Herts FifTy - 14 August 2005

..

This was a 50 shot HFT competition held at the club's shooting ground, Hanging Grove. The event was open to both members and visitors, and there was also a post shoot barbeque.

68 competitors took part, some of whom traveled considerable distances. They all seemed to enjoy the event and the weather was kind to us until the prize giving, which took place outside around the barbeque! 

Thanks to the generosity of  John Bowkett, we were able to raffle a BSA Hornet Carbine in .177 calibre at the prize giving. The lucky winner was Steve Holmyard.

The course setters had done a great job and there was an "interesting" wind blowing, but this did not seem to have much impact on the scores of some shooters, whilst offering believable excuses for those that did not do so well. Competition for the trophies was close, with shoot-outs required to decide the winners of both the Open and Junior classes.

Once again, Roger & Bob worked away tirelessly behind the barbeques and there wasn't a single rumbling stomach heard during the prize giving. Congratulations to all of the trophy winners and thank you all for supporting this event.
