The trial for the International Dewar Match was held at Appleton Range near Warrington on 20th June. The match is a postal competition which pits the best twenty shooter and coach combinations from Australia, Canada, Great Britain, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States against each other.
Fifteen members took advantage of the Eley mobile testing facility at the weekend. Everyone found out that their barrels can shoot straighter than they can!
Results were interesting with Edge performing better than Match and Tenex in some instances! Click here to see one of the better groups developing over the course of ten shots.
After last years clean sweep by the Ladies, the gents got a look in at this years Thwaites hosted at East Grinstead TSC. Over 30 shoooters attended the event on Sunday including one from as far afield as Scotland. The morning was blighted by continuous drizzle but did at least have the benefit of subdued lighting!
The club held a coaching session for members on Saturday afternoon.

East Grinstead TSC had great success in the Sussex County competitions this year through all the classes. They came away from the county dinner and prize giving with a table full of trophies.
For full results refer to Sussex County website.
Malcolm Brain and a group of shooters from Sussex had success at the Jersey open this year.
The top three shooters were separated by only two points after an intense match undertaken by 37 competitors in interesting conditions. In the end, Tony Wells (Cuckfield) and Russell French (Chichester) were tied for top spot and were only seperated by one point on countback with Tony Wells coming out as the winner, continuing from his successful 2nd place in the April shoot earlier in the year.
