Last Monday we were at Moorland Shooting Ground courtesy of Graham Lawrence for our last shoot of the season which was just for fun doubles.
Graham laid on 5 stands with numerous traps going in all directions !!! The one that had everyone laughing/crying was the limping rabbit.
The speed of the clay seemed variable and the slowness caught out numerous shooters, (me included), on occasions it was so slow you could just about run and catch it,
but that was the very clay that caught people out much to everyone's amusement. Best comment of the night, "That bolting Rabbit must of got Mixxy"....
20 pairs signed up to try their luck at the 50 birds between them.
Lo and behold no one shot a perfect 25, there were a couple of 24's Charles Brook and Nick Uglow, but they were not shooting as a pair. The pair that won the evening
managing 45/50 were Nick Uglow and Andrew Eggins.
On 44/50 were father and son team Rob and Harry Baker and Tim Bastard and his old mate Pete Stenlake.
Well done to everyone who braved the slightly inclement weather at the end of the evening.
We had a couple of shoot offs for the S***t cup and the High pheasant cups and winner will receive their cups at the annual dinner and presentation evening.
Thank you again to Graham for sorting the shoot offs and making us most welcome as usual.
Well, we have had a brilliant season and thank you to everyone who has helped in any way to make it such a success.

Next event is the annual dinner and presentation which is at Trethorne Leisure Park on 28th November 2026 ,7pm for 7.30pm. A menu will be sent out shortly
asking for for your choices of meal (carvery, vegetarian and sweet) . Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible for a good night to round off our season.

Last Monday we were at Tregada courtesy of Tim Bastard for our BST Cup shoot (yes, I know last week's heading said BST, it's an age thing!!)
There were 46 entries with several people managing 20 birds but with one or more 2nd barrels.(too many to list)
The only two straights belonged to Charles Brook and our young member Harry Baker. Well done to the both of you.
The pool shoot was again busy and had 59 shooters trying for the tenner. In addition to the tenner there were 3 fivers given away for hitting a white clay, which was sent out
randomly. The winner of the tenner and the only 10/10 for the evening went to Gary Lean.

IF YOU WON A CUP LAST YEAR, PLEASE BRING IT TO THE NEXT SHOOT, SO THAT WE CAN ORGANISE ENGRAVING ETC. READY FOR THIS YEAR's PRESENTATION.
There are still a few outstanding, Dave Burford, Vicky Shopland, Charles Brook and Andrew Gregory.
Next Monday we are at Moorlands Shooting Ground courtesy of Graham Lawrence for our Fun Doubles .
What 3 words "selection, searching, villager, "
The fun doubles will be shot in pairs with 25 birds per person (50 birds in total)at a cost of £7 each. Due to the shortening of daylight we will start the shoot at 3.30pm with last entry at 6.15pm.
In addition Graham will no doubt give you a chance to take a fiver off him if you can get 10/10 on his variable trap.
We need to have a couple of shoot offs to determine the winner of some cups. S***t Cup shoot off between Alex Lawrence and Nick Uglow.
High Pheasant Cup Main, Nick Uglow, Gary Lean and Andrew Gregory BCD, Andrew Eggins, Karl Hughes, Mike Hambly and John Ward.
Please let me know if you are not going to make it. Txt on number below.
Well, we have had a brilliant season and thank you to everyone who has helped in any way to make it such a success.

Last Monday we were at Clubworthy, courtesy of David Uglow for our BST Cup Shoot.
What looked like a nice easy pair, proved far from it. 47 people tried , but no one hit a maximum.
On 14/20 was Peter (devious course setter) Hicks, 15/20 was Ray (getting better) Mitchell , on 17/20 Adam (leader for most of the evening) Martin,
and winner on an excellent 19/20 was Peter (hiding his true quality) Uglow.
The pool shoot was also challenging, what looked like a nice pair of crossers proved difficult. 66 entries were made and again no one hit a max.
There were however 3 people who managed 9/10, Adam Martin, Dave Burford and Andrew Griffin.
Adam had gone, so the shoot off was between Dave and Andrew. The shoot off was delayed for a couple of minutes due to a
pitch invasion by a little black dog.......Owner..... ( answers on a post card)
Andrew eventually came out the winner and took the tenner.
Thanks to Nigel Hawke for running the pool in Steve's absence. He was very busy all evening.
Next Monday we are at Tregada, courtesy of Tim Bastard for our last cup shoot which will be BST. 5pm start last entry 6.45pm .
Entry will be £5 for the 20 birds. What 3 words "trusts, firming, swan"

Last Monday afternoon/evening we were at Treroose, courtesy of John Martin for our 25 bird Compact Sporting Shoot.
A challenging layout saw 45 shooters try for the cup and then there were 4 re-entries and 1 non member trying their luck.
No one managed a maximum, but there were two people on 20/25, Adam Martin and Rob Baker (Harry Baker not to be outdone by Father, also shot a 20/25 on his re-entry),
On 21/25 was Matt Rowland and putting in an excellent score of 23/25 was Nick(found his form) Uglow .
there was no pool shoot as all traps were used for the compact layout.

Last Monday evening we were at Homeleigh, courtesy of Derek Broad for our annual Charity Cup Shoot which took the form of a 30 bird 2 man flurry.

