Sporting Targets 2025
On Tour, A Return To Bedford
This year we saw our annual weekend away was back at Sporting Targets in Bedford. 9 members attended this year with a variety of events organised across the multiple disciplines. The site is spread over 40 acres giving us plenty to do across the 2 days. A full breakdown by member can be found in the calendar on the EVENT PAGE
This year we shot less sporting than usual but these clays did count to the overall total. We did more mini-events due to the volume of disciplines this ground has to offer and even combined the towers to make a tower challenge. We had 7 trophies up for grabs over the 2 days for the following disciplines.
DTL, Skeet, Sport Trap, Tower Challenge, Highest with Handicap, Highest Actual & the prestigious Lowest Actual (in the toilet).
Albert, Hotpot, Badger, Hunter, Sturat, Robbo, Pikey, Unick & Dynamite
The final evening we presented the awards for the weekend before dinner and drinks.
