Shoot Report – Peter Saich

Well, what a morning! Andy is busy with a house move so the set up was courtesy of Matt Oldland with assistance from Stuart – Thanks chaps, great effort. We think it was a good layout but couldn’t really see the targets through the rain! The weather also had a negative effect on the scorecards. Some were returned very wet and stuck together with mud, some were re-written on fresh cards with just a total and some were ‘postal’ entries by text or email.

We had a surprising 42 entries and there seemed to be some good scores in all classes with provisional winners as follows:

A Class James Faulkner 53.

Joint runners up Peter Saich, Andy Wallace and Matt Neville with 50.

B Class Aaron Wiggins 48.

C Class Dom Walker 45. Runner up Ian Parish 40.

I am still missing around ten scores so if yours has dried out and is readable please send me your score – especially if you think you have a claim to the classes above.

A massive thank you to those who stayed to clear up and get the traps and other equipment back into storage.

Here’s hoping for better ground and weather conditions next month.

The results of the 2025-2026 Winter Series will be published shortly…

Shoot Report – Peter Saich

There was a bumper turnout for our January Handicap Pairs competition with 50 members and 11 guest cards returned. Thank you.

Thank you to Andy and Glen for all your work on Saturday setting traps out with horrible ground conditions so that we could all stay generally on the paths and avoid the worst of the mud.

The targets proved a bit tougher than the December shoot when 24 out of 56 members scored over their average with a combined score and handicap of over 60, while only 6 out of 50 members improved on their average this month. There was still some good scores from A Class with Top score of the day by Glen Boxall with 50. Second was Matt Neville on 48 with James Horrod and Matt Olldland just behind on 47.

In the Handicap Pairs event, James Faulkner kindly drew the scorecards at random and paired them up, which resulted in a win for Dom Walker and Peter Saich on a combined total of 123.64

Second were Alex Wells and Mick Ragless with 119.09

Third were Jan Wallace and Ant Neil on 117.70

Thanks as ever to the usual team who helped set up and also those who stayed until 2.45 to ensure that everything was collected and safely stored ready for next time.

Next month is a return to our usual format with three classes and ‘first past the post’ for trophies (and promotion!).

The Club AGM and prizegiving is booked for 19.30 at the Bisley Clubhouse on Thursday 12th February. There will be a buffet provided and a bar is available. Please come and support the committee and have your vote in electing the Officers and Committee for this season. Nominations / Volunteers for Committee welcome in advance as per Club rules.

And finally, subscriptions are due if you have not already paid them.

December 2025

Shoot Report – Peter Saich

What a difference a year makes! In December 2024 we had 38 members and 4 guests shooting. This year we had 58 members and 10 guests shooting – a great testament to the behind the scenes work by Andy and Matt to produce a constantly varied and interesting layout whatever the weather and ground conditions. There are also many others involved with planning and running such a successful day so thank you to everyone who helped in making our Christmas shoot a great success.

Top of AA for the final time this year was Nigel Foreman with 49.

Winning A Class (finally) was Peter Saich on 52. Des Park was second on 49 and Jim Hackett was third with 48.

B Class winner on 48 was Mike Collins. Simon Spencelayh was second on 44. Aaron Wiggins and Ron Turner both scored 41 in equal third place.

C Class was won by Dom Walker with 37. Second was Mark Searle on 32 with Stuart Hulme in third with 31.

All class scores are listed below.

The handicap competition was close as usual with Andy’s carefully worked out figures to two decimal places. Winner of the Warsop Memorial Trophy was one of our newer members, Lindsey Hackett whose combined score and handicap gave her 68.60, marginally ahead of Simon Spencelayh on 68.50. Dom Walker’s winning C Class Score gave him third place on 68.33. Very well done to all three of you.
24 members scored more than 60, meaning that they all beat their average, so Andy’s handicap calculations and shoot difficulty was just right.

In other news, last year’s raffle run by Peter Saich raised £125 profit for Club funds going towards paying for Pizza and prizes. This year Peter’s daughter Jenny and granddaughter Lauren ‘volunteered’ to run the raffle and made an amazing £305 profit. Thank you to all those who donated prizes and bought tickets, and of course thanks to Jenny and Lauren – are you free to help again next year?

I hope you all have a great Christmas and I am already looking forward to next season.

November 2025

Shoot Report – Peter Saich

After 18 degrees mid-week we definitely had a November morning for our shoot today with drizzle early on while the team were setting up and cooler temperatures throughout the morning.

A great layout set up by Andy and Glen and to use Glen’s words, there were some nice angles and speeds to make it very interesting.

We had our best entry of the year with 57 people shooting today, meaning that Andy and Matt had to refill some traps during the morning – Well done chaps for keeping it all running smoothly.

There were some very good scores in all classes, with Glen taking top spot in AA with 56. Kevin Scarlett was second with 53.

