The Gun Pimp Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 It's Egg Shoot time again - or it will be in one month - i.e. May 27th Bank Holiday Monday. Having run the shoot for 20 years, it's now time for me to hand over the Shoot to the Marsdens - Jim and Mary. To commemorate the start of this new era, Jim & Mary have commissioned an 'Egg Breaker' patch which, in addition to the usual egg breaker bounty of £100 will be given to all egg breakers. Not only that - the unique patches will be retrospectively awarded to previous egg breakers from the last 20 years. I've compiled a list of 20 names I have on record but, in case I've left you off, please let me know if you are a past egg breaker. (Email me on targetshooteronline@icloud.com) It would be great if you could collect your patch in person on the day - and try and win another! If you've never done the Egg Shoot why not give it a try - it's a simple competition with virtually no rules or restrictions - any rifle, rest or scope - as long as you can carry your equipment to the firing-point single-handed you're good to go. Only 10 rounds required. (One rifle only and no sharing rifles). Awards for best group/score at 100, 300 & 500 yds and best factory rifle.

geek Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 This is the results from the egg shoot last year, 26 shooters and only one egg breaker (my 14 year old son with a standard Ruger PR in 6.5 Creedmoor), he also managed a 1" group at 300yrds (beat his father hands down and I was using an AI AT in .308 [goes to show it's how you shoot not what you shoot]). It is a fantastic day out, great fun and good company, doesn't matter is you shoot a factory rifle or a full custom rifle, bipod (which my son used) or a full benchrest set up. Why not come and have a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Pimp Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 The future of shooting is in good hands - both these youngsters - Bexi Parkin and Fraser Jones - broke the egg at 500 yards on a very windy day. Bexi also finished second overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodlander Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Great to see the youngsters getting involved in shooting. Wish I could get my kids interested,bar a bit of plinking with my .22 semi. It does seem as though the lasses have a natural ability,when it comes to target shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
