Enjoyable shoot at the Doddershall shooting ground. Not warm, but amazing how for a brief few seconds we were warmed by the sun.

Practice Shoot at Ludgershall 19th February 2023
A lovely dry sunny day with a light wind saw us back at Ludgershall for a shoot. Good turn out and a new possible member. Alas he arrived late because the location instructions on the website were pointing to the old Ludgershall shooting ground. These have been corrected.
The scores on an an easier shoot that our previous shoot saw many scores in the forties with Mark H making a 46.

Practice Shoot at Doddershall 5th February 2023
The recent dry weather has allowed the land to lose some of its water. The shoot was on, though the traps had been moved onto and off the field by hand. Today was dry, the sky was blue and there was a light breeze. It was cold, though some shooters thought otherwise. A good turn out with 36 cards handed in at the end of the day.
A demanding shoot with nobody managing 40.

Fred Dymock Shoot 18th December 2022
Fred Dymock Shoot 18th December 2022
Maybe we had missed the intense cold from the previous days, it was still a chilly shooting day, the ground hard from the previous frosts, and a strengthening wind. It was scheduled to rain, but thankfully that held off.
The shoot was in memory of Fred Dymock. He always held a boxing day shoot on a piece of land on the crossroads this side of Quainton railway heritage site. The land became a car park for the heritage site, and now it is owned by HS2. We would shoot and stand next to a blaze in a large oil drum keeping warm, while we consumed whisky. Fred would construct some special clays which would distribute confetti when they were hit.
Today we shot 50 clays for the Fred Dymock Trophy. This is a handicapped shoot, based on previous scores through the year. The shoot was over 6 stands. During the tea break we also held a flurry with teams of three people.
After the shoot we went back to Ludgershall village hall for lunch and the prize giving. A lovely lunch was supplied by the club and prepared for us by the ladies.

Practice Shoot at Ludgershall 16th October 2022
Practice Shoot at Ludgershall 16th October 2022
A different shoot today, set up by Mark. (Dawn and Brian were away). We had 6 stands, shooting eight on each stand, and ten on the driven pair. It has been some time since we have shot a driven pair, and this caught many out. This correspondent welcomed the driven pair, it saved an otherwise disastrous score card.
The weather was excellent and unseasonably warm and still very dry underfoot.
