Practice Shoot at Doddershall

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

It felt that summer has at last arrived. Cloudless sky, lush green grass and a very light wind. We were entertained by a Spitfire performing some aerial acrobatics at the coffee break.  A big change from the previous Sunday’s league shoot which was bitterly cold. We had some 31 shooters turn up creating five squads.

Welsh shoot at St Brides Major

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

I thought that I would update you all on the success of the Welsh shoot down at St Brides on Sunday. 

I think for the first time ever the club did not need to hire a minibus as everyone drove down independently with many lift sharing to all meet at the Fox and Hounds car park for 10:00am. There were a record 21 shooters in total from Kingswood along with club friends. We then drove to the quarry and were warmly met by Gerald and the club. As usual the format was a 72 bird shoot held over 6 stands and we were split into mixed squads with one of their shooters heading each squad. 

Shooting in a quarry has many challenges as there is no blue sky but a rock face.  To assist in spotting the clays, orange coloured ones are used, and this helps. The shooting was challenging but nothing was impossible to hit even if the kill rate of each target varied. 

The high score for the day was 56 and our high gun was 53. 

After this we all went to The Star Inn at Wick for a great lunch where the results were announced, 460 to St Brides and 448 to Kingswood. So we lost by a mere 12 birds. We are looking forward to overturning this when they attend the return leg with us in August.

League shoot at Akeley – 11th February

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

The league shoot was held at Akeley. Parking on the road because of the water soaked field. Thought is was going to be a cold shoot, but further up the field the hedge sheltered us from the wind. The sunshine made it almost a pleasant day. Kingswood came fifth overall, and our high gun Dan shot a 37.

1st Akeley   303 12
2nd Crown   292 10
3rd Nags Head 278 8
4th White Lion 263 6
5th Kingswood 261 4
6th Marston Marauders 249 2

Practice Shoot 4th February 2018

There was a very good turnout for the practice shoot at Doddershall this Sunday. I little on the cold side, bight and sunny, but a little breeze to increase the chill factor. Some surprising scores today.
