On Sunday the 27th Dechmont hosted the penultimate round of the BR team event between DARPC vs Bedlay.

It was a terrible day with wind blowing around 11 MPH and changing direction from Right to Left and then straight into the shooters faces. Their was so much rain I was thinking "Wonder if there is a joiner build a ship and collecting animals 2 by 2."

Dechmont won by the narrowest of margins

DARPC 1185 27X
Bedlay 1172 24X

The overall point situation is

DARPC 5878 159 X
Bedlay 5823 118X

Your Top 3

Slawek Bedlay club 244 8X
Rob DARPC club 244 5X
Scott DARPC club 240 3X

Take a look at the picture. Is that a 5th BR position at DARPC ???

On Sunday pass we held a Charity Shoot for our fallen members Sinbad and John.
The club raised £952.00 for Erskine Veterans.
We had a couple of different comps
1) out and indoor Benchrest Event were only the "X's" counted
2) A shorten HFT course were members could try there hand using sticks and the more traditional way of shooting HFT.

The Benchrest outdoor was won by
Scott Hamilton form Bedlay with 7X's
and
The indoor was won by
Rob from DARPC with 12X'S

Fortunately there was no rain but the wind was reported at 17mph making hitting X's outdoors and In very difficult.

The important part was remembering our members and giving back to those who help the Vets

As a reminder our Charity open shoot is this Sunday. The club will be doubling all donations to Erskine Veterans.
