English Match September 2026
Variable Weather, Excellent Cake!
English Match started Saturday morning with plenty of space for late entries to come and shoot. Kitchen stocked with rolls, bacon, and homemade Stem Ginger Cake. Most recipes say 2 teaspoons (tsp) full of ground ginger but the one Elaine found required 2 tablespoons (tbs) full which had us worried for a bit because we thought it might be a typo! However, further research (Hairy Bikers & Mary Berry!) confirmed it was OK. Anyway, we like ginger!
Coaching 2026 06 16
Tuesday evening coaching a probationary member who's using a club Anschutz 1907 standard rifle. Basic process OK but position was a little slack and tending to move the butt around in their shoulder during the detail.
So, tightened the sling one notch and a discussion about letting the sling take the weight, and maintaining the shoulder pressure particularly during operation of the bolt to help keep the butt-plate in the same location as moving the butt-plate fractionally will move the NPA.
The Graham Rowcroft Range
[Report by Mike Kettle at the 2023 annual dinner and prizegiving.]
Those of you who have been with us for less than two years probably don’t know Graham Rowcroft.
Those of you who have been with us longer probably know him as our longstanding chairman and have probably been helped by him in some way during your membership of the club.
Open Double Dewar 2026
The sun shone for most of the weekend, the rain stayed away but the wind remained as tricky as ever! Especially as the new ISSF compliant wind flags seem to be a bit friskier than our old flags which people had gotten used to.
