Practice Shoot at Quainton 17th March

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

Thankfully 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.

A 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.

Thank 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!

After the shoot we ate at the Village Hall where the prizes were awarded. Thank you again, Brian and Dawn, with your team for setting up such a good shoot and flurry.

The 40 clay shoot was won by Tod, 38/40, high lady Jennifer and high junior was Harry.

League Shoot update

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

It was decided by the members at the AGM we would leave the league.  Anyone wishing to continue to shoot the league is invited to join the White lion. Alternatively, I’m sure any of the other clubs would welcome you. If you wish to contact the White Lion you can speak to either Paul Joblin or Dave Reeve.
