23 / 24 November....who, where & how many...

[Masic]

Started day at keston on a tricky course shot 81 moved onto horne and shot a steady 87! Kicked myself as dropped 5 on my last stand !!! Was 1 in wood up on tower with a low fast crosser and mini teal, teal was find just couldn't find crosser. Wrecked my card

81 at Cambridge GC, was pleased with that, it was a challenging but excellent shoot. On the squad of 6 shooters I can't recall one no bird or a trap breakdown.

Great variety of targets , sum of which were very testing but even if you could not get on them were usually paired with a more moderate bird.

So, went to sporting targets for the first time on Saturday. Has sone practice and explored a little.

I then went on to shoot a 60 bird sporting at Northampton ground (Sywell). Shot 37. Quite please with that!

This morning, went to Kibworth as usual, and shot 30 out of 50 on sporting, then did a round of fitasc and got 17 out of 25. Then finally shot a round of Compack and got a poor 11!! :-(

All in all though, a good weekend (for me anyway!).

Officially 3 months into my clay shooting hobby this weekend too!

Had a more relaxed weekend, no shooting Saturday.

Today went round Westfield and managed a joint second with 89 ex 120 for my last placing in C class joint second Phew. I felt like I am getting back to where I was a few weeks ago.

Looking forward to B class next weekend and seeing how I get on!

Oh think that most of SC crew were at Westfield today at some point, it looked like a bus full of us arrived for kick off!

shot valley view first thing shot a 71, taking to long to shot each stand as there was a lot of crowds and a few stands where you had to score yourself  :fie: ,then raced to westfield to shoot the 120 sporting good shot there today managed a 90/120 missing a few silly ones.roll on next weekend.

 

[Bebo]

The wheels fell off yesterday and I only managed 30 from 70. Slightly redeemed myself today with 31 from 50, but had a shocker of a first stand so should have been better.

91 at Westfield, brilliant shoot.

 

[chippy]

I got to cambridge for 9am start on the sporting, realised i had only got skeet chokes and 9 shot shells shot a 98 then raced to mid norfolk only had 83 shells so i had to shoot all the simmo pairs with one shot and finished on 97 there.

Then i woke up what a lovely dream

 

[Will Hewland]

91 at Westfield, brilliant shoot.

You are on fire Gary. Heard it was stiff..
Edit. Just realised it was 120. Gary you were quite good.

I was visiting my Mums in Lincolnshire - so found a local club - Haven Clay Shooting Club - near Haven Bank, Coningsby.

30 bird sporting + a small DTL layout.  Took two family members who had only shot once or twice before - so it was good to introduce them to some sporting targets, 

Lovely little club - steady targets over 4 stands, but strangely all sim pairs... which meant the whole thing rattled through really quickly. 

Shot OK - but a bit distracted by helping family out - but a really enjoyable morning. 

 

[Sian]

Started at Forhill which I had never been too before and which was an open shoot and quite challenging - we both enjoyed it and it helped to have the trailer take you back up the hill afterwards - saving time to dash to Westfield where I managed 54/120 - nearly at the half way mark, getting closer.   Really enjoyed it, got to get quicker at shuffling between two birds facing in opposite directions!  

 

[Paul_B]

Dropped into the local straw baler (a disservice as quite a smart challenging little ground) on the way back to Naarfark on Sunday after a day on Game in Yorkshire Saturday. Shot like a muppet and somehow managed 38/50 and joint 5th overall so chuffed.

 

[calamity]

Shot Westfield yesterday, great shoot Steve! Caught out by far too many targets - please be kinder next time. Stand 3 was a killer, never found the looper but smashed all four crossers, and stand 15? how much lead did that battue need!!! Ended on a rather poor 71. Targets definitely kept us on our toes.

Then shot Valley View, better score 73 but not a particularly exciting course. Was made somewhat better after receiving a second hug in one day from the 'pin up', so not all bad.
