RESULTS – District Air Rifle Competition 2025

Each person could have scored a maximum of 150 and each team of six people therefore could have scored a maximum of 900.
The winners of the Scout Competition were 3rd Hampton Hill (Talons) with a score of 506.
The winners of the Explorer Competition were Cook ESU with a score of 537.

Apologies if any names are incorrect on the results documentation, but a high proportion of the people taking part could not write clearly when they completed the team sheet when they booked in.
Trophies and certificates will be given to the relevant teams in the near future, however as Ossie has unfortunately passed away, we will have sort-out alternative arrangements for their engraving / production as Ossie had been in charge of these activities for many years.
Thank you to the volunteers who ran the competition by undertaking the following tasks:
- Organising the Competition – by taking the team entries and arranging for the Twickenham Rifle & Pistol Club to be opened up for the week.
- Range marshals – who checked & sighted the guns before the competition started, counted out 1965 pellets and ensured that the competition ran safely.
- Team Arrival Administration – Booking in the 20 teams and ensuring that the teams’ details were correct and that they had the correct number of targets
- Runners who collected 393 targets from the ranges and brought them to be scored.
- Scorers who counted 1965 holes and then added up the scores and input them into the scoresheet.
Also a big thank you to the members of the Twickenham Rifle & Pistol Club https://www.twickenhamrpc.co.uk/ who opened up the ranges at 18:30 each evening and didn’t leave until after 21:30. The Club presented certificates to the highest scorer in each team and each person who scored over 100.
