Members' Fun Shoot on 15th September

To celebrate the end of a very full and fun summer season of shooting (everyone shot all their cards - results will be coming in soon), the rifle club will be having a fun shoot for all members to come along to on Tuesday 15th September!

It will be a tile shoot (click here for more information about what that is) and there will be prizes.  There will be no £2 range fee, just £5 entry for the tile shoot but we'll be including tea, coffee, biscuits... and homemade cake!

The winter competitions are just round the corner so this should be a nice opportunity for people to come back to the club if they've been away for a while.

Look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible.  Please contact Gordon if you intend on coming, as he'll need to know teams to organise the competition.

The Xmas Shoot 2014

Portsmouth City Rifle Club said farewell to 2014 in fine style on Thursday night with the annual Christmas fun shoot.

The first round was our traditional crazy cards competition where shooters had the chance to blast away at a few non-traditional cards where 'luck' was the name of the game.  First place was decided by only a single point but Jonny Rowe managed to just narrowly beat Ian Cooper.

The second competition was a little more serious, a speed shoot that allowed each shooter only 2 minutes to get round the whole card.  To make things fairer, shooters had to predict their score (their handicap) ahead of shooting and the winner was the shooter who shot closest to their prediction.  Here's who placed in the top eight:

Name	Prediction	Shot Score	Difference
Jonny (1st)	80	82	2
Gordon (2nd)	88	91	3
Mike (3rd)	85	88	3
Steph	85	91	6
Dave R.	85	78	7
Elliot	52	61	9
Mark	70	81	11
Marian	80	93	13

So Jonny managed to win again - damn it!  Anyway, a fun time was had by all and we already have provisional plans for a tile shoot early in the new year.  Have a Merry Christmas and see you in the New Year!
