New Interclub Competition

We are introducing a new inter club competition with local shooting clubs

It will be a prone .22 rimfire competition on the 75m range and will be for the best group rather than the highest score.

We will be providing a shield, which will stay in the club house and will be engraved each year with the name of the winning club. There will also be small shields for the winning team members (3) and the 'best group'.

It will be on the May Bank Holiday on 2nd May. Put a note in your diary, it should be a fun day.

We've had 7 new members join us so far this year - a warm welcome to all of you and I hope you enjoy shooting with us


The February Competition is the Turning Targets, which will be held on the 12th and 26th Feb


We finally managed to get all the Eley Postal targets completed and the scores have been sent off. Hopefully we'll get some members through to the 2nd stage of the competition again this year. Will probably have to wait until late March before we find out.


And finally, if you have an air gun you need to be aware of a change in the law that comes into effect in February - this is from the BASC website

"From February 2011, the Crime and Security Act 2010 makes it an offence for a person in possession of an air gun to fail to take “reasonable precautions” to prevent someone under the age of 18 from gaining unauthorised access to it.
The legal advice contained within this publication remains unchanged e.g. 14-17 year olds may still use air guns unsupervised on private premises where they have permission etc."
The BASC have a very informative fact sheet "Young People and Airguns" which contains advice about reasonable precautions for storing air guns when not in use
