British Western Shooting Society

Just a note to thank Donald for an exceptional comp. at Leek.

New, great, scenery and lots of interesting stages.

Well done!! I brought a friend, his first shoot. He said afterwards that "I felt I would enjoy the weekend, but it far exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to the next one".

The Leek shoots are not to be missed!! Last North-Cotes shoot also was of a very high standard! We're being spoiled! Keep it up.

Sad that Haverford West is gone. I'll really miss that venue and the wonderful Welsh scenery that made the journey there so enjoyable.

Hi guys, just a bit of an update from the firing line.

The stalwarts who attend every meeting have been joined in the last year or so by a few new members.

These newbies obviously don't understand the rules of the game, at all!!

They seem to think that getting faster and more accurate is going to endear them to their fellow shooters.

Well I am here to tell them that its about time that they stopped all this self improvement and slipped back into the pack and wait untill some of the older members allow them to show their skills.

It's just not on,,,do they not know the British way of things,,,has this Western idea of gun-fighting gone to their collective heads??

I just don't know where it is all going to end up. Will we be saddled with a bunch of fast, accurate shooters who direspect their elders?

Could it be that I may have joined this sport a little late in life? Could it be that I may be a little slow and possibly jealous of this youthful posse?

Regards to you all, Grumpy Gunfighter.

Happy Christmas to all, and have a merry New Year

Well here it is 2010. We had our first shoot of the year andwe all enjoyed it.  Even though on the Sunday many people couldn't attenddue to the weather we still had a great time and a good turn out. We hope everyoneenjoyed it and we hope to see you all at Leek in about a month.

Good shooting all!!

Howdy guy's and gals, I keep coming across articles in various blogs and forums where people express disbelief in our sport.

They are totally ignorant of the fact that we can still have firearms, never mind that we have competitions.

Even some of my own club members thought that the BWSS died with the pistol ban.

Please try and spread the word among your friends and colleagues that we are still out there and looking for more members to join our ranks.

Once again we have had another great shoot down in Barry for the first of i hope many. Deputy Dewey put on a brilliant shoot and set a great atmosphere. We had a good turn out of about 12 people. I'm sorry if the dates where at the wrong time for some people so well organise it so everybody knows.

With a BIG THANKS to Deputy Dewey and Slack Alice

Once again another great turn out at Leek with a total of 16 shooters on the Sunday.  With genrally the only one problem. The weather was in our favour and everyone had a fun time. We have pictures a few videos and the results that will be put on shortly.  We all had fun. Some rewards will be givin out to the people that won them, the next time I see the certain individual. We are looking forward to next year and If dates can be booked A.S.A.P we can all put the date in our shooting calenders. Thanks to all who came and we hope to see you soon.

Great shoot thanks to Donald and family for setting it up. We all get p***ed off and wonder why we bother at times and a weekend like this tells you why. Seven stages each day and good weather what more can you ask. Once again thanks Donald but make your bloody shotgun poppers bigger

We had another brilliant shoot down at Haverfordwest. With the bigget turn out I've seen in a while. All in all it was a fantastic weekend and i canspeak for everuone it is very enjoyable.

Hi McCauley, I've just been trawling through the members details and noticed that some of us are down as 'Moderators'.

Does this have any significance or is it just a typo and should read 'Member'?

Do any of our members have 'posse names' or do we just exist as individual members because there are not enough people from each club?

Just to start the ball rolling, is there any objection to Angel Eyes and Mule being known as the Mansfield Marauders?

Hello? Hello?....is there anybody out there???
