| The RSrnYC Shooting Society continues to grow since its inception in
2001 and is now the envy of many of the sailing clubs throughout the
Solent. |
| We hold four club events a year, generally outside the main sailing
season, each at a different shoot ground within a short distance from
the club. Each shoot day is very convivial with three types of shooting
competition, hearty refreshments and copious amounts of banter. Please
read some of the shoot day reports on the web site to get a flavour for
our events. |
| Our shoot days are open to club members and guests whether shooting
or not. Indeed, those new to shooting are made especially welcome; with
dedicated instructors and loan of a suitable gun, with a view to guiding
the novice to a level where they can participate in the main
competitions. |
| Prizes are awarded on the day for the highest scoring club member,
guest and highest scoring gun after their handicap has been included.
The handicaps of recent guns are published on the web site. There is
also a prize for those hitting the Googly and for the highest scoring
team flush. |
| Throughout the year, those shooting on at least three of the four
days are automatically entered for our RSrnYC prizes to be awarded to
the highest scoring member, guest, lady and novice gun. If a gun attends
all four of the days, then the highest three scores are used for entry
to the RSrnYC prizes. |
| Although there are a number of trophies annually and prizes
throughout the year, the intention of the Shooting Society is to have
fun. We also participate in fund raising events for the RNLI and in the
Solent Yacht Clubs Shooting Challenge. |
| These events are an excellent opportunity to meet up with friends,
outside the sailing season, and compete irrespective of the size of
boat, power or sail! |
| In keeping with the current climate, the cost of the day is kept to
a minimum. At the appropriate time, full details of each shoot day will
be published on the web site and via club mailings. |
A very warm welcome is made to all those who wish to join us on one
of our shooting days.
If you have any concerns or queries, then please
do not hesitate to contact me, the Shoot Captain, Sally Sturt on 07767
