Update – Scores on the Results page, Well shot all, it was as tricky as ever and the tiny V bull was still possible to hit. We had lots of people along and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, Whats not to like! – See you at the Scoped Rifle shoot next time.

Sundays shoot is the McQueens at 200 yards that is primarily for Classic rifles. This means although its closer the v bull is tiny! There will be separate classes for Classic scoped rifles and for Modern scoped rifles. (so all are welcome).

We do not allow iron sighted rifles on this as it tends to shred the castles but other than that you all know the drill so see you on Sunday.

Note

The clocks go forward on Saturday night/Sunday morning so this will no doubt create chaos in the start time but we will commence at 09:30 as normal so change your clocks and turn up on time. Coffee on arrival if someone brings the milk!

Sundays shoot is Gallery rifle at 100 yards. It needs no introduction so this is an excellent opportunity to give those rarely seen items an outing.

Whilst you may know the drill for the shoot I have to remind you that there is a strict process on Guests and this cannot be ‘flexed’ Guests have to be pre approved at least 48 hours in advance via Steve and all shootings will need to have their own insurance and a SSC.

Please don’t turn up with an extra body as its awkward to turn them away.

If you have any queries then please ask in advance.

Im told it was a successful if not chilly day so Im glad everyone enjoyed themselves. I note the biscuits were located and mostly finished so that whilst disappointing for me is better for my diet.

I have a number of pictures to post from this shoot and the Service Rile one (thanks to Lee) so these are going on the Pictures page so they remain accessible.

See you at the next one that is a Gallery shoot.

No Valentines? No problem we love you at Dorking (if you have paid your renewal fee) so come along to our 600 yard practice and pull the trigger on your favourite firearms.

Weather looks good and there is shelter in the club house (and a secret biscuit store) if you fine them then leave some for me.

Sadly I’m going to be laid up but the team will be there to sort you out (wont you).

I will see you when I can so cheer me up with some pictures of the fun.

Enjoy

Update – Freezing but fun!

The 100 and 200 yard points remained in the shade all morning so it was freezing! The padlocks froze as well so that was a challenge to get everything started. However that aside we had a decent shoot and a fair turnout. The scores were up to their usual high standard. The scores are on the results page.

We have hopefully all now warmed up a bit but it was worth the effort.

Enjoy the next one and it may even be warmer!

Lee took plenty of pictures so I will add them over the next few days

Sundays shoot is Service rifle. The schedule is on the Course of Fire page

I think by now you all know about this type of event although we have reduced the round count from 52 to 42 rounds to save on ammo costs. Im not 100% sure if this is desired or not so if you want these back to 52 then you will have to let me know either way.

So download the COF, Grab your bang stick and waterproofs and I will see you on Sunday

Sundays shoot is a Gallery Rifle at 100 yards. Hopefully better weather than the last one but we managed ok then (in case anyone was wondering).

So time to (renew your membership) and bring out those oddities from the back of the gun cabinet and give them a whirl.

See you then

Sundays shoot is for Heroes only (given the likely weather) so the macho will turn up tomorrow and whilst the program says 100 and 200 on manual targets the weather may have a say in this.

So if its possible we will stick to the program but if the weather is awful (as is forecast) we will shoot from 600 where there will be shelter (along with Biscuits and Coffee).

So if you are wise (aside from bringing the correct clothing) bring along a bang stick that will shoot from 600. If you turn up with a .22 it could be difficult.

The general idea for this shoot is to bring along what you fancy using but we may well be at 600.

See you then.

Another year and here we go again! We have added the provisional program to the relevant page with files in PDF and Word to download and get ready for the year ahead.

We have made a few changes and will be moving some things around. The Service Rifle shoots have been reduced to 4 details as there have been suggestions that the round count is too high given the ammo costs. In general its business as usual but the TR is not well supported so these wont remain in the program for ever if people dont want them.

We will be reviewing the lead ban and see how we can deal with this and will update you when we have a strategy and as ever if you dont use them you will loose them (you know what I mean)!

So Happy New Year and see you on the range.

Sunday 8th December will see us hold the Christmas Shoot and AGM so two reasons to turn up!

The course of fire is on the COF page and you will need to bring the required firearms and ammunition. It will be shot in pairs so you will need to find a friend on the day.

We will see if we can provide some Mince pies and Sausage rolls to encourage attendance. No liability by the club is accepted if the filling in the mince pies is the temperature of lava. If you can mange a gun then lets hope you can manage the snacks.

Entry is required to the cost of a wrapped gift to the minimum value of £5.00 – no gift, no shoot.

We will hold the AGM once we have finished the shoot, handed out the prizes at around 1pm.

UPDATE

Scores are on the Results page. Well shot all. A small but select band attended, enough to run the shoot and contrary to the forecast the weather was fine with no rain and a decent shoot. It was enjoyed by all so roll on the next one.

The next shoot will be the Christmas shoot and AGM after. I will add more details later but take this as the required 14 days notice of the AGM taking place on the 8th December after the shoot. If you have a question please provide it in advance.

Try to come along and support the club, to offer an incentive there may be more sausage rolls and mince pies!

See you then

Sundays shoot is Service Rifle and the program is on the Course of Fire Page called 241124 SR5 so download / read the course of fire.

The weather is a bit uncertain so if no one turn up and its awful we may retire to 600 yards instead. We will decide this on the day so bring along something you can use for SR or 600 just in case.

Advanced notice

We will probably hold the AGM after the Christmas shoot in 4 weeks time but we will firm up the details closer to the time.

See you Sunday (wrap up well!)

Update

Great shoot and a busy day. We had a team from Horsham (who won the team shoot) with Wandsworth second. Dorking felt it would not be good form to beat our guests so we relaxed in third place.

The scores are on the results page and include the Scoped individual results. Graeme Cl with a score of 100 x20 shows us all how it should be done.

The shoot was in aid of the Royal British Legion and we held the two minute silence at 11. We raised over £200 for the legion (I dont have the exact amount) and many gave generously.

Finally I have to thank Mrs P who came along and sorted out the club house (we need to do more cleaning) and served the mince pies and sausage rolls hot from the oven.

As ever this is a club for the members and we all need to chip in to make it the excellent club it is.

See you at the next one – Service Rifle

Sundays shoot is our annual charity event in aid of the Royal British Legion. We will hold the usual TR comp and there will be teams visiting us from Horsham and Wandsworth. There is a separate class for Scoped rifles so all are welcome.

As the shoot is for charity there will be a fee of £5.00 minimum for each shooter for RBL and I will ensure there are some Sausage Rolls and Mince pies to keep everyone going.

So this is an important shoot in our calendar and it would be great if you can support the club and the Legion.

We do this every year and will hold a 2 minutes silence at 11

See you then
