UKBRA 600 Yard Benchrest – Round 4 & League Round up – 1st March 2015

[mole-e30]

Hi All

 

It’s been a while since we have had a benchrest shoot due to poor weather, but today was the final round of the 2014/15 600 yard League.

 

The weather was as expected wet and windy, so first of all thanks to all those that turned up and all those that helped out.

 

Not ideal conditions today, but nevertheless we have to have a go in whatever nature throws at us, so we did.

 

Groups went from small to large and all sorts in between, with a good few penalties thrown in for good measure.

 

Anyway, without further ado, here are the results......

 

Light Gun

 

1. Vince Bottomley (22 Dasher) - 4.192" (Average of 4 x 5 shot groups)

2. Bruce Lenton (6.5 x 47) - 4.294"

3. Mal Roberts (6mm Dasher) - 4.360"

 

Small Group - Vince Bottomley - 2.449"

 

Heavy Gun

 

1. Laurie Holland (7mm Shehane) - 4.662" (Average of 4 x 5 shot groups)

2. Gary Wrighton (6BR) - 5.729"

3. Jack Mills (6.5 x 284) - 8.867"

 

Small Group - Laurie Holland - 3.855"
