Very fitting as Ian was a shooting colleague of Bill, both very keen and able followers of Prone Target Rifle
This was a new competition in memory of Bill Vaughan who passed away recently. A trophy has been ordered to commemorate the event.
Many thanks to Stuart Russell who helped to organise the competition, and also accepted the task of scoring the targets. Outward scoring meant many losing points they did not wish to lose!
A few photos show the intense nature of the competition, but thoroughly enjoyed by those taking part.
As usual, it was so disappointing to see so few members at the range. It would be helpful to the committee to know why so many avoid our competitions. In two weeks time, we are hosting the JSPC Spring Open weekend and already we have almost 50 competitors, some of whom are travelling from the very south of England, and others from the north of Scotland. Surely our “local” membership can show face??
Congratulations to Ian Burton on winning his first JSPC competition as relatively new member to JSPC. Ian has many years experience as a shooter (alongside Bill Vaughan as well) but has now got the Gallery Rifle bug.
