East Coast Shooting Club

We are hosting members of another club on our pistol range this Sunday, the 15th January and are expecting about 15 attendees. They will be running a competition between 10:30 and 13:30  so please come before or after these times if you want to shoot pistol. I know it could be inconvenient but all shooters need to stick together in these changing times and it is sensible for us to share our facilities where appropriate .

Sunday 27th November saw the first club pistol shoot of the new club year. Our new Pistol section leader, Paul, introduced a new format consisting of a number of  shots at 10 Metres, single handed, 5 using the right hand and 5 using the left. The targets were then moved to 15 Metres and more strings were fired single handed, against the clock, using each hand in turn. The new format levelled the playing field and new names have appeared at the top of the score sheet. Well done to all attendees. Remember that the club will run a pistol competition on the last Sunday of each month.

The AGM for 2010 took place in the Castle Inn, Newcastle, Co. Wicklow on Wed. 26th of October. A good selection of members turned up to hear about the progress made during the last year and the plans for next year. Reports on finance, membership, safety and the various shooting disciplines were given by the committee members responsible. A new committee was elected which will be circulated to the members by e-mail.

This course will be  postponed until early in the New Year. Once set, the new date will be published on here and on IrishShooter.com
