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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Delayed by a week but well worth the wait was the final round of the 2018 SWEFTA League at Dartmoor Marksmen. The course layout by necessity had not changed since our last visit but the position and sizes of many of the targets certainly had… easier? NO! Enjoyable? Yes indeedy.  The weather was kind and […]

Well you can always trust the folks at South Dorset to provide something different… no, not the brand new courses built at their brand new ground… the weather! After a summer of Sahara like conditions across the UK, South Dorset provided a monsoon, it is a great shame that more SWEFTA shooters did not choose […]

Scheduled only one week after the SWEFTA Grand Prix at the same venue, I knew we were in for some excellent course building when we visited East Devon at the weekend, and I was right. Also, thank goodness, the weather was just a touch cooler, so the oven that is the middle of the course […]

Well, what more could we have asked for, two challenging courses, excellent weather, great organisation, and a fine selection of cake. Huge thanks to all the guys’n’gals at Duchy for a thoroughly enjoyable day, and all the hard work put in to make it happen. Great to see some new faces and to see people […]

Weather more different from the last round at Buckley Wood it would be hard to imagine. West Devon was a picture of spring, with sunshine all day and a little cooling breeze which hardly caused any havoc on the FT course at all. Both the FT and HFT courses were up to the usual WD […]

I guess we should always be grateful for small mercies, Sunday’s mercy being that the 20 MPH wind that was forecast never arrived, although the wind that we did have along with the rain was trouble enough. Still, there was a cracking good turn out, added to by some visitors from Wales for the first […]
