in scores between Horsham and Dorking with them creeping ahrad on V Bulls 163.5 V 163.13.

Close but no cigar for Dorking this time. Bu**er!

If you enjoyed the TR 303 we can fit some more in some time – let me know.

See you at the Scoped Rifle event next time.

Course of Fire Posted to the COF page.

Scores added to the Results Page. Well Shot all, particularly Steve who proves you don’t need a fancy modern rifle to put in a good score.

The next shoot is the Penguin. 2/10 aith a 303 at 300 yards and 2×10 with a 7.62 at 600 yards. It is a TR match against Horsham but all welcome.

The weather forecast for Sunday is Awful and there are promises of all sorts of liquid misery and wind. We have a 100 and 200 yard practice in the calendar but i strongly advise shooters to be flexible.

We may have the shoot at 100 and 600 so there is a bit more shelter. So if you are coming along – don’t let the weather put you off, I suggest waterproof clothing and a firearm that is weatherproof and will shoot out to 600 if we end up back at the club house for some warmth and shelter.

It is a practice so we can decide on the day but prepare the possibility of a longer range shoot.

See you Sunday.
