Frome & District Pistol Club - FDPC.


3-Gun 2007 was the year of the farmyard shoot. Stages included the use of a few chickens, a pig, several sheep and various parts of a cow – all excellent props, care of ‘the Brooklyn’s’. There was a very scary scarecrow (with a suspicious resemblance to Bicky), and enough barn rats to challenge the rest of the shooters. All in all, an excellent shoot, with enough sunshine to make your crops grow wild !

Congratulations to OLLIE DAGGER !! By the narrowest of margins (the top 3 were separated by just 1 ½ percent), he becomes the youngest winner of not only the 3-gun, but the Transvaal trophy (as the highest placed FDPC member). He also won the mini-rifle outright, and was 2nd in the gallery rifle.  (he also passed his car test last week – watch out !!).

Other congratulations include :   Lyndsay Copperman (highest Lady), Aaron Witheridge (highest Junior, and ‘new kid on the block’ !!) and Fred Davis, who won himself a .22 rifle in the prize draw, donated by S J Downs RFD. Also, an excellent performance by “FDPC A Stars” – winners of the MIDWAY Team Challenge – a particularly handsome group of able shooters (yes, it was my team !!).
