We were lucky with the weather again this morning. A great turnout. Many thanks to Brian, Dawn and their assistants for such a testing set of stands.

Following a fantastic sunny shoot in the quarry in Wales today we finally beat the Welsh at their home ground. I can’t remember ever beating them in all the years I have been going down to Wales.
The High gun was Martin Beason from the Nags Head with a 54 and took the bottle of whiskey home.
The final result was 462 to Kingswood and 453 to the Welsh.
Thanks to the Kingswood shooters for making the journey and to the shooters from the Nags head who made the numbers up at the last minute who also had the top 5 high scores.
Hopefully we can get a good turnout at the home leg to finally get the trophy that we have never won.
The practice shoot was held at Ludgershall. Excellent weather, warm and sunny and no wind. As usual, a mixture of demanding targets, and some easier stands to build up confidence. Why oh why did this shooter, on a stand where 10 out of 10 was easily attainable and had been by most of the squad still drop one.
Congratulations to Dawn with the highest score of the day. Who needs a special woman’s trophy with her shooting like that.
Our next shoot is Sunday 28th At St Brides Major in Wales, so good luck to all those who make the journey across the bridge. It is time we won our trophy back. We intend to meet up at the Farmers Arms, CF32 0SE at 10 am and then move onto the shooting ground. If you miss the meetup, the entrance to the quarry where we shoot is located at 51.469455, -3.572402

Daniel 14Thankfully the rain of the previous days stayed away. Instead we had a windy day where some of the clay targets reversed their direction during their flight. We were introduced to a rabbit which bolted down the slope, leaping over the bumps in the grass, with an incoming crow which dropped seemingly out of range to many. Thankfully there were a few stands with some easier targets. My bête noire was stand five with the crosser which reversed its direction in the gale, and the on report bird which flew high overhead.
Good turn out with 32 members and 2 guests shooting.

Charlotte 29A cloudy mild day with a little rain and a strong wind courtesy of Freya. Nice mix of demanding and easier stands with an unusual dropping crow with a crossing bird. My failed stand of the day was the sim pair left to right crossers. What was yours?
Many thanks to Brian and his team for setting up such a brilliant shoot. Many thank yous to Ann and Tony for the much-needed tea, coffee and biscuits served out of Brians trailer.

Michael 15Thank you to Brian and the Team for a great set up (as usual) and thanks to Tony and Anne for the much-needed drinks and biscuits.
We had a wonderful turn out – 30 shooters. We welcome Michael and Simon to the Club and hope that they enjoy themselves. It was a cold frosty day, with a little snow still on the ground. The negligible wind made for a fine day. I did here another local commercial shoot in the area cancelled because of the snow!

What a fantastic morning’s shooting. A chilly, frosty start that turned into a lovely sunny morning. Personally, I found it rather too warm under the layers of clothing.
We welcomed several guests and a new member – John F. We hope that he enjoyed shooting with us!
