Southdown Grand Masters
Southdown Gun Club was one of the original grounds to hold a Grand Masters and we have held our Grand Masters for well over twenty years. That said ironically, there is much more competition in the championship shooting calendar nowadays, which is great for shooting in general.
Our Grand Masters is now a 120 bird Sporting competition shot on one day, it is a CPSA registered event open to anyone to book onto and shoot.
We would like to thank our sponsors Swatcom and Hull, who are very kindly supporting the event in 2025 with prizes in addition to the cash prizes.
2025 Results
Our 2025 Grand Masters Champions are:
Veterans- Geoffrey Evans
Ladies- Natasha Vadasz
Junior- Tristan Hockey
Colt- Max Baxter
When does it take place?
We like to hold the event at Easter and as everybody loves to shoot on a Bank Holiday we are holding it this year on Easter Monday 21st April 2025.
How does it work?
Standard Sporting rules apply in accordance with the CPSA regulations. The course is set across our Sporting layout and set as Competition level targets. This is one of the competitions in the year where we increase the number of birds to 120 which are shot over 15 stands.
We host all events with squadded shooting groups as this improves the shooting times and reduces waiting and queues. The Referees will walk you around the layout and take the scores and these are recorded back at reception and entered on the CPSA Shoot system.
We run the CPSA Shoot system which displays the scores on screens at the Clubhouse during the day. Final scores, and all the winners, are announced online by Southdown Gun Club following the competition, and also on the CPSA website.
The winners have their names engraved on our Grand Masters Champions board in the Clubhouse for all to see and in addition take home a trophy to hold onto for the year, also engraved with their name. Will you be next to join previous Southdown Grand Masters?
Are there prizes?
There are great prizes to be won. We guarantee a £500 cash prize for the High Gun. Plus guaranteed cash prizes for 1st in class, 2nd 3rd, there are also prizes and cash for Veterans, Ladies Junior’s and Colts. Which will include hearing protection from Swatcom and Pro One cartridges from Hull.
