Good evening all,Please see attached the results for the DM 2025 benchrest shoot, round 9, and the final best 7of 9 Well done to all shoot this year some fantastic scores and personal improvement this season. Winter friendly shoot is coming soon with our friends up in West Devon. Kind regards Andy Holcombe Club Secretary

The final round of our club benchrest league attracted a good turnout, 18 competitors enjoyed some relatively benign weather conditions – dry, but with a moderate wind which varied in both strength and direction.

please note that in order to qualify for the end of season shootoff you must have shot a minimum of 5 competition shoots at the same club.
