The good weekend weather produced some good scores from the sixty shooters who took part in the East Grinstead Target Shooting Club Autumn Meeting.  The overall winner taking first place in A Class was Barry Butler of Eastbourne with a score of 588 out of 600.  Barry completed one of his three cards in 6 minutes and 30 seconds of the 20 minute detail, and still maintained his high scoring rate.

Good conditions helped 55 competitors from across the home counties to achieve some high scores over 50m in East Grinstead Target Shooting Club's autumn meeting at the weekend. Although closely challenged by Adam Cornbill of Southwick with 588, international shot Linda Smallbone, of Eastbourne, won the Class A Silver Cup with a score of 590.
