Mrs Fuz got away with a 1. I think, as they were going over the left shoulder instead of straight driven, quite a few struggled with line as well as leed. when they are that far up it doesn't take a lot to be off line!
I think you've nailed it there Fuz - on arriving at the stand, we were instructed by our ref that we couldn't shoot them as crossers (i.e. as they passed and went behind us) and had to shoot them as driven. Not sure it would have made a difference to my result thoughtone of our squad straighted the driven, with 0's
I dropped 5 too. And driven are my best usually. Btw I tried a pair as crossers and missed both! At least I was hitting 1 as driven. My mate told me how much leeed he saw to break them and I know I was behind them..I think you've nailed it there Fuz - on arriving at the stand, we were instructed by our ref that we couldn't shoot them as crossers (i.e. as they passed and went behind us) and had to shoot them as driven.

Cheeky boy! That's about what I aimed for last time I was there. Except the 40 yard tower. Reckon I've got that down nowGet on over there
Yes Will, you're dead right - I was so far behind them, I doubt they were in the same postcode as my pattern
Yes, I suffered BADLY from not adjusting. Then cured it well for a while; now it's creeping back.. Grrr..Yes Will, you're dead right - I was so far behind them, I doubt they were in the same postcode as my pattern
I was once taught how to shoot birds requiring between 12 and 15 feet of lead, at Fauxdegla (it's easy there, as they can set up any amount of lead you want against a big sky backdrop), and yet I failed to adjust to these driven birds at the Pyke and steadfastly didn't use the old, "if you miss, give it more lead" totem. In essence, I kept recreating the shot where I'd missed, telling myself, "they should be there", when, in reality, they were clearly nowhere near. Schoolboy error - if you're not hitting them, do something different - I didn't, and got the score I deserved on that stand.
Thanks mate. Normally I'd agree,but it really wasn't that tough. Always slow to get going when there's no pool shoot to loosen up on. If you'd seen what I missed on the first 2 stands you'd slap me haha.Well shot Wayne nothing the matter with 101 mate...well done..
Big bloody slap !!!!!! Ha ha......your a honest guy so well done and theres always next year...I may give this ago next time seems a good one..catch up soon mate..
Haha! Anyone who shoots better than me can patronise me. As I'm unregistered and inexperienced that's probably everyone else here. I'm secure enough in my little victories to not be intimidated by a lack of ability right now. Next time I'm over there I'll ask Coach to benchmark some stuff for me so I can see just how hard it was.I actually edited it as it read as if I was being patronising to your shooting ability
