A great big thank you to all the participants we had at our shoot on the 7th of June. We had 24 attendees, We had 9 from RRGC and 15 visitors of whom 9 were juniors or completely new to shooting.
For our winter shoot we set steel targets at 100m and paper scoring targets at 50m. Our Junior members were thrilled that they could take their score targets home (Bragging rights).
Some excellent scores were recorded I have listed them below.
100m steel targets
Craig 14
Neil 17
Steve C 6
Philip 8
Ross 4 then an 8
Damon 6

These targets become progressively smaller after every shot with the smallest being 5.5mm in thickness, So an excellent effort by everyone.

Hello everyone, We are looking ahead to shooting through the winter months. Due to the fact that we receive a lot of rain and wind during our winters we have designed a shoot that does not require the setting up of the two gazebos at the 50m mark. We are looking at setting up fun paper targets at 50m but still retaining the 100m steel targets. I have attached a couple of images of the targets we propose to use. They will be shot in sequence starting at the top then shooting at the targets coming down vertically and a diminishing dia. The large square targets at the top are the sighting target, then the scorers are vertically arrayed below them.
We hope this will keep the interest in the section going and offer an interesting challenge.
Our next shoot will be on Sunday may the 3rd.
Registration for our more experienced shooters 1045 shooting from 11 until 1230.
Registration for Newcomers, kids & Non FAL holders 1245 shooting from 130 onwards.

We do apologise in the delay in putting up this post.
We are happy to announce, 22lr are back on Range 2, this allows us to shoot 50m and 100m targets over the day.
Our first shoot was held on April 5th and was a great success. Our new timetable and shooting schedule worked very well.
Here are some results from the 100m shoot, top scores 17/20, 16/20 and 15/20.
50m scores, 16/20, 2 x 25/20 some of these scores were from first tiome shooters.
Anne and I were very busy during the shoot and forgot to take any images. We had had a full dress rehearsal on the previous and Wednesday and I managed to grab a quick video of the set up we now use this is the video which is attached.
Our next shoot will be on Sunday May the 3rd. Come along have some fun, all are welcome.
