Frome & District Pistol Club - FDPC.

Results of the 3-Gun Match, at Shield.   9th to 11th July, 2004.

This match has now become a firm fixture on Action Shooting’s calendar – the biggest of it’s type outside of Bisley and attracting the cream of the Action Shooting experts from across the UK.

This year, 63 shooters took part in 172 man-matches, and shot the best part of 16,000 rounds of ammo over the 3 days. With 12 challenging stages to tackle (4 for each gun type), this was a full days shooting, with a variety of field, speed, steel and standard exercise to overcome. This was a true test of durability, reliability and consistency across the match, and this years course of fire was both fun, and a challenge, thanks to the efforts of the course designers.

As in the past few years (until FDPC establishes a new permanent range again), the match was hosted by Shield – the home of practical shooting in the South – and we’re indebted to Steve and Biddy for their support, both during the event, and at the prize table.

One feature of Frome matches is the rain. We escaped it last year, but it seems that it saved up a double dose for this years event. At least it had the decency to wait until 4.00pm every day, before it gave the shooters a good soaking, to cool them down a bit.

Our thanks again to all those who helped design, construct and run the match; to our sponsors (listed below), and to Shield.
