We had a good day for our February shoot.
Although it was very wet underfoot, the forecast heavy rain did not materialise, so we had fine weather for setting up, shooting and putting away. Thank you to all those who helped this weekend.
We had yet another great range of targets, including some ‘now you see them, now you
don’t’ if you were unlucky with your timing and cloud cover.
Glen Boxall won A Class on 53, despite missing four targets on the rabbit stand. Peter Saich started strongly at the other end, with 30 out of 30 over the three stands, but slipped to three sevens on the ‘tricky’ end to finish in second place on 51 and returning to form, James Horrod took third place with 49.
Jason Stredwick was the clear winner in B Class with 51. He also had problems with the
rabbit stand, dropping five targets then only missed four more across the next five stands. Equal second in B Class were Ian Hargreaves and James Faulkner on 46 each.
C Class was very close with Jerry Sollick and John Martin both scoring 45, but Jerry took the trophy with two ‘straights’ to John’s one. Charles Duncan was third with 39.
The full results of February’s trophy competition are at the bottom of this report.
Winter Series 2023-2024
Andy Willett dropped below his usually high average but had done enough already to win the A Class Winter Series by a large margin. He finished on 160 for his first three shoots, leaving Glen Boxall in second with 149 and James Horrod in third on 146.
B Class was close, with James Faulkner taking the honours on 143, with Jason Stredwick one behind on 142 and Ian Hargreaves in third place on 140.
The winner of C Class was Ron Turner on 121, equal second were Peter Garland and James Oakford with 115 and Charles Duncan on 112 was third.
