Now then Daz, sounds like a plan to me chap.

The old crystal testical has no idea what the weather will bring, but, fun should still be had.

The Free Prize Raffle for a bottle of Whisky, was won by M Bell (kindly donated by R Gillespie)

I would like to thank the Ratwife and Bear for their assistance in running the event, and all those who very kindly donated prizes.

The next shoot is on Sunday the 19th of June.

Please note:

The shoot on the 19th June has had to be cancelled, due to the need to hold a County Championships for the CPSA on that date.

A replacement date should be announced shortly.

Hello having only zeroed rifles,what does the shoot consist. of ie.type of target and distance .many thanks Chris

 

[Ratwhiskers]

Mornin' Chris.

The shoot is formatted on the DSC 1 profile, with 3shots at 100mtr sitting in simulated low seat, 3 shots at 75mtr sitting or kneeling on the floor with the aid of sticks and 3 final shots at 45mtr standing with the aid of sticks all at a Roe Buck target. There are also 3 shot taken from the simulated low seat at a Zero target.
All shots to count, and in the event of a tie, the best (group/nearest the bull) score on the zero target takes the day. (£5 for the comp' which is a single chance event. and £3.50 thereafter for practice/fun)
We also have a two shot pool shoot at 125mtr £1.00(always keenly contested) and a zero (three shots) card available £1.00
We start at 10.00hrs at the Penrith Shooting Ground (Bowscar) and end at about 15.30/16.00hrs

Regards.
