Third shoot back after lockdown and this was a lot trickier than the first two especially with the strong wind making for some much tougher targets.
Only 8 shooters managed to reach a combined score of 30 ex 50 and they are:-
Guillaume 20+20 = 40 Colin M 20+19 = 39 Ian 18+20 = 38 James 16+16 = 32 Lee 14+18 = 32 Andy F’s 16+16 = 32 Mitch 16+15 = 31 Andy C 16+14 = 30
Many thanks again to Glen and Colin for the set up as we all really enjoy being back to our sport, and to those who helped with scoring and buttoning especially Mark and Joe.
An excellent second shoot back and with the two Compak layouts tweaked it generally proved to be a little trickier than last time. The combined scores of 30 plus are as follows:-
Our first shoot back was a success and allowed us all to blow the cobwebs out of the barrels!
A few changes for this coming shoot (21st).
Compaq sporting will continue over the 2 layouts. We will be trimming the squad intervals to every 15 mins and starting at 9.45am. The last squad to shoot will be 11.30am. Please ensure you are on time.
This allows us an earlier finish time, as we weren’t packed away until 2pm last shoot.
Once the squads are full, we are full, so if you’re planning on shooting don’t hang around, book in. Last entries by Friday evening 8pm.

Firstly I would like to say what a brilliant effort from Glen & Colin for putting on a fantastic shoot over two challenging layouts. It was great to get back and blow the cobwebs away.
That was several days work for Glen & Colin and we are extremely lucky to have such committed people.
As I say it was very challenging and the scores for anyone who totalled at least 30 ex 50 are posted below:-
Glen 20+23 =43 Colin M 20+23 =43 Andy F’s 19+23 =42 Ian 17+24 =41 Colin HP 19+19 =38 Andy C 17+19 =36 Guillaume 18+18 =36 Lee 15+20 =35 Simon 16+18 =34 James 11+19 =30 Paul P 16+14 =30 George 15+15 =30
Just a polite reminder if you don’t pre book via Glen for Sundays shoot you wont be able to play, so ring glen and pay your money direct into our bank account. Thanks
Hi everyone, BVGC will be reopening on June 7th. Please follow Facebook and the Website for information over the coming week. It will not be business as usual and we will be operating differently. Please pass on to anyone who maybe interested. Regards Glen
Having thought long and hard about this we have reluctantly taken the decision to close the gun club for the time being.
We did discuss carrying on shooting without opening the shed or taking physical money or using score cards and using gloves for buttoning etc and these looked attractive options if it gave people some opportunity to enjoy some sporting activity and fresh air.
However, on the other hand we felt it would not send the right message to others in the village who were not aware of the measures we had taken and could easily think we were being cavalier in the face of the constraints we are all being asked to face.
On balance therefore we have erred on the side of caution. We will keep reviewing the position with the aim of re-opening as soon as we can.
We hope you, your families and friends all stay well at this time and look forward to seeing you all again before too long.
With all best wishes
Ian, Glen, Mark and Colin
