HBSA Midland Rook & Rabbit Rifle Competition

Stourport on Severn, Saturday 5th October 2024

Dear Competitors

Thank you all for competing in this our 19th Annual Midland Rook and Rabbit competition.

We were once again privileged to be able to use the range at Stourport on Severn.

This year we had 13 individual entrants entered into 44 matches, 88 match cards.
With 4 regulars unable to attend due to holidays or work commitments.

As always, I would very much like to thank the Committee and Members of Stourport on Severn Rifle Club for allowing us the use of their range.

This was the 16th Autumn match to take place at Stourport On Severn which has now been joined by the Spring Match, the Charity Rook & Reindeer and the Summer Long Range.

Once again, the weather Gods provided us with a lovely Autumn day, high temperature, bright sunny spells and no wind.

Unfortunately, Rex our appointed Range Officer was taken ill and could not attend, so Rich Morris, Phil Carter and Paul Smith took it in turns to run the range. It did mean we had to work through the usual lunch break but it all worked out well in the end. We all wish Rex a speedy recovery and hope to see him soon.

Each detail consisted of 13 shots at both 25m & 50m with the best 10 shots being counted at each distance.

The match results and rifles used may be viewed here >>>>

I also have to mention that a donation of £335 was received, this will be passed on to Macmillan Cancer Support,raising our running total to £2045.

Many thanks to all those who attended and helped out during the day.

I hope everyone had a good day and that we see you all again.

Look out for the Christmas Charity Rook & Reindeer on Saturday 30th November 2024, with all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support.

Best Regards
Paul Smith