35 various pairs had a go at the flurry with some interesting results. No one managed a full card.

On 22/30 were the following pairs, Gary Lean & Bobby Lean, Gary Lean & Charles Brook, Peter Hicks & Graham Stillwell, Me & Peter Hicks, Rob & Harry Baker.

On 26/30 were Andrew Gregory and Vicky Shopland .

And in first place Peter (took 3 goes) Hicks & Gary (took 4 goes ) Lean on 27/30.

All for Charity so thank you for all your entries and a cheque will be sent in due course to the Plymouth and District Leukemia Charity which was agreed at the AGM as they

helped one of our member's Craig Rowland enormously during his illness.

There were 56 entries in the speed shoot. Panic seemed to set in with many fumbling cartridges or forgetting to call pull for each bird as soon as the stop watch started !!

That said 11 people managed to shoot the 10 birds with varying times and those were Gary Lean, (twice), Sheena Loy, Nick Uglow, Drew Potter, Darren Cartwright, Colin Lewis,

Cliff Jordan , Me and Craig Rowland.

The winning time for the ten, however, went to Andrew Gregory in an amazing time of 30.59 seconds.

Point of interest the quickest time of the evening went to Nick Uglow on 28.69 BUT only 9 were hit......

Next Monday we are back at Treroose, courtesy of John Martin for our Compact Sporting Cup. 3PM Start with Last entry at 7pm

This will be a 25 bird shoot at a cost £7 per round. First entry only to count towards the cup. What 3 words "outfit, sunblock, cracking"

Apologies to our secretary, one Andy Mogford who also shot 19/20 last week at the BST club card. I can't get it right all the time hahahahahahaha...

Last Monday evening we were at South Hellescott, North Petherwin courtesy of Craig Rowland for the last club card of the season which was a 20 bird BST.

56 members attended and despite some very bright sunshine, there were plenty of good scores which will boost many members scores for the end of year awards.

Gary Lean, Glynn Abbott, Pete Stenlake, Andrew Eggins, Harry Baker, John Martin, Matt Stone, Tim Bastard, Me..and Matt Rowland.

You will have seen the voting option for keepsake prizes and I can tell you that the overwhelming vote was for the double walled 500ml stainless steel water bottle

with the Gun Club logo. We intend to order a few extra, so if you don't win a prize this year you may still purchase a bottle if you wish.

The pool shoot saw 33 entries and the chance to shoot a random white clay to earn a free entry and of course the usual tenner.

Two white clays were shot, One by Ray(must stay awake) Mitchell and the other by John Martin.

The only 10 of the evening went to Andrew Gregory along with the tenner.

Next Monday evening we are back at Homeleigh, courtesy of Derek Broad for our Flush and Charity Cup shoot.5pm start last entry 7pm

What 3 words "ratio, nappy, detonated"

Entry charge will apply and be dependent on number of birds in the flurry. This is shot in pairs and re-entry is welcome as it's all for charity.
As in previous years we hope to have a speed shoot. How quick can you shoot 10 clays? Tenner available. No pool shoot as all traps will be

in use for the flurry.

Last Monday we were at Higher Manaton, Bray Shop courtesy of David Trewin for a 20 bird Doubles Club Card.
49 shooters took part in the club card and despite the clays being up in open sky with no distractions, no one managed a full score.
In third with13/20 were Dave Burford, Andrew Eggins, Steve Mansfield, Andrew Gregory and Me (just).
On 15/20 were Trevor Stevens and Steve( broke more clays than anyone) Dent and in first place was one of our new members this year
Callum Shovell on 17/20. Well done Callum.
The pool shoot saw 58 entries and here 4 shooters managed a full 10/10, Jeff Roberts, Darren Cartwright, Ray Mitchell and Steve Mansfield.
As clays were getting short because of Steve D's earlier escapade, it was decided to have a sudden death shoot off. 2 were eliminated after the first round and then
Ray (getting a lot of practice) Mitchell won the second round and went home smiling with the tenner.

FIBRE WAD CATRIDGES ONLY
Despite the above heading regarding Fibre wad cartridges, we again picked up plastic wads on Monday evening. I have asked you all to be vigilant and ensure that you only use fibre on numerous
occasions this season, but some are still not listening. The offending cartridges this week were 24g Nobel GT 's in a blue case.
At the Committee meeting, held on Tuesday evening at Steve Dent's, it was decided that the club now need to take action as we cannot afford to upset our land owners.
Without them we don't have a club.
So, anyone found shooting with plastic will be deducted 10 points for a first offence. For a repeat offence the member will be suspended from 3 shoots and should you
be caught for a third time you will be banned for the rest of the season and consideration given to your suitability to be a member of our club.
The only exception being some shooting grounds who allow plastic.
Please don't let this be you.

Next Monday evening we are at Wormsland, Ladycross courtesy of Martin Wonnacott for our Single barrel Cup. 5pm start last entry 7pm.
What 3 words "recipient, solutions,ages"
As it is a cup shoot entry will be £5.
There will be a pool shoot which this week will include our bolting rabbit. £10 available again.

Your help would is appreciated in helping set up, buttoning, scoring and picking up at the end. Please don't just leave it to the few. You don't have to stay every week
Just now and again. Many hands make light work.
