Practice Shoot Ludgershall 20th September

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

A very good turnout for our Sunday shoot. It was a warm dry September morning shoot with seven operational stands, and one waiting stand to cope with the large turnout. One very tricky stand with a following pair of clays from a tower caused problems with many shooters. Many blanking this stand.

Practice Shoot at Doddershall 30th August

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

An extra shoot was organised for the 5th Sunday of the month. This was a welcome shoot to offset the shoots we missed earlier in the season. There were some difficult targets in today’s shoot. The two slow incoming clays looked deceptively easy, how come so many missed the right-hand clay. Who set up stand 5 with the two left to right crossing targets. The first of the pair was hittable as it came to a stop in front of you. The second target, landing not far away was apparently impossible. I never saw one broken. Collecting the clays at the end of the day reinforced this observation. The high score of 37 was confirmation of the difficult targets. We only get better by testing ourselves.

Practice Shoot Ludgershall 16th August

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

Our first summer shoot at Ludgershall was held in warm muggy conditions. Many shooters regretting bringing their wet weather gear. The new normal 6 stands were set up, with a couple of rather demanding stands. Don’t let Brian attend FITASC shoots before setting up our shoot. The weather stayed dry, there were a couple of shooters in the forties.

Our next shoot is the BBQ shoot, held at Ludgershall, details out later. If you are coming, then make sure you have booked. Brian has a treat in store for us all.

Practice Shoot at Doddershall 2nd August

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

A pleasant day shooting, with a good mixture of targets. The day was dry, and a wind that varied. On the whole quite testing, well Graham didn’t make 40, so must have been hard.

Practice Shoot at Quainton 19th July

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

Our Quainton shoot had a large turn out. All the shooting was from on top of the old railway embankment. HS2 are back, and access to the field we sometimes shoot from is now closed. This might have been the last time we shoot at Quainton. HS2 are taking over more land then was originally envisaged.

The weather was kind, and became quite balmy by the end of the shoot, with many members stripping of excess clothing to remain cool. Today’s shoot was a mixture. A couple of card filler stands to build confidence and some very demanding stands to destroy what remaining confidence you still had. How can a slow incomer be so difficult to shoot? The going away teal had to be shot quickly, otherwise, it was at the boundary of the field. Still, there were still some high scores above 40.

This shoot was also the first one since shooting resumed after lock-down where we were requested to help clear up. Not an onerous task for us, a quick pickup of the clays which we deposited next to the traps, and then the team did the rest.

Practice Shoot at Doddershall 5th July

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

Another post lockdown shoot set up by Brian’s team. A dry sunny day, with a strong gusty wind, provided some skittish targets which moved around. The strong wind was reflected in the lower scores. Well, at least that is my excuse. Short of cartridges, then remember DB Guns is open late on a Friday.

Practice Shoot at Quainton 21st June

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

Following the success of the previous shoot and the dedication of Brian’s team, our second post lockdown shoot was held at Quainton. This was held in a similar format as before. Again we were treated to some fine weather and a good set up. I heard several comments from shooters who thought the layout was good. A mixture of some easy birds, (yes the author did straight one stand), and far more demanding stands. Something for everyone. It was lovely to get out and see everyone enjoying themselves. A big thank you again to Buckinghamahsire gun shop DB guns for setting up the excellent shoot.

Practice Shoot at Doddershall 7th June

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

Our first shoot since the start of Lockdown was held at Doddershall. The shoot was held in a different format than usual. Members-only and pre-booking were required to shoot. We were grouped into squads of six before arrival. On arrival, a short introductory briefing on how we were to proceed around the shoot, how to button and score the cards. Hand sanitiser was available on all the stands. There were 39 shooters, so six squads of six and three more to shoot after the six squads had competed.

After we had shot we immediately left, leaving behind Brian, Eli and Dawn to clear up. A really great thank you to DB Guns for running this shoot for us. The weather was good, it was nice to be out shooting in the pleasant countryside in shorts and tee shirt again. We must not forget the landowners who let us shoot on their fields. Without them, we could not pursue our sport.

Practice Shoot at Quainton 15th March

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

After a break caused by torrential rain and waterlogged fields, it was good to be back shooting clays again. The rain mainly held off for the shoot, but a light drizzle did start before the end of the shoot. Today’s shoot was fairly compact, saving on walking and tramping across the wet fields. Will the numbers of shooters decrease when the older members have to start isolating themselves in the next few weeks? Time will tell.
