Target Shooting Course

We were joined by 9 young people today at the start of the 'Sportivate' course. The course started at 2pm, which coincided with an amazing thunderstorm, which continued throughout the afternoon!

It didn't seem to dampen their spirits though and all shot very well, taking home lots of soggy targets.

Richard demonstrated his flintlock rifle and everyone will have the opportunity to have a shoot of it during the course.

Hopefully the weather will be better next week and I'll remember to take some photos.

July Competitions

Just a quick reminder that there are two competitions during July - the Bill Grocock 3-position competition and the Benchrest Competition

We also have a couple of challenges running until the end of September. The .223 Challenge using the club rifle and the Junior Challenge using 3 different calibres. You can have multiple attempts in both, so if you don't shoot well the first time you can have another go!
