Aberdeen Fullbore Gun Club (AFBGC) held their annual Wapinschaw event over the weekend, but June certainly did not produce the weather we hoped for. Gusty cold wind, rain and some tempting glimpses of sunshine lasted the whole weekend.
However, it did not deter 33 competitors competing in almost 300 events, and thanks to fantastic efforts and organisation, the members produced the expected show.
JSPC members included Ian Burton, Chris Douglas, Leslie Kong and Stuart Russell. Chris showed us what is possible, even with the horrible weather, topping a lot of the scores across the board.
Thanks to William Blackwood, AFBGC member now residing in beautiful Shetland, I can now add some of his photos of the event:
