What an excellent day, the weather was just right, the courses were as prepared as it is humanly possibly to make them, there was even a spanky new HFT course to play on. Thanks to Ann and Roz for taking care of the stats, that left the small Mendip team free to shoot and marshal, […]

Well done to all those who have taken part this month, nice to see some new names on the lists. Hopefully a few more clubs will be joining the BR league very soon. SWEFTA BR RESULTS – April V2
SWEFTA League Round 3 – Duchy
Well the forecast rain did not happen, but the winds did and so more hardy souls than me took to shooting the two well prepared courses and had fun (?) doing so. Well done to all the shooters and well done to all at Duchy for the hard work. 2019 – Rd 03 – Shoot […]
SWEFTA Bench Rest Results – March
Sorry for the late posting of these results, but I have only just got a spreadsheet to do what I need. Only two clubs in it at present, ground breaking Dartmoor Marksmen and new boyz West Devon. Good tun outs at both shoots, so hopefully a few more clubs will get up and running now […]
SWEFTA League Round 2 – Shebbear
Unfortunately I was not able to attend the shoot but reports tell me there was lemon drizzle cake, so it must have been a good’un. Well done to all at Shebbear, I know a LOT of work went on prior to the shoot and clearly it all paid off. 2019 – Rd 02 – Shoot […]

I have just seen on Facebook that there will be no food available at the Dartmoor shoot this Sunday. There will be tea and coffee and some cake (thank goodness), so please make sure to bring some food with you.
SWEFTA League 2019. Round 1 – Purbeck
Well, what a difference dry conditions make, for starters we could actually see the courses. I don’t know if any changes had been made since SWEFTA last visit to Purbeck, but the courses were both deceptive and challenging, and as the wind slowly increased throughout the day, they didn’t get any easier. Good to see […]
SWEFTA Trophy Shoot
The format for the Trophy shoot will be 09:00 kick off as usual and the presentations will be at lunchtime (hopefully before the rain). Those that wish to shoot the second course will be able to after that. Forecast shows there might be heavy rain in the afternoon tomorrow, but I doubt it could be […]
