Dewar

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!

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.

Entries Pick up but Weather Doesn't !

While the number of entries continues to rise as we all work our way out of Covid, the weather had different ideas! The previous week had been warm and sunny but the weather closed in for the weekend of the shoot with temperatures dropping to single figures with overnight frosts.

For those "in the know" the event is referred to as the Dewar Trials. For the rest of us here's a little more information.

David White and Andy Meyers travelled to Appleton Range on Saturday 15th June 2019 to compete in the International Dewar Match GB Team Trial. 

The GB Dewar Postal Competition is a match against the USA and Commonwealth countries such as Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.
