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.

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.

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 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.

Sussex Sextette shooting at Bisley....the drone flyby shots should be interesting when photos/video are published.
