Sunday 10 December 2006
Oxton Shooting School
Another bright but very breezy day awaited a handful of Northern Region shooters at Oxton Shooting School. Robert Jones proving his metal and fairing the best of all the shooters shot a very solid 99. Well done Robert.
Sunday 17 December 2006
What a beautiful cold sunny day awaited the handful of Northern Region shooters making it down to Nottinghamshire this week-end. One of them, Derek Wilson, shooting the three grounds of Nottingham & District Gun Club, Oxton Shooting School and A614. Phew!
Nottingham & District Gun Club
James (Billy) Perry, not having shot registered skeet since the Belvoir Cup, also held at Notthingham, shot another ton which was one of two out the seven squads. Very Well done Billy – a joy to watch (although you did chip a high two!). Congratulations also to Derek Wilson for coming second to Billy shooting a solid 99 and Robert Jones a 98.
Oxton Shooting School
Derek Wilson zoomed the 300 yards to Oxton Shooting School to shoot again, this time shooting a 97 whilst Steve Leppington put in a good solid 99. Well done Steve.
A614
Derek and Steve went out again to see if the targets were any better at A614 than they were at Oxton! (an "in" joke). Derek shooting 98 and Steve 97. They were joined later by Robert Jones and Chris Lancaster who both put in 98. Well done to all.

Kibworth Shooting Ground
Steve Leppington made the trip down to Kibworth Shooting Ground and shot with Mickey Dore and Simon Hill. Well worth the effort as both Steve and Mickey put in another ton. Well done guys.
Sunday 24 December 2006
Oxton Shooting School/A614
A misty background for Reg Bates' excellent targets made ideal conditions, not wasted on the 100 broken by Robert Jones at Oxton and Steve Leppington at A614. Derek Wilson destroyed 98 at A614 and 97 at Oxton. Good solid stuff again from our shooters.
