Another season done and dusted… it only feels like a few weeks ago we were heading to Purbeck. Here are the final scores for the league, don’t forget the Showdown and then the Trophy Shoot which is the first of the four winter league shoots, so get your long John’s and waterproof kit out as […]

Sunday morning I had to check my Sat Nav, yes, I am definitely at Dartmoor, but it is warm, and there is hardly a breeze and what little breeze there is seems to be drifting left to right rather than blasting in the opposite direction. And so the day began, and what a corker of […]

I think those that were there would agree that the shoot at Aschcombe was…. interesting. There were two interesting new courses, with lots of interesting reducers and well placed targets, the weather was fantastic and of course the wind was… interesting. It was great to see a whole host of new faces and returnees, and […]

Great to see so many shooters around the region really getting into and enjoying this series, I am really pleased to see it is starting to get a serious following.

The weather was kind to those of us stupid enough to wear gimp coats, the courses were both absolutely excellent, the catering was outstanding Roz and Ann keeping us fed and watered all day and then there was….

What a cracking good shoot West Devon was this year, the shoot was also round 2 of the 2019 SWEFTA v WAFTA so we had some additional shooters who had made the four to five hour trek from Wales, good to see you guys, just a shame about the result (for SWEFTA). Nigel, his family […]

We are back down to two clubs for June, but with a little bit of luck we will very shortly have five clubs involved in the Bench Rest league… oh joy! That will mean even more time slaving over a hot spreadsheet. With a little luck, July’s scores will include a lot of new names, […]

What a spanking good day we had at North Petherwin. The weather forecast for the most part was a downright lie as with the exception of a brief shower just after I had got my nice clean, dry FT rifle from its cosseted place in my car, it was dry all day. Windy mind…. oh […]

Mendip have now joined the fray, hopefully more clubs will soon join us. SWEFTA BR RESULTS – May 2019
