BSSRA Fletcher cup .22 rifle shot at 25 yards indoor.

We struggled with a team this year due to a combination of ill health and holidays and the Royal Wedding and not at all to do with a lack of practice, however our numbers are dwindling and new members unlikely as the school’s indoor range is not used for inter-schools shooting as once it was.

The team comprised of

JH Croxton
BR Walford
A Reynolds
J Palmer
E Bedell  top score 92

Nick Peters shot a very good 98 but arrived too late to be counted.  We scored a 434 /500.  I thank all of the above for attending a good day.

Bisley 14July 2011       7.62mm Full bore shot at 500 yards

Bisley is regarded as a major focal point for the sport of shooting, both nationally and internationally and we are privileged to shoot there.  I arrived with plenty of time for a ritual cup of tea and cake on a warm summer’s afternoon with our veteran’s team.  We checked our 7.62 rifles for cobwebs and anything else we could blame a bad score on, as other teams relaxed in Gazebos with chilled drinks and state-of-the-art equipment, with blackboards scoreboards proudly displaying their schools’ scores for the day.
I looked at our groundsheet and old off-cut carpet and decided that would take the blame for any poor performance ….. not a lack of practice!

We managed to assemble a team which did well and the results are as follows.

John Walker        43.2
Adrian Reynolds 43.2
Brian Walford      44.1
Paul Duxbury       49.3
Mike Wood          50.5  a 'full house' again and this years inter team cup winner. Well done.

A much improved result from last year and a big thank you to the team who made the effort to attend.
