Anniversary shoot

Each year, where possible, the Club tries to organise an annual anniversary shoot, to celebrate its formation in 1906. Members can shoot in two small-bore prone rifle competitions; a 'Through the Ranges competition' for the 'Memorial Trophy', and an 'Any-sights competition' for the 'Foxbury Shield'.

2006

This year the shoot consisted of a 'Thru-the-ranges' shot over 25yds [ex 200], 50m [ex 200] and 100yds [ex200]. The 'Any-sights' shoot consisted of a 50m English Match [ex 600]. The winners in the 2006 meeting dropped the following points.

2006 saw good conditions on the outdoor ranges during most of the day. Only the late afternoon shooters had a cross wind to contend with. In the Any-sights class A competition, three members shot 5 cards with only 3 points dropped on each. Once member was promoted from class D to class C, which he then won!

2005 saw good conditions on the outdoor ranges. Reasonable temperatures and sunshine throughout the day help towards some good scores being recorded. The 25yds cards were shot on the indoor range.

The downside of all the sunshine - RAY and his shorts!