James Faulkner also scored 53 to win A Class. Chris Wells was second on 49 with Alex Blackwell and Des Park tied on 48.

In B Class, Gary Evans scored a superb 54 – Yes, we did double check his adding up and the handicap committee have been notified – Seriously though, great shooting Gary with four straight stands. This was bad luck for Alan Davis who scored 50 in B Class and was only in second place!

C Class was a clear win for Barry Taylor with 45. Dom Walker, one of our newer members was second with 39 while Mick Ragless was third on 38.

Thank you to everyone who helped set up and clear away this weekend. Andy will be making it three days in a row while he awaits a delivery of six pallets of clays tomorrow.

Next month is our Christmas Handicap shoot so let’s see how all the above scores affect the handicaps. There will be a prize for each member staying for the prizegiving. We will also be providing some food to keep you entertained while we work out the handicap positions and there will be a raffle so bring some extra cash – Donated prizes also gratefully accepted.

October 2025

Shoot Report – Peter Saich

Firstly, a massive thank you to the committee for planning and running a shoot for the Onslow Family at Clandon Park on Saturday – there were around thirty guests, mostly novices who were coached and looked after over a range of targets with a mini flush at the end. The bottom line is that we get a huge amount of goodwill from our landlord and a significant reduction in our annual rent, which helps to keep down the cost of member’s shooting. Many of the team of helpers were on site from 8.00 a.m. yesterday morning, leaving past 5.00 p.m. and then back at Clandon on Sunday morning to add more stands and tweak some targets. This was a great team effort for the good of the Club and I am sure that my thanks are endorsed by the whole of the membership.

There was a bumper turnout of 51 shooters today despite the forecast rain, which happily kept away while we were shooting, but unfortunately started as we began to clear up. Andy had utilised some of the targets from yesterday but by making them simultaneous pairs made some relatively straight forward targets more testing, with an element of making your mind up which to attempt first, and trying not to rush either target. There has been some good feedback today on the layout and as we got 51 people through in less time than usual, this is something that we will consider again. Top scorer today was Nigel Foreman, winning AA with 50. There was a close finish in A Class, with Andy Wallace taking the honours with 47, just ahead of Gavin Smith and James Faulkner on 46. There were similar scores in B Class with James Oakford winning on 47, with Chris Gummer second with 46. In C Class, Mike Thackery won on 38, with Stuart Hulme in second place with 36 and Jan Wallace in third on 35.

Shoot Report – Peter Saich

Thanks to Andy and Matt and other helpers for the set up and also thank you to those who stayed to help clear up and get the equipment safely stored away. Any additional help at the end of a long morning is greatly appreciated.

There was a great turnout today with 48 people shooting including 35 members. We only had 44 cards returned so please remind your guests that we would like their cards returned in case they wish to join in the future.

The average score today was 36 compared to 42 last month. Yet more new and interesting targets including a stratospheric driven Midi – Who let Andy buy a new spring? The unexpected sun was a bit of a handicap on some stands – serves us right for listening to the weather forecast which predicted cloudy conditions….

Glen Boxall had the top score in AA Class with 50. Trevor McCabe won his first A Class Trophy with the Club with a good score of 46, one ahead of Peter Saich who was shooting with his side by side.

There was a great score of 47 from Nigel Hebburn to win B Class, and Adrian Smith won C Class with 33, just ahead of Stuart Hulme on 31 and Otis Oakford (J) on 30.

In the Surrey CPSA Side by Side event run concurrently with our monthly shoot, Chip Smith shot a superb 52 to retain the Trophy. Peter Saich was second with 45 and Scott Marshall was third with 44.

In the non Surrey CPSA members class, Matt Oldland triumphed over Andy Willett to take the Webley and Scott Trophy.

Shoot Report – Peter Saich

Thanks as usual to the set-up team, especially Andy who managed to spread the traps in and around the wood meaning less walking for the shooters as we were able to stick to the newly cleared circular route.

Thanks also to the small working party who stayed to the end to help clear everything out of the woods and get it safely away. Any future help would be much appreciated – a few people staying to help with the little jobs – tidying up cartridges, emptying traps, taking down stands etc enables the core team to concentrate on getting all those traps on the trailers in the correct order so that they all fit in and then get home a little earlier.

There were 35 members and 7 guest cards returned. The average score was 42, the highest this year although this doesn’t mean that the layout was easy, just well thought out, sensible targets as usual and again some stands making you think which target to take first.

Equal top scores of 54 in AA were Kevin Scarlett and Andy Willett. Also scoring 54 to win A Class was Nigel Foreman, with Peter Saich one behind on 53.

It was also close in B class with Gavin Smith beating Alex Wells on countback on number of straights after both finished on 49.

In C Class, Lorina Warsop was the clear winner scoring 39. John Hughes was second with 36 and Chris Grist was third with 35.

