English Match September 2024
This year the English Match included our inaugural benchrest competition. We were not sure how many would enter, or how many prizes would be needed, but several people have mentioned that it would be a good idea. So we were pleasantly suprised when twelve competitors entered! Many thanks go to Malcolm Brain for making the benchrest prizes for us.
Dewar Open Shoot April 2024
A total of 23 competitors entered for the event with 3 having to withdraw at the last minute due to various issues. Although the rain stayed away for the first time in ages the wind remained tricky over the weekend and the temperature made it a bit difficult to feel the trigger!
However, this didn't stop David White maintaining his winning ways with top spot in Team of Three, Veterans Dewar, 40 shots @ 100yds, Single Dewar, and the Class A Aggregate.

Class A again had several notable candidates going up against some of East Grinstead's top shots, with Charles White (EGTSC) coming out on top 5 points clear of the rest.
