💥 THE ALL-ROUND ADVENTURE 💥

📅 SUNDAY 20TH SEPTEMBER
⏰ Shooting starts at 10:00am

Think you’re the best all-round shot at BEBside?

Think you can shoot DTL, ABT AND Sporting without embarrassing yourself?

Think you can keep your excuses to a minimum?

😂 Right then… PROVE IT.

🏆 100-TARGET ALL ROUND COMPETITION

🎯 25 Single Barrel DTL
🎯 25 ABT
🎯 50 Sporting

Entry:
💷 Members: £18
💷 Non-members: £24

Three disciplines. One score.
No hiding. No blaming the trapper. No claiming you were “just warming up.” 😂

By the end of the day, we’ll know who’s genuinely got the all-round game…

…and who’s just really good at talking about how good they normally are. 🤣



💰 ALSO ON THE DAY…

🔥 25 SPORTRAP 🔥

Members: £5
Non-members: £6

🏆 £260 PRIZE FOR A PERFECT 25/25!

£260 for 25 straight.

TWENTY-FIVE.

Not 24 and “that one was definitely a no-bird.”
Not 23 and “I was looking at the wrong target.”
Not 22 and “I’ve not shot Sporting for six months.” 😂

25/25. Simple. 🎯💷



🎯 50 SPORTING PRACTICE

Members: £9
Non-members: £12

Get some practice in before the All Round…

Or just come along to discover that the targets are, in fact, not getting any easier. 😂



📋 SQUADDING THE ALL ROUND

The All Round will be squadded, so get your name down ASAP.

Don’t leave it until Sunday morning and stroll in asking:

“Any chance you can squeeze me in?” 👀

You know who you are. 😂

Get booked in, get your cartridges sorted and start practising those excuses now — because you’re probably going to need them.

🎯 BEBSIDE SPORTING CLAYS – TODAY’S SHOOT 🎯

Well… 38 shooters turned up today, which isn’t exactly what you’d call a stampede! 😂

We’re hoping the slightly disappointing turnout had something to do with the biblical rain between 10am and 12pm. 🌧️☔ Honestly, Noah would have been looking for the boat.

If you decided to stay at home, you missed out because today’s targets were fantastic, entertaining and a proper variety. There was something to frustrate absolutely everyone — which, as you know, is how we like it! 😜

A quick explanation for those who noticed Bob was a little late getting the entries taken. We were struggling to get the shoot running on time this morning. We had just THREE volunteers turn up to help with the setup, and when you throw in a couple of blown fuses, remotes deciding they’d rather not participate and the usual little gremlins, it creates a knock-on effect.

I ask for volunteers every week, but unfortunately it’s always the same few faces doing the graft. So, a massive thank you to those who did turn up and get stuck in. 👍

For everyone else… you know where we are. 😏
The targets don’t set themselves, you know!

🔥 SPORTRAP 🔥

The Sportrap was another belter, with targets that certainly gave the better shooters something to think about.

The simo pair of the battue and looper on Peg 3 was an absolute standout — a cracking pair and easily one of the highlights of the day.

And now, as promised, a special mention for Ray WRay Wintripy was understandably a little disheartened after shooting 2/8 on Stand 4 — yes Ray, THAT stand… the allegedly easy one! 😂

But what happened next deserves some serious credit.

Ray absolutely smashed it on the Sportrap, hitting every single simo pair. He only dropped two teals and a battue to finish on 22/25.

That was the highest score of the day, equalled by StuarStuart Dawson
Stu’s 22, however, perhaps wasn’t quite as aesthetically pleasing as Ray’s… Stu appeared to adopt the “spray enough pellets in the general direction and eventually some of them will hit” technique. 😂

Still, a 22 is a 22 — we’re not checking pellet trajectories! 😉

Unfortunately, there was no 25/25, so the prize pot rolls over and we’ll add another £5 to it.

💰 NEXT SHOOT: £260 TO SHOOT FOR! 💰

So get yourselves down to Bebside, bring your cartridges, bring your waterproofs, and preferably bring your shooting ability as well.

And if you’ve got a spare morning, come and volunteer. We genuinely need the help, and it would be nice to see some new faces doing the graft rather than the same poor sods every week! 😂

Thanks again to everyone who came along, especially those who helped set up.

