A few of our regulars were unable to attend today’s match, resulting in a slightly reduced field. Fourteen of us enjoyed what were perhaps ideal conditions for an outdoor benchrest competition. The Met Office forecast was broadly correct – 7 mph winds with 16 mph gusts, moving from east to south to southeast while the […]

Once again, we were six.Here we are in June already and six of us arrived bright and early at the club; organiser Tom, Gary, Jeremy, Eddy and myself were joined once again by Justin, sadly missing from the last couple of rounds. Julian was absent, having travelled to Spain for a bit of sunshine…. Erm, […]

Today’s weather provided excellent opportunities for high scores – if you were paying close attention, or mediocre scores – if you weren’t. Mostly sunny with a medium strength breeze, predominantly from right to left. Although the wind did regularly switch, briefly, to a left to right variety. Fortunately it also featured frequent momentary lulls, enabling […]

Today’s match produced some remarkably consistent sets of cards, despite the wind conditions being frustratingly tricky – medium strength, predominantly right to left, but with frequent changes of direction. Mike Smith’s first round 249 convinced many of us that the match had already been won, but the wind had other ideas, and his second card […]

And then there were six. Just Tom, Gary, Jeremy, Eddy, Julian and myself entered the May club competition, although we had a few other folk at the ground watching the ‘action’ and eating our biscuits. The weather was warm and dry but the breeze was variable and fickle, getting more troublesome as the shoot went […]
