Practice Shoot 17th December 2017

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by
A good turnout for our Christmas shoot. A 30 bird sporting followed by a 3 man flurry. Thank you to those that brought mince pies, sausage rolls and cake. Very much appreciated and enjoyed by all. There was a short presentation before the start of the flurry, which was held in an arctic storm. I hav added some pictures to show the devastation being caused to our shooting ground by the start of the work on the HS2 line.

League shoot at Quainton – 10th December (CANCELLED by snow)

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

It was our turn to host the league shoot. The third time this year. The shoot was set up on the Saturday, seven stands in all. We were a little restricted on how to set up the shoot. HS2 had taken residence on one field, the field we normally shoot from.  They are about to dig a large 22 acre pond, presently there is an archaeological dig.

Sunday came and there was several inched of snow during the night, and there was still a blizzard. The shoot was cancelled. Despite the poor conditions, the traps were retrieved that day.

A nice shoot set up by Brian. There was a rather demanding crossing bird which seemed to survive most shots.

Anyone who has not yet paid the subs, please do so. A reminder that next Sunday is the league shoot at Quainton. We are hosting it. We need everyone there early to fill the traps and score the cards.

League shoot final at Drayton Parslow -19th November 2017

Kingswood Gun Club Posted on by

Please see attached results from todays league final.
Well done to everyone who has shot the summer league. Kingswood got 3rd and a 5th.
Winter league starts with our shoot on the 10th December. Please put it in your diary.

The shoot was excellent, the day was bright and even even warn in the sun. Drayton Parslow put on a great shoot with many hitable targets, hence the high scores.There was very little queuing on the 12 stands, 100 bird shoot. I heard Chris Cherry say it was the fastest he has shot a hundred bird shoot.

There was chilli, sandwiches and desert at Drayton Parslow village hall after the event.

The final 2017 Summer 2017

The fixtures for the Winter League have been added to the calendar.
