Practice Shoot 4th February 2018

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by
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.

League shoot at Poundon – 14th January

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

The Crown hosted the 1st leg of the Winter League shoot on the 14th January at Poundon. The previous Winter League event had been cancelled due to snow.  This has been rescheduled to the 25th March and will be hosted by Kingswood, probably at our Quainton shooting ground.

The Poundon shoot had some taxing targets.  A short video of some of the Kingswood team shooting one stand in a corridor between the barn and other agricultural artefacts

Practice Shoot 21st January 2018

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

The Kingswood Gun Club practice shoot took place this Sunday at our Quainton ground. The cold weather and snow put a few shooters off. Those you braved the inclement weather enjoyed a good shoot and some lemon drizzle cake at the break.

Our first practice shoot of the new year was held at Doddershall. Bright sunny day, with a cold stiff Easterly breeze kept as all cool. A good turn up with some new faces.  Next week there is the league shoot at Poundon.

Practice Shoot 17th December 2017

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by
A good turnout for our Christmas shoot. A 30 bird sporting followed by a 3 man flurry. Thank you to those that brought mince pies, sausage rolls and cake. Very much appreciated and enjoyed by all. There was a short presentation before the start of the flurry, which was held in an arctic storm. I hav added some pictures to show the devastation being caused to our shooting ground by the start of the work on the HS2 line.

League shoot at Quainton – 10th December (CANCELLED by snow)

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

It was our turn to host the league shoot. The third time this year. The shoot was set up on the Saturday, seven stands in all. We were a little restricted on how to set up the shoot. HS2 had taken residence on one field, the field we normally shoot from.  They are about to dig a large 22 acre pond, presently there is an archaeological dig.

Sunday came and there was several inched of snow during the night, and there was still a blizzard. The shoot was cancelled. Despite the poor conditions, the traps were retrieved that day.

A nice shoot set up by Brian. There was a rather demanding crossing bird which seemed to survive most shots.

Anyone who has not yet paid the subs, please do so. A reminder that next Sunday is the league shoot at Quainton. We are hosting it. We need everyone there early to fill the traps and score the cards.
