9mm Club Shoot March 1st ‘08 X260

Gents:

1st	Sean Banfield	240
2nd	Mark Hinds	236
3rd	James A. Bradshaw	233

Ladies:

1st	Allison Nicholls	212
2nd	Sandie Soodeen	158

Scores were a little lower than our last competition, but it was the first in ‘08! So, better next time although that will be outdoor & should present more of a challenge. Congrats to our winners, especially Mark who has only been shooting a short time & turned in a good score for 2nd. Place.

Ladies scores were also lower but there again probably due to lack of practice. Our top lady shot Marissa Bradshaw is M.I.A. for now (making babies) so we wish her well & hopefully see her in the near future. There are also some new lady shooters in training who will soon be joining the competitions.

Next pistol comp. Is on April 27th. Until then Be Sporting!

Club Shoot Pistol Competition Nov 17th ‘07

Extended over two weekends because it poured with rain on the 17th a total of 18 shooters took part so I was quite pleased at the turnout. Remember it’s important that members take part in the competitions, as they are good exercises for your gun control shooting under competitive pressure.

The competition was keenly contested with Sean Banfield & Marissa Bradshaw tying for first place on 250 points each.

As we had a ladies division we did not force a shoot off but next year we will obviously have to include a high gun prize, watch out guys!

In the ladies division Sandie Soodeen was 3rd scoring 184, Allison Niccolls 2nd with 219 & Marissa Bradshaw 1st 250. Both Sandie & Allison did very well for their first competition, congrats.

Sean Banfield took first in the gents with 250, Ryan Brooker & James R Bradshaw tied for 2nd & after a shoot off Ryan beat James to retain 2nd & James 3rd respectively. Greg Sealy also put in a good showing with a 241 for 4th.

The falling plate was great fun to watch & we saw some good shooting. A James Bradshaw exercised very good control taking down all his plates in three consecutive rounds to hold 1st place, Sean Banfield was 2nd & Allison Niccolls who only took down one plate in her first round took down all ten in her two consecutive rounds to nab 3rd. great stuff!

All in all I thought it was a good shoot & we look forward to the battle of the sexes next year!

Hope everyone has a great holiday season,

And as always ‘Be Sporting’

November’s 100 bird sporting ‘07

It was another beautiful day in Barbados with 18 shooters taking part in our 100-sporting clays tournament. Pity we did not see more shooters cause I thought it was a really well-balanced course. Those that took part assured me they had a really good time.

High Gun

With the absence of our March champ Mr. Kirby, Mike Gooding took first place with a score of 70, he was a little handicapped since his regular clay gun had some problems, nevertheless, as usual he performed well with a loaner.

James R. Bradshaw held 2nd with 63 & Kirk Cozier came out of retirement came 3rd scoring a 60.

Handicap

Marissa Bradshaw, our lone lady shooter shot a 45 for high gun ladies & took 1st place in handicap with a score of 93. Marissa shot 100% better than her last 100 sporting well done, but her handicap will take a few hits! James R. Bradshaw came 2nd with 91 also showed some improvement increasing his target count by 11 over his last shoot. Mike Gooding was 3rd with 90.

Over all scores were somewhat better but still not seeing what I have been accustomed to in the past, just a thought.

Many thanks to everyone who took part & we look forward to our next shoot in the New Year.

As we are nearing Christmas we would like to wish you all a not too stressful holiday season.

And remember “Be Sporting”.

SHOT !!

Kendal Sporting 100 Sporting Tournament

In this year’s February tournament there was a total of twenty-five shooters. Although more were expected we were very pleased with the turnout and I was very happy to see those familiar faces I haven’t seen in a long time.

This day started a bit cloudy with a few showers in the morning but cleared up quite nicely. By all reports shooters found the course a bit tough, however, I would prefer to say it was testy but only at certain stations. In my walk around behind squads I thought some shooters were just trying too hard, rather than trying to establish a lead many were tracking.

Congrats to the winners and I hope for improved scores next time.

As mentioned on this day at the prize giving the 5 Stand Competition commences on March 18th 2007 with 50 targets each month and concludes in June. We will be sending out more information on this as well as posting it on our website.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this tournament and to our spectators who made it that much better. We hope to see you all again soon.

BE SPORTING!!!!!