See you at the next one! 🎯

🌿🔫 WHEN YOU ASK FOR A LITTLE PRUNING… 😂

All I did was ask our Head Groundsman, Ray Wintrip, to “prune a couple of branches” off a bush so I could throw a decent crosser…

Well… Ray heard “obliterate all shrubbery within a 40ft radius.” 🤣

Safe to say, I’ve now got rather more space than I was expecting! 🌳💥

So, let’s see what I can do with my brand-new throwing ground this Sunday… 👀

📅 Sunday 6th September
⏰ Shooting starts at 10:00am
🎯 50 Sporting + 25 Sportrap
💷 And there’s a £255 CASH PRIZE for anyone brave/skilled/lucky enough to shoot a perfect 25/25! 💰

Come along, have a shoot, and see whether Ray’s enthusiastic landscaping has actually improved the targets… or just given me more ways to embarrass myself! 😂

See you Sunday at Bebside Sporting Clays! 🎯🌿

🚨 THE MADNESS IS OVER… FOR NOW! 🚨

After an absolutely bonkers August at Bebside Sporting Clays with the 5-Man Team Shoot and our 100 Target Open Shoot, we’re pleased to announce that the volunteers have survived, the trap batteries are getting a rest, and we can finally take our foot off the gas! 😂

That means it’s back to our normal club shoots this coming Sunday 6th September!

There’ll be a completely fresh set of targets waiting for you, with something to entertain everyone from C Class right through to A Class.

🎯 50 Sporting
🎯 25 Sportrap

The 50 Sporting will be shot over 6 stands, with plenty of variety to keep you on your toes. There’ll be some straightforward ones, some tricky ones, and probably at least one that you’ll swear was impossible after missing it three times! 😂

💷 50 Sporting
👉 £9 Members
👉 £12 Non-Members

For those wanting a proper challenge, we’ve also got our 25 Sportrap! 🔥

💷 25 Sportrap
👉 £5 Members
👉 £6 Non-Members

💰 £255 CASH PRIZE FOR ANYONE WHO SHOOTS A PERFECT 25/25! 💰

So no pressure… just try not to bottle it on the last target! 😬

🕙 Shooting starts at 10:00am

Get yourselves down to Bebside this Sunday for some great shooting, plenty of banter and another cracking day at the club.

Bring your mates, bring your cartridges… and if all else fails, bring a good excuse! 🤣

See you Sunday! 👋

🎯 BEBSIDE SPORTING CLAYS – SUMMER OPEN SHOOT RESULTS 🎯

A massive thank you to everyone who turned up for today’s Summer Open Shoot, whether you tackled the 50 targets or the full 100!

We had a fantastic entry of 55 shooters, although a few scorecards appear to have gone missing in action… perhaps some scores were best left unrecorded! 😂

The feedback on the targets was brilliant, and it was great to hear so many positive comments throughout the day. We tried to put on a good mix of entertaining targets, and judging by the laughter, groans and occasional colourful language, the simo pair of rabbits definitely stole the show! 🐇🐇💨

Most importantly, it was another cracking day with an excellent friendly atmosphere around the ground. Plenty of banter, plenty of laughs and some seriously impressive shooting.

🏆 Today’s top three:

🥉 Joint 3rd Place
Rachel Tweddell & Josh Osborne – 86/100
Winning £10 each

🥈 2nd Place
Our very own local legend, veteran campaigner and apparently still capable of occasionally putting in a decent score… Ian Mullarkey with 87/100, winning £40! 👴😂

For years Ian has been dining out on stories of how good he used to be… but today it looks like there may be a new sheriff in town!

🥇 HIGH GUN – 1st Place
The new kid on the block, Rob Lewis, absolutely showed the old timers how it’s done with a jaw-droppingly impressive 96/100! 🤯🔥

Rob takes home £60 and, more importantly, appears to be making a serious move for Ian’s crown.

Is this the beginning of a changing of the guard at Bebside Sporting Clays? 👑😂
Has Ian finally met his match?
Or was Rob’s 96 just beginner’s luck?!

Only time will tell… but we suspect Ian may already be polishing his excuses for next Sunday! 🤣

Seriously though, fantastic shooting Rob and congratulations to all our prize winners. Well shot everyone! 👏

A huge thank you as well to all of our members who helped out today, both setting up before the shoot and packing everything away afterwards. Events like this don’t happen without people giving up their time, and we really appreciate it. 💪

🎯 THE GOOD NEWS…

We’ll be shooting again this coming Sunday – 6/9/26!

