Practice Shoot Doddershall 6th June
The weather was not quite as ordered, a little sprinkling of rain during the shoot. Wind conditions thankfully were kind, and I did not freeze in my tee shirt and shorts. Looks like it was a hard shoot, with nobody in the forties. Some rather distant incoming clays shorting out the good shots from the bad.

Practice Shoot at Quainton 16th May
Despite the weather forecast, the rain held off and we had an enjoyable shoot on a warm sunny day with little wind.
A reminder, please keep your speed low as you drive down the lane past the house to the farm buildings. Ten MPH is fast enough.

Practice Shoot Doddershall 2nd May
Another good shooting day, dry ground, no rain and light wind. An excellent shooting layout with 6 stands had been set up for us, ready to start at 10. I must thank the volunteers, especially the gun shop, DBGuns for setting up these excellent shoots.

Practice Shoot Ludgershall 18th April
Sunny day, with light wind for the shoot. Very pleasant. In this shoot, we had 6 stands set up, and one waiting stand. During the T break, there was a short AGM, with the main AGM delayed until later in the year when the pubs will be open for large groups, (hopefully). Jennifer stepped down from secretary, being replaced by Dawn. Paul was elected to the committee.

Practice Shoot Doddershall 4th April
On the 29th March 2021, the long-awaited day outdoor sport and leisure facilities could resume. Our first shoot was scheduled and held on the 4th April 2021 on a lovely spring day with blue skies, firm dry ground and a light wind. What more could we want, other than I high score. In celebration of the start of shooting and Easter, we were treated to dainty Easter chicks and eggs for our mid-shoot tea and coffee break. Special awards were handed out to the first shooter who straightened each stand. One stand, the rabbit, managed to remain unclaimed.

Our first shoot after Lockdown 2, was held at Quainton on a quiet, cool, misty Sunday.

With a few dry days the land was still solid, so shooting at Ludgershall was on. Seven stands were set up, and we were divided into eight squads for the shoot. A very still day, so no excuses for missed targets. That said, there were some demanding crossers, and a large number of pickups where they landed.

After all the rain from the previous days, the Doddershall shooting ground was under water, making in impossible to access without damaging the ground. The shoot was cancelled.
A very good turnout for our Sunday shoot. It was a warm dry September morning shoot with seven operational stands, and one waiting stand to cope with the large turnout. One very tricky stand with a following pair of clays from a tower caused problems with many shooters. Many blanking this stand.
