Several issues identified as follows:
Breathing. We all do it without thinking but doing it correctly as far as shooting is concerned takes practice. A very useful discussion was had on this topic.
February 2018 Competitions Update
February has been a busy month with many members having qualified for the later rounds of the Eastbourne and Sussex Cup competitions. Last date for shooting many of these competitions was 5th March so the results will be filtering through shortly. Good luck to you all.
January 2018 Competitions Update
The New Year is a traditional time for fresh starts and, as we say goodbye to January, here is the first of a series of monthly updates highlighting our successes in both team and individual competitions.
Air Range Upgrade 2017
Existing Setup
The existing setup has 4 firing points with two Rika target changers that are about 25 years old and two others that date back to the early 1980's. The other two older units have been repaired on several occasions and the switches are getting dodgy again. We also have to dismantle and reassemble this setup 5 times a year when we use the air range as the marking room for open shoots and as additional space during the Christmas shoot.

Nick wins the Day
Nick Mullins (5th Sussex HG) managed to master the variable conditions and came out top in A Class with a magnificent score of 594 ex 600. The threatened wind and rain just about held off until after shooting finished on both days but that didn't mean the conditions were easy.