There will be a completely new set of targets, so nobody can claim they’ve practised them beforehand!

🔸 50 Sporting
🔸 25 Sportrap

And if that isn’t enough to tempt you…

💰 £255 CASH PRIZE 💰
for anyone who can shoot a perfect 25/25 on the Sportrap!

No pressure then… 😅

Thanks again to everyone who came along and helped make today such a success. We hope to see plenty of familiar faces — and some new ones — next Sunday.

Can Rob defend his crown?
Can Ian prove he’s not quite ready for the retirement home? 😂
Can anyone take home the £255 Sportrap prize?

Only one way to find out… 🎯🔥

See you all next Sunday at Bebside Sporting Clays!

🎉 HAPPY 75th BIRTHDAY, BOB! 🎉

Today we’d like to wish our very own Bob Turnbull a very happy 75th birthday! 🥳🍰

As you can see from the photo, Bob is absolutely thrilled about seeing you all tomorrow… or at least we think that’s what that award-winning smile means! 😁💨 (Although some are suggesting it might just be wind…)

At 75 years young, Bob is still doing his bit for the club — and then some! Quite honestly, Bebside Sporting Clays wouldn’t run without him. From his welcoming and friendly attitude to his endless hard work behind the scenes, Bob is one of those people who is simply part of the furniture… admittedly, very old furniture now! 😂

So why not come along tomorrow, Bank Holiday Monday 31/8/26, for our 100 Target Open Shoot and wish the birthday boy well in person.

We’re sure Bob will be there to greet you with his usual warm welcome, friendly banter and that famous smile… whether it’s genuine happiness or just trapped wind remains open to debate! 💨🤣

Happy 75th Birthday Bob — and thank you for everything you do for Bebside Sporting Clays! 🎂🎉

See you all tomorrow! 👋🎯

What. A. Day. 🤘🏽🏆

Today we hosted the Tri County 5-Man Team Shoot at Bebside, and what a turnout! The weather was absolutely spot on ☀️, the targets were entertaining, challenging and, most importantly, made you THINK. 🎯

The Sportrap was bang in the sweet spot — not too easy, not too hard, just enough to have everyone thinking, “Surely a straight is there…” 😏

🥇 High Gun — Rob Lewis, 45/50

Rob was tied on 45 with Lee Curry, but took the High Gun on countback. Commiserations Lee… so close! 😜

And Rob wasn’t finished there…

💰 Rob Lewis also took the £75 High Gun prize on the Sportrap with a cracking 24/25! 🎯🔥

A special mention to Louise Gibbs, who shot a fantastic 44/50. Brilliant shooting, Louise! 👏🏼

🏆 Tri County Team Trophy Winners — Marne Shooting Ground

Congratulations to:
• Lee Curry
• Louise Gibbs
• Scott Emmerson
• John Longstaff
• Jonathan Blythe

And if that wasn’t enough, Marne also took the Team Flush with an impressive 84/100! 🔥

Now, the flush…

Well… that was batsh*t crazy. 😂

There were multiple clays in the air at the same time and, in amongst the carnage, I’m fairly sure there were moments when people weren’t entirely sure whether they were shooting the targets or just firing at whatever was currently passing their face! 🤣

I would have slowed it down… but by the time we realised it needed slowing down, it was already too late.

Talk about closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. 🐎💨😂

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came along and supported the shoot. It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces and, just as importantly, plenty of new ones.

To all the new shooters who joined us today — we really hope you enjoyed your day and that we’ll see you back at Bebside again soon. 👍🏼

Huge thanks also to our scorers and buttoners, who kept everything ticking along, and to all our members who helped with the setup and pack away. These shoots don’t happen without you, and your help is hugely appreciated. 👏🏼

And finally, thank you to every single person who came along, shot, laughed, competed and generally helped make today what it was.

Fantastic turnout. Fantastic weather. Great targets. Great company.

We’ll take that! 🍻🎯

And don’t forget…

📅 We’ll see you all next Bank Holiday Monday for our Summer 100 Target Open Shoot! 🎯🔥

Get it in the diary — we’ll be ready for another belter!
