Don't forget this year scores are pretty much irrelevant, except it will count to your averages, and for your own peace of mind. They are just a daily qualifying score for the finals day. Doesn't matter one Jot who is top of any class during the week, only the Sunday after the 75 birder.....Just saying. :smile:

Just out of interest what does it cost to enter an event like this?

thanks

Sportrap was £47 and the Sporting was £59 per person, these at targets only.

Shot both yesterday and I have to say it's a real test of your own ability, fair but you have to work for every clay. Both sport trap and sporting ran very smoothly with no hold ups. Steve has a way of just taking a clay here and a clay there off of you and at the end you think where did all those losses come from. Everything is smashable but it's more about gun control. 

I shot the sport trap with Kevin Jobling who is on 94 I shot 85 so a few short but good to watch him and how he took on the doubles. 

Sporting I shot with Nick Hendrick who shot 111 and I shot 101 and again to see the level of concentration of a top class shooter and how he handled the losses when they happened was a lesson in itself. If you want to improve go and watch a top shooter miss a clay and see how they turn that into winning score 

for all of you who have yet to shoot, work hard and above all have fun. 

Daz. 

Shooting Both on Saturday, really looking forward to it no matter what the score at the end says. Its about the test of skill and having a laugh when all the shooting is done.

Add on cartridges,fuel,food and loss of a day's wages(self employed) it ain't cheap.
