Copy of Greenfields Farmers FITASC. Barrow Farm Agust 2020 Squads

Our latest shoot enjoyed a record entry with 5 superb layouts and a well organised day at
Barrow Farm. The entry was split into two start times am & pm, this ran perfectly with 59
entrants enjoying a superb but challenging day. Results show that only 8 guns improved their
FFC which proved that the course was certainly a challenge for all. Barrow Farm has adapted
to the new world challenge by making full use of the ground available. Squads can easily
drive to the layouts around the shooting ground and with a referee at each point. With a BBQ
lunch served after shooting for each group CPSA & goverment guidlines for social distancing
– were adhered to admirably.
Shoot headlines went to a welcomed new entrant to our shoot who shone at Barrow Farm –
Josh Brown comfortably won the day with an exceptional score of 94 which was 8 targets
clear of his nearest challenger. Josh excelled with a straight 60 on the last three layouts.
Another superb performance from Nick Bullen (86), secured an excellent win in ‘A’ class by
2 targets clear of his rivals. Paddy Croft was another of the few who managed to improved
his FFC average and also win B’ class on 80. Meanwhile Steve Vickery who also improved
his FFC comfortably – won ‘C’ class by 3 targets. Fran Mattison did exactly what she did the
last time she shot our FITASC and won ‘D’ class by 5 clear targets. Most improved shot of
the day was Paul Nesbit-Bell who improve his FFC by +11.

A huge thank you to the Nicholls family together with Roger Wheeler & Alan Gulliver who
set and maintaned the course and not forgeting Simon the chef at Barrow farm for an
excellent BBQ. Finally thankyou as always to Greenfields Guns at Salisbury for their
generous sponsorship and also to Rob Allen for his detailed work for the leader board.

With clay grounds now opening and coming to terms with government and CPSA guidelines, our second shoot of the year was certainly enjoyed by a full card of 40 competitors. It was great to see so many again after the long break and with 6 new faces enjoying a wonderful day at Barbury. The day was splendidly capped with a surprise hog roast, which was greatly received by the referees and shooters alike.

Barbury Shooting School is a renowned Shooting ground holding prestigious events around the year in normal times. They have been quick to adapt to the new world that will probably be the norm for the foreseeable and made us all very much welcome.
With the new club house well underway and an array of shooting areas to enjoy, it is certainly well placed for all disciplines of shooting in the future.

The day was headlined by an outstanding performance from Mark Hanson who shot an unbelievable 96 and improved his ffc by + 13. To only drop 4 targets throughout the entire course will be an unforgettable achievement for Mark who beat some very strong company to win the shoot by 4 targets. Simon Lucas & Robin Heal will also be pleased on 92 to be joint winners of “A” class. Another superb performance on the day was achieved by Dave Pike who scored 84 to win “B” class and again improved his ffc by +13. Mike Tizzard and Frank Hodges battled for honours in “C” class with Mike winning by one target to achieve 72. Meanwhile an impressive battle took place in “D” class with Ian Robberts improving his ffc by +14. However newcomer to our shoot George Robbins won the day on 56. Another excellent effort in the class came from James Donnelley who at his second Farmers FITASC improved his ffc by 15 to win most improved shot of the day.
