He's older than you thought. He just hides it well.

 
Absolutely brilliant shoot. I would have loved to shoot it.

Just back - awesome shoot 5:00 start this morning - nearly drowned on the Motorway (or so I thought) got going on time and some early dry stands then it started! I may have medically drowned twice! And I am sure every time I put my gun up it filled up with water and slowed my lead down! well that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!

A tropical storm of a  52 was the result which wasn't the end of the world, but would have loved to had seen some of those great targets without driving rain.

The sun then came out (lucky 11am rotation) and the afternoon went well on Red with a 60 more great targets and a pleasing 112 to beat next time!

This is how all shoots need to be run well done Steve, Ali and the team. :bow:

I'd like to echo the above.
Only negative was all the mud on Blue but it was never slipping underfoot in the stands - just a struggle to stay upright sometimes getting around the course.

Steve paced the targets around the course really well. I was happy with 52 on blue but faded a bit on red with 45 - failed to straight anything on that course and allowed myself to drop clays I could hit.

It certainly brought out the best in some shooters at the same time as breaking a few others.
Looking forward to the Troy FITASC now Steve

That was one of the best shoots I've ever been to, targets superb, organisation superb, atmosphere superb,

Mark winser 74 on blue 70 on red = 144 out of this world or what? and such a nice bloke.

Met and shot with no 1 topdog and his mate Trevor, really, really nice people, he even brought me a present , a stick he'd made himself and I love it.

I shot 54 on red and 59 on blue giving me joint 3rd in B class with 113. Nice to see a colt win B with 127, well shot Jem you did me by 1 those lads from Wales you shot with yesterday are the lads I normally shoot with

Big thanks to Steve ,Ally and all their helpers, nobody does it quite like you guys

 
Great shoot!  Great targets!  Great result for JB!

(Great oaf went down like a sack of sh*t in the mud on Blue, pulled the tri in my right arm!)  Unfortunately, I can't use that as an excuse for poor shooting - I shot the red second, and a damn sight better!

Good day though!  This is how shoots should be run, no hold-ups, no breakdowns, excellent organisation, great targets (did I say that already??)

:hunter:   :biggrin:

 
What a fantastic day, even though the red course did me in. Thank you to all my squad for the terrific shooting I got to watch and to George for the tips. Thank you to all the refs for the great job you do and to Allison and Steve for all their hard work to give us all a brilliant experience. And...I DIDNT COME LAST :) :)

 
Shot Thursday with dad. Simply the best set of targets I have shot in my 2 & a half years...great effort! Well done Steve and Ally!

Astonishing effort from Mark Winser to shoot a 144 on that course, even better in my opinion than the 98 in the English at Southdown.
