Fantastic Shoot at New Gwyndegla Shooting Ground.

The biggest, best, most thrilling shoot North Wales has ever seen was held today at the new Gwyndegla shooting ground.
A 100 bird shoot set up by the well known course setter Gwyn ‘Hotshot’ Richards, set the scene for a thrilling shoot, with the best shooters from around the world flying in, to take part.
Two shooters came from overseas (Anglesey) hoping to win what will become the pinnacle of the Welsh Shooting Calendar.
Sporting and G.S.A.B.T. in the morning, a curry and Lobscows dinner cooked by the well know Michelin Starred chef Elfyn ‘Slim’ Richards, and 50 skeet in the afternoon.
The sporting had a mixture of difficult stands and nearly impossible stands that soon sorted out the wheat from the chaff, (or Chav as in Dave Jones’s case).
The Gwyn’s Special A.B.T. was a new discipline that all shooters enjoyed, and was won by Father Christmas (or W.G. as his friends know him) on a superb 8/10.
Top lady shot Sue ‘Luscious Lips’ Gaunton rose to the top of the ladies scoreboard with a fantastic 23 out of 50 which I believe is a new record for her ;-)
Top shot in the morning was Keith ‘Automatic’ Hill with a superb 43, followed by Gwyn Hotshot Richards on 40, with Ken ‘Beretta’ Griffiths and Father Christmas (W.G) on 39.
Top junior was Rhys ‘I Love Barry’ Davies on 34, well done Rhys, Barry will be very proud.

So scores in the morning were as follows:
Keith 43, Gwyn 40, Ken 39, Meic 35, Rhys 34, Robin ‘Two Left Hands’ 32, Dave ‘chav’ Jones 27, Elfyn ‘Slim’ Richards 25, Hefin 25, J.R. 23, Sue 23, Roger 23, and Barry ‘I love Rhys’ Hughes on a big fat 0. :-)

The lunch was a veritable feast, served by the wonderful Richards Family under the stewardship of chef Elfyn ‘Slim’ Richards, our thanks to them all for their hard work :-)

In the afternoon the skeet was severely affected by the strong wind (not from Robin’s arse this time) from behind the high house, which made for very unpredictable birds.
3 shooters managed to shoot a 44, Keith Hill, Ken Griffiths, and Gwyn Richards, followed by Robin ‘two left hands’ on 40, and Dave and Elfyn on 36.

Scores at the end of the day stood as follows:
High Gun Keith Hill on 87, Gwyn Richards 84, Ken Griffiths, 83, Father Christmas 73, Robin 72, Meic 70, Rhys 68, Dave 63, Elfyn 61, Hefin 60, J.R. 57, Sue 57, Roger 48, and bringing up the rear Barry Hughes on a 25.
