That brings an end to a well busy week , practice at outreach Garlands venue is good and busy , yesterday we had the pleasure of of Matt Davis there all day of The Gun Fit company , gun fitting and coaching all day , if you are wondering about your gun fitting you or planning on a new stock I strongly recommend to have a couple of hours with Matt , his attention to detail is awesome .

Today back at Westfield saw a good turnout with exceptional shooting on display from James Attwood on 98 and Phil Gray 96 👏👏👏👏

Some great scores down the classes also with all results live on CPSA website

Here he is , the ever reliable Charlie Botham at Westfield this morning . He is so proud of his award for long service to our sport showing us in the clubhouse this morning 👏👏👏👏👏
See you all later at Westfield

I have been asked a lot over the last week or so about Range bags ?? For some apparent reason

For me personally I prefer the ones with built in seats that are all totally waterproof
The latest addition and growing in popularity is the converted motorised golf cart , this will travel in rough ground itself at walking pace up to a steady jog 😁if you’re keen to arrive at the next stand , it will carry three guns , 250 cartridges with ease and has a waterproof pouch big enough for all commonly used accessories , glasses , chokes , waterproof clothing , towels etc

So I would say before looking at all the others that you get bombarded with on posts take a look for yourselves

😁think I might have to introduce a trolley toll on the walkways 😂😂

Weather forecast is great for Sunday at Westfield …, we are looking forward to entertaining you all with a great new course

Levies on Registered shoots …

This always pulls up a little confusion on why people have to pay it ?

Let me try to explain … if you are shooting an Inter county or regional area championship there will be a levy applied , usually £2-£3 paid by every competitor at that event . This levy money that is collected is passed onto the CPSA regional committee for the likes of medals , trophies etc

If you are shooting in a County championship there will also be a levy added on the entry fee , this also has to be paid by every entrant to that shoot regardless of which county you are from , these collected funds are passed onto the County that the championship is being held for .

Now if you are shooting a normal Fitasc CPSA registered shoot the ground will be invoiced £1 per head of entrants from the BICTSF , to help with their running costs I guess .

Some counties use “ selection” shoots to determine their county teams and as such ask grounds to collect a levy , this is not applicable to every entrant of that shoot , just liable to the county members in question

From the grounds point of view we pay a subscription to CPSA annually and are not subject to any additional levies on normal registered shoot days .A ground that hosts any Fitasc shoots are also liable for a £50 a year subscription to BICTSF then as I mentioned above are invoiced £1 per every entry

With some events coming up soon I hope this explains the reasoning of levies applied 😁😁

Our practice days at the Garlands venue

Today , tomorrow and Saturday we are open with 16 top quality sporting stands and ABT to have fun on

I charge 36p a clay , I don’t offer membership as all this does is p**s people off when individuals come along and offer discounts on normal rates to buy custom and then why should you pay a membership ??

We have excellent catering each practice day in the upstairs restaurant , coaches are more than welcome ( certain ones that don’t talk bu****it) without any green fee

You are met by welcoming staff …. And myself 😁😁

Open till 8pm tonight

Ps don’t be fooled by last minute cancellation . Com 😂😂😂😂

His professional approach is well proven in the shooting world
