Although the sun shone for most of the weekend the wind was a bit tricky and definitely on the chilly side giving everyone something to think about! This lead to some very tidy groups with the occasional shot being anti-social and avoiding the crowd! Despite the tricky wind six of the prizes were decided on count back due to tied scores!

With an entry of 31 competitors it is always good to see shooters coming from far and wide. This time I think the farthest was Blandford Forum in Dorset! It was particularly good to see a shooter from Wimbledon Park RC as we understand they have now managed to buy their range and are no longer under threat of losing it.

Full results are available here.

Many thanks to Richard for presenting the prizes and to all those that contributed to making it happen.

Future Competitions
