Benchrest – Dartmoor vs West Devon Round 1
Another interesting day at West Devon Airgun club. Today we welcomed our friends from Dartmoor marksmen to the the first round of our winter BR challenge, as you can see from the score board they gave us another hiding.

SWEFTA Trophy Shoot – Phoenix AGC
The forecast for the day was absolutely terrible; 18 MPH winds gusting to 40 MPH and an 80% chance of rain from pretty much the start of the day… but forecasts can be misleading, or just wrong. The team at Phoenix AGC had really pulled out the stops for the hosting of their first SWEFTA […]
