Sharp Shooters!

The Dolphin Clay Centre in Longton near Preston was once again the venue for Preston South’s annual clay pigeon shoot on a sunny September morning. 

Brothers were joined by family, friends and brothers from Preston 144 for what has now, unofficially, become quite a competitive event.

Whilst some of the more experienced brothers seemed to have a keen eye with some clean shots it was the youngsters who blazed the trail, apparently putting their success down to good 

co-ordination through hours of playing on games consoles. 

This questionable claim was borne out when the joint highest scores, a fantastic 22 hits from 25 clays was achieved by the son and grandson of brothers Steve Seed and Ken Dennis (Provincial President) respectively. 

Bro. Steve commented, ‘We had been thinking about having a shoot for some time and this our second event proved popular again. It’s a great way to experience something different. Maybe we should buy an Xbox for the circle to hone their skills in time for next year’.
