Well, me and Hazel went to Gunsite only on Sunday for the first time. Well as been stated before the facilities are limited at the moment however there was toilets and a catering van availble. We didn't arrive until 12:30ish some not much waiting around to shoot each stand in fact most I went straight into.
The course was pretty good although there seemed a lot of edge on clays being presented. The only stand I thought that was a bit silly was the close rabbit, which was running around 10- 15ft in front and up a motorcross jump and L - R going away bird, the rabbit broke on the first 3 times of calling and was adjusted by the site staff although it still broke at least twice for Hazel. The going away bird was difficult to see through the fence at the top of the bank. Some of resonable leeed required on some of the birds. Overall I think Sean Ponting and John Peck set a good course.
I shot a 54 which I was pleased with as I was using my Browning Ultra trap gun choked 3/4 and full which meant decesent smoke from the clays when on them. Once I realised that the gun was Isis pad was sticking on my vest to much I changed to a gun up shooting which helped

Gunsite.
Another good shoot from sean with varying targets from the close rabbit as said to some fast long stuff across the bank,a couple of floaty incomers that you could quite easily miss if you didn't give them full consentration all in all good mix of targets.
Thought i had shot crap as i didn't start to well but finish on 74 so not to bad.
4C's
As always a good set up from Brian.Not the usual going away woodcock on stand one but a pair of rabbits that i really struggled to get my head round.Then there was a pair of simo teal which i didnt fair to bad on. Down in the clearing between the two woods there was a r/l crosser followed by a l/r long fast midi at distance which needed a far bit of respect 7ex8 on this one just dropping off the back of one of the long midi's.Again a very good mix which need to be thought about.
Again thought i hadn't faired to well but finished with 77 which took the honours for C class. :hunter: :hunter:
So two good shoots and the company wasn't to bad either.
