There was a great turnout of 52 entries this month, including visitors, which included a party from Old Woking Gun Club – perhaps we should try and arrange a home and away fixture?
The weather was kind to most of us for the July shoot but Andy, Matt, Stuart, Chris and Des unfortunately got wet whilst setting up first thing on Sunday. Andy had to modify his planned layout to avoid sheep and electric fences meaning that a couple of the stands were towards the sun, making a couple of the targets harder to see. One stand that was definitely not affected by the sun was the varied sequence which seemed to be enjoyed by all – well done Andy for another interesting variation. Some people also struggled with the long crossing stand but again they were great targets and a chance to practice and improve.
The scores were predictably a little lower than average. High gun and the only score over 50 was Chris Samuel topping B Class with 51. Great shooting Chris!
Top of AA was Jason Stredwick with 49, just ahead of Kevin Scarlett on 48. Andy Willett did have time to shoot this month and scored 49 to win A class from Matt Oldland on countback. Nigel Foreman was also close behind on 48 and Peter Garland won C with 40.
Thanks to all the helpers including Matt, Stuart and Glen who turn up and help with the planning on Saturdays as well as staying to the end to help clear up on Sunday afternoon and practice their trailer reversing skills.
Skeet practice continues at NCSC Bisley on Wednesday evenings from 5pm to 7pm.