Our next shoot combines the Surrey CPSA Side by Side Championship so you have the option of dusting off the pair of Purdeys or bringing out grandad’s old pigeon gun. There is a trophy for the highest Surrey CPSA Member, and also the Webley and Scott Trophy for anyone else using a Side by Side. Andy usually does his best to provide ‘sympathetic’ targets so expect Pheasant, Partridge, Grouse or Rabbit targets.

Shoot Report – Peter Saich

Firstly, thank you to the working party of Glen, Stuart and Andy who went to Clandon on Friday afternoon to clear some undergrowth and improve paths and access in the shooting area. The professional equipment that Glen brought along made light work of large areas very quickly.

Thank you also to James and Rob for taking delivery of 48,000 cartridges this week, then loading some of them onto Rob’s pick-up for distribution today.

Some of our 48,000 cartridges

There was a smaller entry than the last couple of months with people either on holiday or avoiding the forecast rain. In the end there wasn’t much rain and the 38 members were treated to another great and varied layout today, some designed by Andy and others by Matt. There were two stands of simultaneous pairs where you had to make up your mind which one to shoot first (and then probably change part way through) and a sometimes seemingly indestructible rabbit!

Best to cope with these well thought out targets was Glen Boxall, winning AA Class with 54.
Jason Stredwick was top of A Class on 50, ahead of Peter Saich and Des Park in joint second on 48, but the performance of the day was Chris Wells hitting a magnificent 53 to win B Class. He was 9 targets clear of Gary Evans in second place on 44. Keeping it in the family, Alex Wells was third with 43. In fourth place with 42 was our newest member Chris Gummer. Welcome Chris.
In C Class, Jon Watson did one better than his second place last month to win with 42. John Hughes was second this time with 36 and Stuart Hulme was third with 35.

A big thank you to those few who braved the late rain to stay to the end and help get everything safely away.

Shoot Report – Peter Saich

Another great shoot on Father’s Day with 52 cards returned. Andy had worked particularly hard this week as he planned a layout utilising the wood, but at the request of the Gamekeeper to avoid that area, he planned layout ‘B’. Andy then went to Clandon to do a recce to check positions of livestock, electric fences etc. and found that his layout needed to be altered yet again to avoid trampling the hay which is due for cutting. Example layout

There were 45 members shooting including Spencer Jordan who has just joined as a Junior. He is Peter Saich’s grandson and is the fourth generation of the Saich Family to have been members of the Club.



Welcome Spencer.

Despite the distraction of having to carry out trap repairs including running adjustments to the troublesome rabbit stand and fetching more clays for the ‘self-emptying’ Battue trap, Andy shot brilliantly and scored 54 to win A Class including 5 straights. Second was Peter Saich on 52 and Rob Beere hit 51. Rob deserves a special mention as he drove up from his home in Devon in the morning, drove around picking up the traps and stayed to the end putting everything safely away, then left at 2.30 to drive home to Devon. Rob says he does it because he likes our Club! Thanks Rob and well shot.

Things were not so clear cut in B Class with a three-way tie on 45 between Des Park, Jerry Sollick and newly promoted Ron Turner. Using our count-back system of the number of straights, one away etc, Des won, Jerry was second and Ron was third. Well done to all.

In C Class, Charles Palmer won with an impressive 46.

Thanks to all those who helped set up, especially Stuart and Matt, and to everyone who stayed to help clear up.

Skeet evenings continue at NCSC Bisley on Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. – Just turn up, no need to book. There is also an opportunity to shoot on their Sportrap layout if you want some Sporting Practice (just like Charles Palmer did). Let Peter or Andy know in advance and we should be able to arrange it.

Shoot Report – Peter Saich

Good weather and another great turnout for the May shoot with 44 members plus 8 guests cards handed in. There was another great layout thanks to Andy and Matt. The sequence was fun and caught a few people out, including Andy who was looking for the wrong pair and none of his squad reminded him.

Kevin Scarlett won A Class with 54. Jason Stredwick was second with 52 and Andy was third with 50 despite not shooting at one of the sequence pairs. Chip Smith comes and supports us when he is not on England or GB duty because he likes Andy’s targets. Chip completely mis-read the quartering targets on stand 2 and missed all four, but he then only missed one other target all morning. Great shooting Chip and just goes to show how clever Andy’s targets are. You have to think about all of them which keeps it interesting and keeps some of us coming back time after time.

In B Class, there was a tie for first place between Chris Flanders and Gavin Smith who both scored 47, but Chris takes the win on countback with two straights to Gavin’s one.

Ron Turner scored an excellent personal best 48 to win C Class. John Hughes also shot very well in C Class but had to settle for second with his score of 45.

Thank you to all of the set up and break down helpers, and to everyone who came to shoot and support our club.
