So far, so good, for the club's winter league team. We had a good turn out of about 32 competitors at the first round, held at our club, on the 1st of October. I'm pleased to report our team did well to claim top of the leader board. The next round was held at Frobury club's ground, near Basingstoke. The weather was kind, once again, which led to some top scores with 2 shooters just missing the 1 target. However, once again, our team put in a good showing to pull a few targets clear of our nearest competitors. I think this must be the first year Carisbrooke has managed to field a full compliment of team shooters, these being: Rob Eames, Si Evans, Allan Dyke, Richard Green, Barry Warren and Andy Winch.

Our esteemed target producer, Richard Green, has made a specific Island based target which is now on the course. You have to shoot the white disc located within the red squirrel for it to score a hit. Yes, we know, Red Squirrels are a protected species but it will have to do until we locate some grey paint!

Work is ongoing to upgrade the target course so we will have 80 targets which equates to two 40 target competition courses one of which will be used for our forthcoming summer league competition. Also, our thanks to Rob Eames and Allan Dyke who have been clearing an area opposite the caravan for use as a new pistol range. The summer league round will be held on Sunday, 16th July so, if you aren't shooting, perhaps you are able to marshal and/or take photographs, many thanks.
