South West DTL Inter-counties 2022 – North Cornwall Shooting Ground 24/9/22

It’s been a while since I was at North Cornwall last. You never quite know what you’ll get for weather, but today it was kind to us. We had a smattering of rain from the fringes of a big cloud heading South, but nothing more, and the wind managed to restrain itself from affecting the targets too badly. When it looks like it does in the photos, it’s a really pleasant place to be!

Devon Double Rise Championship 2022 – Two Counties 11/9/22

Ah, Double Rise. One of those disciplines that I hardly get to shoot, perhaps once or twice a year (if that) at the County and Regional Championships.

Bradford Gun Club DTL Championship 2022 – Bradford Shooting Ground 3/9/22

Evening everybody!

I can start this week with some good news – I have my temporary permit! Valid until February next year.

I don’t know if it was me sending through a receipt for my guns going into storage, or if one was sent before the 27th and the postal strike stopped it getting to me, but the speed with which one was issued and sent on the same day as I sent the email leads me to think that there was no first one.
