Practice Shoot at Quainton 17th March 2024

Good to be back shooting again. The rain has made the fields unsuitible for shooting on, resulting in a couple of cancelled shoots. Today we dis shoot and shot at Quainton, where we have a hard area to walk on. The wet fields still limited the type of targets which could be set. Thankfully the rain held off, the day was warm, and we had an excellant shoot.

Practice Shoot Doddershall 4th February 2024

Lovely day for shooting, warm, no rain, but a little breeze to keep those without jackets on the cooler side. Good turnout, so stand 6 was brought in to keep the queues short.

The results for the day.

Ludgershall Shoor

Practice Shoot Ludgershall 21st January 2024

This was our inaugural shoot of the year. Our previously planned gathering at Doddershall had to be called off due to rather excessive rain, leading to waterlogged fields. The fields have since dried out somewhat, with the ground proving to be firm, still bearing the frost from prior days. However, remnants of the previous night’s precipitation left puddles scattered about. We were all delighted to resume our sport.

Fred Dymock Shoot 17th December 2023

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

Fred Dymock Trophy Shoot

The Fred Dymock Trophy shoot was held on the 17th of December at our Ludgershall shooting ground. The organisers worked hard setting up the shoot, having to move many of the traps by hand owing to the soggy land. Thankfully, the rain held off during the shoot. Thank you to the many who stayed behind to help move the traps back into the trailers at the end of the shoot.

The shoot was the usual 50 bird, 5 stand shoot, with an added four-person flurry shoot at the tea break.

After the shoot and clear up, we made our way back to the village hall where there was a worthy feast awaiting us and our partners. An incredibly special thanks to the committee and helpers for providing a lovely Christmas meal.

During the meal, the shooting prizes were given out. The Fred Dymock trophy is a handicap shoot, and four randomly (?) selected results from previous shoots were used to seed the result. There were also prizes for various High Gun Categories.

Practice Shoot at Doddershall 3rd December 2023

The Kingswood clay shoot returned to Doddershall following a hiatus since October 1st due to unsuitable ground conditions caused by rain. Despite today’s shoot encountering less-than-ideal weather with intermittent drizzle, it efficiently proceeded, discouraging any delays. Notably, the traps necessitated manual positioning and were wheeled back to their trailers post-event. Gratitude is extended to all individuals who contributed to the cleanup efforts following the shoot.

Ludgershall 15th October 2023

It was another splendid day for our shooting event, and the recent rain hadn’t left the ground soggy. I’m truly delighted to be in the company of all of you today. A heartfelt thank you goes out to Shirley, Wally, Tod, and John for their invaluable assistance in setting up, and to Ann for her wonderful contributions with teas, coffee, and that scrumptious cake.

I’d like to offer my apologies for the clays that disappeared into the sunlight, making them difficult to track. I’m certain this may have impacted a few scores, but it seems that it didn’t deter the spirits of some of our sharpshooters.
