Thank you all for coming to the annual Kingswood shoot and BBQ, we had super weather and I think everyone enjoyed the fun additions of the air gun shooting and flurry. A big thank you to all the helpers who made the day a great success.

Tod and Simon set up the clay pigeon shooting this morning. They used the club’s equipment setting up fewer stands than we normally have. There were four stands, each with a dozen targets. The fourth stand had fourteen targets, which was a challenge for the shooters.
The usual dynamic duo, Dawn and Brian, could not attend as they were hosting a charity shoot. This meant that there were fewer people at the club event than usual. Some preferring the charity shoot and other also watching the women’s football world cup final.
The English ladies had a disappointing result in the final, losing to Spain. Despite this, everyone enjoyed their time at our clay pigeon shooting event and the charity shoot.
The Ludgershall site had been closed for a while, growing grass for fodder, but it was reopened for this event. The grass had been cut and the land had been prepared.
Overall, it was a successful event. The shooters enjoyed themselves and the charity shoot raised a lot of money.

A blustery day produced some interesting targets. No two targets were the same because the clay targets were being blown in all directions. Thankfully the rain held off and we had an enjoyable shoot. I have included an image of the ground we shoot at from a drone shot I found on YouTube. The producer of the video has several hours of drone footage of the HS2 construction. So, if you can keep your blood pressure under control take a look at his YouTube channel featuring HS2 at, The Boy

The weather gods smiled upon us today. The sun shone brightly, and the easterly wind was not as biting as it had been in previous days. In fact, it was so mild that a few people were even dressed in t-shirts.
We gathered at the English sporting layout, which was in excellent condition. There were six stands, including a practice stand where we could try out our shots without scoring any points.
As an extra reward, we were treated to home-baked cake for our tea break. It was the perfect way to break up the shoot.
