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 […]
SWEFTA – Garden Bench Rest – Round 3
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 […]
SWEFTA – Garden Bench Rest – Round 2
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, […]
SWEFTA Garden Bench Rest – Round 1
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 […]
SWEFTA Winter League – Round 4 – Duchy
A really good day at Duchy FTC. Lots of hard work has gone on since our Summer visit last June. 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 […]
SWEFTA Winter League – Round 3 – Ashcombe AGC
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 […]

SWEFTA Winter League – Round 2 – Mendip
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 […]
SWEFTA Winter League – Round 1 – East Devon
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. […]
SWEFTA Bench Rest – September
The weather played silly games up on the Mendip hills this weekend, so as a result we only have two clubs active in the BR League this months. SWEFTA BR RESULTS – September
