The first Sunday in March saw the last of our 600 yard benchrest winter series. It was absolutely freezing and we even had a light snow shower but that didn’t stop you turning out and it was our highest ever entry.
The wind was thankfully light so penalties for shots off target were few and, sure enough, some tiny groups started to appear. Jack Gibb was the first to go under four inches with his 6mmBR Stolle but Jeanette Whitney took the small group award with a 2.15 incher using her 6mm Swiss Match.
Ian Dixon was surprise Light Gun winner shooting his 308 F/TR rifle mounted in a benchrest stock. Ian shot four very respectable groups to end with a 3.5 inch agg. In Factory Sporter, it was Sean Broxham who took the win, just edging out Darrel Evans. Sean’s performance was good enough for third place in Light Gun Class – time we got our act together guys!
