Mash67 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hi Matt, Details for the day are roughly from 100 yards out to 400+ at steel gongs, but with full details on the day. Best to bring more rounds than you think, as it's best to take some home than run out. The farm is coughton fields farm coughton fields lane coughton alcester warwickshire B49 6BT thanks what is the latest that we can confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streeker59 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 thankswhat is the latest that we can confirm At the moment were looking at about 10 shooters. The course of fire will require 23 rounds for the main comp and as many as you want for the fun / pool shoot which will take 6 rounds per try.. Each competitor will be asked for £5 on the day to pay for the cost of a trophy that will be manufactured by one of our very own for next years shoot. This years winners name will off course be engraved on the trophy. Also i must remind everyone to please bring a prize for the prize table so no one goes home empty handed. The winner will have first choice from the table and so on. Last years prize table saw bottles of whiskey and quality wine, boxes of bullets and various other shooting accessories from torches and fox calls to packs of primers so please be generous. Graham, Ian , Kip and myself all look forward to welcoming you all to UKV's 2nd annual comp.... Grant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamfarmer Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 hi guys and girls , well another uk varminting shoot has passed for those that couldnt make it you missed a cracking day and i am sure posts by others will convey that fact . few technical problems mainly due to targets been damaged by heavy incomming gunfire but a bit of farmyard technical wizzardy sorted them . and in true varminting style one or two of us joined the long range clubs. personally thank all who turned up and put yet more names to faces.and the way the friendly banter and leg pulling was given and taken by all . thanks have been conveyed to my mum for doing the teas and coffee . also i would like to thank kip for comming up and helping set up on saturday afternoon and hope he enjoyed the fun we had after but i will leave that up to him to explain . surfice to say that you dont expect to offer someone a shot with your rifle and to have them part a crows hair at 600 plus yards then fetch feathers out of a magpie at 500 yards plus and then hit a hare at 398 yards with the third shot all by guessing hold over. well the targets for next year are already in the planning stages so watch this space for details of next years get together and once again i hope everyone enjoyed the day. graham.

jma Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Absolutely fantastic day, with a great set of people in attendance. The weather was glorious too; I have the burnt head to remind me of it. Many thanks to Graham, Ian, Kip and Grant for giving up their time to organise it, A special thanks to Grahams mum for the teas and coffees. As Graham has said Kip will be doing the full detailed report of the day’s events, sometime today I should think. Looking forward to next year already. regards jma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermincinerator Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 What a marvellous day, lovely weather, challenging targets and excellent company Many thanks to our host Graham and his mum for the much needed cuppa, top notch, Grant and Kip for their organizational skills and also to those who helped me with my difficulty in getting about. I think i recieved a good lesson in steel swinging target design, to "make it beefier" now that i know what they need to withstand during the days competition, (err punishment) Lastly but by no means least, thanks and well done to all the competitors that took the time and made the effort to attend the shoot, after all its the competitors that make this shoot the enjoyable event that it is.
