Next shoot August 5th at Doddershall
The Roger Phillips Trophy Shoot 30th June
The day was sunny, dry and warm to be shooting for the Roger Phillips Trophy. Roger was a former member of the club, a fun guy who always had a joke. This trophy shoot is held to remember him. He would be pleased to know that 27 members and 2 guests where there to honour him. There are still a few older club members who knew him from the old days. The trophy was awarded on a handicap system. I think I was listening, this is how I understood the methodology.
- Two stands, and five clays from a third stand were selected at random. (Todd P was the random stand generator)
- The score of highest scoring member over these 25 birds was taken as the par. (Mark C score was used as the scratch score, 19)
- Each member was then awarded a handicap, a point was awarded for each point under the scratch score. So I broke15 clays on the first 25 birds, so was awarded 4 handicap points.
- The score from the remaining 25 clays (Competition Stand Total) are added to the handicap. This results in the final score..
The result was Nick won the handicap shoot.

Practice Shoot at Doddershall
It felt that summer has at last arrived. Cloudless sky, lush green grass and a very light wind. We were entertained by a Spitfire performing some aerial acrobatics at the coffee break. A big change from the previous Sunday’s league shoot which was bitterly cold. We had some 31 shooters turn up creating five squads.

League shoot at White Lion – 29th April
The White Lion leg of the league shoot was held on the 29th April on a bitterly cold day. Congratulations to Jennifer for winning the Ladies High Gun.
Welsh shoot at St Brides Major
I thought that I would update you all on the success of the Welsh shoot down at St Brides on Sunday.
I think for the first time ever the club did not need to hire a minibus as everyone drove down independently with many lift sharing to all meet at the Fox and Hounds car park for 10:00am. There were a record 21 shooters in total from Kingswood along with club friends. We then drove to the quarry and were warmly met by Gerald and the club. As usual the format was a 72 bird shoot held over 6 stands and we were split into mixed squads with one of their shooters heading each squad.
Shooting in a quarry has many challenges as there is no blue sky but a rock face. To assist in spotting the clays, orange coloured ones are used, and this helps. The shooting was challenging but nothing was impossible to hit even if the kill rate of each target varied.
The high score for the day was 56 and our high gun was 53.
After this we all went to The Star Inn at Wick for a great lunch where the results were announced, 460 to St Brides and 448 to Kingswood. So we lost by a mere 12 birds. We are looking forward to overturning this when they attend the return leg with us in August.
