Well, the weather has had a dramatic change of heart over the last few weeks, at least it has here in North Somerset and the wind during Round 6 of the GBR has been kinder. Of course the sun always shines and there is never a breath of wind where our BR guru Paul Salmon […]

Some have come, some have gone, some have come and gone but the hard core nutters remain. The last three weeks have seen a wide variety of weather conditions, from almost dead calm to unseasonably, gazebo liftingly, branch breakingly windy, and yet still our Number 1 shot continues to turn out high score after high […]

Another three cards, another set of totals. And since the last Round we have gained a couple of additional shooters including honorary SWEFTA member Peter Montanez, who joins us from his garden just five miles past the bit on the map of Devon that says ‘Here be Dragons’. Peter you are a most welcome addition […]

Another three cards and so another tally. In the last few weeks we have suffered boiling heat, enjoyed gale force winds and rain and shifted the GBR shoot from a Saturday to Sunday, none of which has managed to put The Maestro that is Paul Salmon off his game, and he takes another round. However, […]

From a conversation about the Covid 19 lockdown came an idea, that idea was offered via facebook to the shooters in SWEFTA and the garden bench rest competition began. Currently we have eight competitors, hopefully more will join in, it is a just for fun competition shot in back gardens, in fields, on private land […]

The conditions were somewhat tricky to read, with a swirling wind, light rain and some heavy hail (proper cornish weather). Many people, myself included found the conditions very hard to read, and for the last […]

Was a very blustery day out at Ashcombe AGC, however… The shoot was executed beautifully, some fantastic testing shots some that really did test people. The first targets on the course was cracking 54-yard starling with very little plate, it’s actually a harder shot to hit the plate that the kill so I will take […]

Here is a brief roundup of the SWEFTA BR league for 2019. SWEFTA Bench Rest Roundup  

Well, it was a cold day in the Mendip Hills, however, the few that braved the cold enjoyed the fantastic facilities and the brilliant shoot that was held. Not a single whistle or problem, something to be proud of. Tony, Neil and the Mendip crew did a fantastic job on the course and the running […]

I’m afraid I was not able to get to Round 1 of the shiny new Winter League, but I do know the weather was amazing and the courses challenging, although maybe not quite challenging enough for some! Well done to all at East Devon for all the work, looks like it was a fun day. […]
