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 […]
FT or HFT
FT or HFT? Twenty years ago a typical SWEFTA event would have consisted of the main FT course and a selection of ‘side shoots’ such as long range, bell, snooker, and speed shoot, but invariably the most popular was the dump shoot, this consisted of targets, often unusually shaped ones, partially hidden behind […]
SWEFTA League Round 8 – East Devon
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 […]
SWEFTA League round 7 – Duchy
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 […]
SWEFTA League Round 6 – West Devon 2
I’m afraid I was not at this shoot, but I’ll bet it was a corker and I’ll bet the cake was excellent too… cake that I missed being able to eat, the shame of it, how will I ever live it down? Well, cos I ate lots of cake on my holiday, so, that’s all […]
SWEFTA League Round 5 – West Devon
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 […]
SWEFTA League Round 4 – Buckley Wood
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 […]
SWEFTA League Round 3 – Mendip
I’m afraid I wasn’t there myself, but the weather was superb as were both the courses, so well done to Tony and his team for all the hard work. Also thanks to Ann Farbrother for helping out with stats, this is part of what SWEFTA is all about. 2018 – Rd 03 – Shoot Scores […]

SWEFTA League 2 – North Petherwin
Well what an all round spanking good day we had in Cornwall. The weather was challenging, as was the course and the amount of work put in by the guys from North Petherwin and West Devon was evident, well done to all. Thanks also to Roger, helped by Nigel for running stats and the randomised […]
