DERBY HANDGUN CHALLENGE 19-20 August 2023

HANDGUNS ONLY!


This was the second such meeting at Derby Club, and Jim Smith and his team again pulled out all stops to make it another success.

“It will be a classified meeting so scores will count towards rankings etc.

We are introducing two aggregates this year,

  • The Black Target Aggregate comprising of the 1500 Match, the 1020 and the WA48.
  • The 1370 MAX. This is the aggregate of TP1, TP2, TP3, Multi-Target and Phoenix A

We hope that competitors will enter all eight events to try something new and take advantage of the discount but appreciate that not everyone can adopt some of the positions in some matches and they may prefer to pick and mix. If you enter all eight events with one class of handgun you will need to be ready to shoot at 9:00am on Saturday and 8:30am Sunday and it will take all day.”

Four JSPC members attended: Doug Green, Leslie Kong, Stuart Rankine and Stuart Russell. Heavy traffic on all the roads made for a very long and tedious journey, but the pain was well worth the fun over the two day events.

Provisional results have been announced, with any challenges to be notified by the weekend.

Jim Smith writes: Congratulations to Glenn Gordon for his achievement in the Aggregates and almost everything else!
A special mention to David Gwalter for setting a new British Record in the LBP 1020 with a Maximum score and 91 X’s.
