Reflecting on the day after our Combat Stress Charity Shoot at the Star Gun Club, I am always overwhelmed by the support we received. It would not have happened without the brilliant efforts of so many people, including everyone at The Star Gun Club. My team, Chip, Chris, Sarah, and David, are the best support team I could ever wish for. Thank you to Darren from the Combat Stress Charity and everyone who contributed to the raffle. We had a glorious day, with the best October weather and everyone enjoying a brilliant course set by Tim. The raffle was made even more special by the CPSA and SWATCOM, who donated some amazing prizes. We raised a massive £1,425, which is brilliant. Most of all, thank you so much to everyone who came.💥💥

Chip and I have just returned from a superb trip to Scotland, where Chip was shooting for the FITASC Sporting England team. Arnie Palmer shot 82, and with Chip's 81, they won the Super-Veteran High Gun Team. Huge congratulations to everyone who shot. Making the team is always a massive achievement.💥💥

Yesterday, Chip and I shot the Compak Sporting British Masters Championship at Barbury in a discipline that Chip finds mentally challenging! 🤣Chip shot brilliantly, 99/100, which saw him come away with the Veterans trophy and finish 3rd in A class, one ahead of the lovely Tony Manvell and Bob Clarke, both on 98.
I finished on 92, which was a few light, but after recent challenges I was very happy. Congratulations to Barbury for a great competition and all the winners.💥💥

I am delighted to confirm that both Chip and I have Active360 available to try. Thank you, Keith at Swatcom, for your continued support and for providing our clients with the best equipment.

GBS descended on the Star Gun Club on Sunday for its annual charity shoot, raising money for Combat Stress. We were blessed with incredible weather again, and many GBS friends arrived with their competitive hats on, eager to win the Trophies.

The Star provided us with some brilliant targets, as always, great hospitality, and lovely food.

We raised a fantastic £1300, with great thanks to the Star Gun Club for their contribution, the CPSA for raffle donations, to all those competing, and to many who were unable to attend.

A big thank you goes to the excellent Sarah Franklin, who supported me with raffle ticket sales and scoring, making the shoot run much smoother. Chip and Chris, by my side, also contributed to the running of the shoot, and I couldn’t do it without them.

It was brilliant to see Darren from the Combat Stress team helping with the raffle tickets and informing friends about the excellent work they do. This fantastic competition would never exist if it weren’t for the support of all our GBS friends, so I thank you all so much for coming and supporting a brilliant Charity.

Please save the date: our next competition will be on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at the Star Gun Club, and we will be delighted to see you all again.

Full results are available on the website's results page.💥💥

Wow, what a competition! On Saturday, Chip shot with the England FITASC team at Hodnet. Superb targets as always, and the gusting wind made for a challenging shoot. Chip shot brilliantly, finishing joint 5th overall and winning,

Super Veteran High Gun
England Super Veteran High Gun,
England Super Veteran Team Gold with Glen Hunt.
The England team also won the event.🏆

These events, especially from a support role, provide an opportunity to see some excellent shooters and appreciate just how exceptionally talented they all are. It's a privilege to know so many friends from around the country, and I congratulate all the winners on some superb shooting.💥💥

I'm so delighted for Chip over the last few weeks. Winning the County side by side last weekend and this weekend winning a silver medal with his Bl**er at the UK FITASC Sporting Championships in Blyton.

It was a real privilege to visit a new shooting ground, where you are made to feel so welcome, and that's not just the ice cream! The whole team at the shooting ground worked incredibly hard, and the targets, the friendly atmosphere, and the enormous amount of work that went into it made the shoot one of the best. It's been a long time since I have had the chance to shoot such brilliant but challenging targets.

Next weekend, Chip shoots with the England FITASC team, and I wish him and all the team the very best of luck.💥💥
