I Shot the services day yesterday in the pouring rain , a disabled RAF veteran shooting with five Royal Marine Commandos. Great bunch of guys and despite the adverse weather we thoroughly enjoyed the shoot. "TOP GUN" in the squad? The RAF of course (just had to use the top gun pun) however by...

Northampton this weekend. A Big thank you to them and all the grounds/helpers hosting clay shoots for disabled shooters during the 2014 season.

STARTING AGAIN. In my haste to rally the troops and with Tinker Bells poster campaign I assumed ALL of you were aware of the complexities of funding for paralympians and the disabled sportsperson. From your replies I fear you DO NOT. There are many sports bodies , agencies and grants out...

Hi RobertBeard, No lambasting intended. Would like to think all those like yourself who are helping would say so in the post that's all. It was the lack of posts to do with disabled shooting that prompted me to join Shootclay, had I not joined would you be aware? Tinker Bell posted in...

Thanks Simon. Point taken

Hi James Johnston, I haven't demanded money! AND I don't think disability Humorous, having money to shoot at club level is one thing, having money to prove you are capable of representing your country is another. Who sponsors the able bodied shooter? NOT THEMSELVES! I have asked for help for...

Hey Guys, You ain't seen nothing yet. If you have a disability it's a double wammy . When is the human race going to have a reality check? Blame the system , blame the shooter but at the end of the day it is an intolerance of your fellow humans and jealousy! At some point in time you will have...

Hi All, Now over 200 are reading this post its good to see, and maybe more help is forthcoming? PLEASE GO TO MY START AGAIN BLOG

Shot 1 thru 12 like you. Definitely the angles and speed catching me out. Managed 10/10 on the slow little orange going away and the chandel to redeem a bit of self respect after two abysmal stands. Didn't see much of the White going away target as sat down. Jim said he didn't mind the fence...

Welcome Botch . I'm a newbie to shootclay too

Copied from ISSF events forum:- Hi Nicola (tinker bell) found your thread about us Disabled shooters being the poor relations. Great to get a response. Now how many CPSA or even Non CPSA registered grounds are out looks like the poster campaign is underway. Like many of the disabled...

Great Nicola. Where do I find the thread? This needs more airing! Sad about Brian , must keep his DSG legacy going , so come on all you shooters.

Well Nicola and Paul glad to see my posts have brought the lack of support for the DISABLED SHOOTER to this forum and beyond I hope. We need people like yourselves to fight our corner. Banging our heads against a brick wall in the late 80's early 90's. Kate Panayi was our torch bearer back then...

Hi mike, read the comments about 9's. No one has mentioned about Pete Wilson using his 9.5 shot RC excellence first barrel during his olympic success. Did you use 9's when we shot at Gunsite 9th march? see you out and about

Matt, You could help and I hope Paul and yourself touch base. The sport needs people like you to help the less able bodied to enjoy such a great hobby.

Paul, Looked up my old address book, Jose Pina, Escatron ,Zaragoza ,Espana. He was good, what beat me more so than his good shooting was my gun. I lost targets due to a broken firing pin. In all fairness to Browning they repaired it overnight for free but I could not make up the lost targets in...

Yes Paul , stillionas charilmbos was one of the first with andreas antinou who shot with one arm as did my mate don craig . stillionas charilmbos must be in his 80's or older now, great bloke exchanged xmas cards until a few years ago. Back to coaching- it is quite different sitting to shoot as...

Paul, Its great that those with a handicap are classified as such in our national and some international disciplines, WISH I were still young enough to keep up the pace to travel to such events. The atmosphere was always GREAT and in my days of winning all the shooters were very helpful. Won...

Thank you Sian. Seems like fun from wot I'm readin'

LAZY AREN'T I? OAP shooter just getting back into some comps. Still useless from the knee down and the neck up but have won Gold and Silver Handisport FITASC for "GREAT BRITAIN". Not much hope now so will leave it to the new guys in the Disabled shooters group. Best of luck with OLYMPICS , we...
