Just got back, Enjoyable shoot even very wind affected. My first time at Sporting Targets and deffo won't be the last. Lovely clubhouse very well stocked shop, more varied targets than you could ever hope to shoot in a pay and play day. Shame its such a bummer to get to from me.
The course I thought was on the easier side, nothing particularly rangey and a lot of incoming point and shoot off the end of the barrels stuff. Wind made it a lot tougher especially the r-l quartering away chondel on stand 9, wind kept hitting it and really turning the afterburners on!
I shot a PB 80 which given the conditions I am happy with but still feel even with the wind I was 4 or 5 light. dropped a few silly ones. Really enjoyed the simo bunnies and the driven pair from the 120 ft tower (dropped the last bird of the day here by over leading it doh!) and the novelty rat/bunny rolling down a tunnel then out onto a steep bank that had to be shot before a cone placed just at the bottom was fun even though I over led the first and a strong gust of wind actually lifted both me and my barrels up for the 3rd.
Shame about the difference in weather conditions across the comp so far but lying 7th at time of writing I am quite pleased.
Not overly sure how I feel about the PB as it was on the soft side, but at the end of the day they still have to be shot. I am 12 behind Ed, 10 behind Chris Childerhouse, 8 behind Jez Towell and only 3 behind Chris Broomfield and in a normal reg shoot I'm usually 20-30 behind those guys so I'll take it as a victory
Dont get caught in the storm :.: :.:
