Winter League 2025-2026
As usual, we were part of the CSFTA regional winter league which takes place between October 2025 and March 2026 over 6 rounds. The weather has been a challenge, with either wind, rain or both! For the Frobury round in October 2025, we were fortunate enough to have a dry day and in 2025 we held the competition completely in the open (we are the only club in the region able to do this). With no trees to shield you from the wind, it was a testing shoot to see how much you needed to aim ‘off kill’ (your aim point is xx distance to the left or right of the target), but we hope that everyone enjoyed the challenge! With one round left to go we will see how we performed individually and as a team. The league enables you to ‘drop’ your two lowest scores from the six rounds so you often don’t know where you will finish in relation to everyone else. Watch this space!
Summer 2025
Frobury shooters had a busy year, both home and away. In Summer 2025 we held our own club league – 5 rounds of 20 shot courses that we a welcome chance for new and developing shooters to see what competitions are about whilst in a club environment. The region also held it’s usual summer league where we got to shoot at ours and at other local clubs. The club are pleased to see winners across differing disciplines and classes: Terry won the competition overall and was top of AA Grade, Stuart achieved 1st place in A Grade and Kevin was 1st in B Grade. Paul Whitehouse won 3rd in Open class.
Frobury Festive 2024
On Sunday 22nd December 2024 we held our annual Frobury Festive shoot! We had the added challenge of very blustery conditions and cold too, but thankfully the rain remained at bay. It was tough out in the field section where it was hard to keep still enough to be able to range correctly, and in turn shoot those targets. Once inside the woods, we were somewhat protected from the wind, although it still had had a pesky way of blowing the pellets off our aimed trajectory. That aside, it was an enjoyable shoot and we were rewarded by hot drinks and homemade cakes after the shooting was done. Many thanks to those that came along and congratulations to the winners, alongside some raffle prizes donated by Air Arms. https://froburyairrifle.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Frobury-Festive-Wind.mp4
Congrats to our GP winners!
The GP series is a tough UK competition where each region in the country hosts a round over the summer period. Winners are decided from their best scores over the duration of the national league so getting in the Top 10 shooters in each division in this competition is a great achievement. Many congratulations to Frobury members: Amanda Holland who came first in C Grade, and Paul Whitehouse who achieved second place in Open class. well done guys!
