Congratulations to Ian Robb after winning the 100ABT Selection shoot on 31st May with a score of 94.Please note that there are shoot date changes.  See fixtures list.

 

Welcome to the HDCPC website

We would like to encourage newcomers to the sport of clay pigeon shooting to come along and try out our DTL (Down The Line) and ABT (Automatic Ball Trap) facilities at our new clubhouse.

Experienced shooters are also welcome and many of our competitions are SCTA registered events.  There are also a few 50 target competitions for the less adventurous!

All shoots including practices are now in STEEL or non-lead shot only.

 

Steel Cartridges

Cartridges will be available at the ground from Sandy Gall.  It should be noted that they are from personal stock and will therefore be available in small numbers for visitors, beginners and other shooters who don't have shotgun certificates.  Regular steel shooters and local members should buy direct from suppliers such as R.MacLeod & Son (Tain), Trap & Field Supplies (Lhanbryde) or other stockist.

 

Shoot Date Changes

There has been a change to our shoot calendar in June & July.  There will now be a 100ABT as advertised in the SCTA Bulletin and a 100DTL registered shoot as on our fixture list and website.  Please bear with us whilst running the shoot as there will be a delay due to the two shoots running together whilst avoiding the overlap of the targets on the layouts.  We will try and get both shoots through as soon as possible.  Early entries would be appreciated.

July shoot dates have been switched so that the Club & Colts Shoot is now on 5th July and the 100 Highland ABT will be on 26th July to avoid a clash with the South Area Championship.

Apologies for the inconvenience caused by the changes.

 

Last Shoot - 100ABT Selection Shoot (31st May 2009)

There was a record attendance (steel shot) for the first ABT shoot of 2009.  42 guns competed and although the day was sunny, the wind and quite a few 'no targets' didn't help.  However,  Hugh Pinkerton wasn't hindered, shooting a very impressive three 24's and a 25 straight.  This earned him high gun and equal record score with steel shot ahead of Ian Robb on 94.
