The Devon Tankard

This shoot is on. We welcome a team from Epsom who will get the numbers up. The course of fire is up to 5 sighters and 10 to count. As this shoot falls outside our normal program it is restricted to .22 RF rifles only. There is no provision for any other calibre.

The Shoot was completed despite the targets and the results are posted on the relevant page.

The Barclay Cup

A windy day and not too many people for the TR competition. If the TR shooters don’t turn up for the TR shoots then it is difficult to justify running them. We will make every effort to try to arrange things so they don’t clash with other shoots so what else can we do to encourage TR shooters to support these events in greater numbers?

The results are posted on the relevant page.

Classic Mc Queen

The Results are on the page and congratulations to your correspondent who showed the modern rifle shooters a thing or two with a rifle made in 1906! Still there were some great scores and we had a great time in the fine weather.

The next shoot is the Modern McQueen’s at 300 yards so it is much harder. Results to date show that the competition will be tough but don’t let that put you off as it will be fun for all to take part.

We have three McQueen targets so we should be able to move along at a reasonable place.

See you then.

Service Rifle / Mothers Day/ Clocks Change

Well some of us made it to the range! Those that did had a quick shoot and had great fun in the nice weather. Scores are on the results page and as its mothers day there is not time for a long report!

I have this years crop of membership cards so you can collect them from me on the range. The next shoots are Classic and then Modern McQueen so see you then.

Bookham Rifle Club

 

Tim Hammond our long term member is also Secretary of Bookham RC and they have asked us to support their application for a club house rebuild. The details are in the next paragraph and full information is on they Bookham web site by following the link. It can all be done electronically so no stamps needed.

Bookham RC is applying for planning permission to knock down our old clubhouse and build a new larger one to encompass and enclose the air range and also the 25 yard range firing point on the other side. They are currently in the consultation period and are asking for people to support the application by writing letters to Mole Valley DC. There is a link on the Bookham website to the application here   http://www.bookhamrifleclub.org.uk/clubhouse/latest-news.html

  Deadline for submissions is 13th March.

It would be a great help for them if we could support the application as we have many joint members and they provide the initial training for our newer members so its time to stick together.

Thanks I am sure it will be appreciated.
