A great day on Sunday for our fun shoot. The weather was perfect. Not a massive amount of shooters, but I expect there were a few tired souls who had been up late watching Scotland’s win.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
It was just a nice relaxing day shooting with like minded people, just out to shoot and have fun. Thanks to Keith and Derek for being my shooting buddies today. Sorry my score wasn’t better. If I borrow a gun next time, I will zero it beforehand.😁
The exploding targets and surprise 12G bangs kept folk “focused and awake”.
It was good to see some new folk taking part, especially a young, new shooter. You all did very well.
Thanks to all for setting up, organising and running the day. Thanks also to Keith for raffle donations. As usual, I never won a raffle. I will need to fix it next time.😝
Watch this space for our next fun shoot
There were two classes shot today. Open sight shooters and all other shooters.
Here are the scores and some pictures. There was a bonus target. A fox at extreme distance. So this has been added to scores

Hi folks. For anybody coming to the club on Sunday from Milngavie direction, there are road closures. The A81 Strathblane Road is to be closed on Sunday 14th ( The day of our shoot) for 8 days. This is the section at the Nuffield Health Gym. It will be closed from marchfield (the last houses on the road out of Milngavie) to near Bankell farm. There will be a couple of diversions in place.
Here are the council diversion details, followed by the way that I would go. --- .
Milngavie - A81 Strathblane Road
· Reason for closure: East Dunbartonshire Council Roads Service is to carry out carriageway resurfacing works
· Town: Milngavie
· Road affected: A section of the A81 Strathblane Road, Milngavie, between its junctions with Marchfield and a point north of the access road to Nuffield Health Centre, Milngavie
· Duration: from 6am on Sunday 14 June 2026 until 11.59pm on Sunday 21 June 2026
· Notes:
Alternative routes will be by of the A81, the A807 though Milngavie and Balmore, the B822 through Torrance, and the A891 through Lennoxtown, and these routes will be sign posted. The B8030 and the B8050 through Milngavie, the A809, and the B834 near Croftamie, will also be sign posted.

The way that I would hope to go -- straight on at the cross, up the side of Andiamo’s. ( Baldernock Road). Through the ford. Turn left, onto Dowan Road. Up the hill and turn left again at the church on to craigmaddie Road. Carry straight on and turn right at the main road (A81) just at the glamping pods.
