Frome & District Pistol Club - FDPC.


The End of an Era !!   After 12 years of the resurrected 3-Gun match – the last 10 of which have been at Shield – we’ve decided to make this the last for a while. To mark this occasion, this years match was all multi-gun stages – just under 280 rounds in total.

The weather held out (just), to provide a full, exhausting and challenging weekend. Some 13,000 rounds were put safely down range, and there was a distict lack of broken guns; after 12 years, it’s all come together !

Well done to Mike Darby who, with a consistent days shooting,  took the overall aggregate winners slot.

In second place, and highest FDPC member, Chris West retained the Transvaal Trophy.

Well done also to the “Frome Yobos”, who won the MIDWAY UK Team Challenge.

Yet again, our thanks to all those who made this match possible :

  • Steve Pike, and Shield Shooting Centre - best Practical venue in the UK.
  • Biddy Pike – ensuring no one wilted
  • Our range crew and stats staff - without them, shoots don't happen
  • Our sponsors - listed below - who were again extremely generous.
  • You, the shooters. Without you, it would be a very quiet day !
