Southdown Selection / Inter counties 2/3 July 16

Back to this old chestnut. The scorer should call the losses. It should be disputed at the time. At the very least the scorer should allow the pair to be shot stain.

I had a clay today with holes in it called as a loss. Another shooter had it land beside him, the ref would not allow it saying it was not broken. I told him it was a CPSA rule if visible holes in it then it's hit. Here's the rule which most of them don't know.

Still they are always right and we are always wrong



[SIZE=8pt]TARGET DEFINITION “HIT” [/SIZE]

[SIZE=7pt]3.10 Has had a visible piece broken from it, is completely destroyed or, in the case of targets that are presented whole and during flight holes are seen to appear which have been caused by the Competitor’s shot. [/SIZE]

Not sure if anyone has started one already but shot the ESP 100 birder there today as part of the Kent team and thought it an excellent layout, only a couple of stands that could reasonably be called close the rest medium to long birds and enjoyable to shoot. Nothing beyond 50 yards but it was relentless in a good way with plenty of speed on some of them too. I shot some good stands straight but fluffed stand 3 with a poor 4x8 to end on 83 which could have been a fair few less so not complaining. 

Shot Horne Open on the way back and carded a 94, girl on rabbit stand defo mis-scored me a rabbit I'd hit which I didn't say anything at the time but mentioned it to her and the organisers later as a point of principal but refused their offer to rectify it in case some numpties get all emotional  :baby: :lol: .  

Happy days shooting.

I shot it yesterday, thought it was a good shoot but I made a bit of a mess of it starting badly but finished quite well.

Stand 3, was that low R-L blaze then that horrible L-R slow long standard which was quite a way out?

Did you shoot the pool shoot? I tried shooting it but the scorer didn't know what he was doing (old boy kept sending the wrong targets out) and they were having a few issues with traps.  I like to shoot the pool-shoot just to get my timing going and I should have walked off.  I hope they don't go back to where they were towards the end of last year with lots of break-downs.

Yep that's the one, missed 2 of each which is poor as the stand was no more than par 6/7. I tend not to even shoot the SportTrap round because it can get a bit of a long day, never even knew there was a pool.

Pool shoot is by the barn at the bottom of the car park, maybe it wasn't on today due to the problems they were having yesterday?

I got all the blaze and only one of the 2nd target, needed more lead than I thought.

I travel 85 miles from Basingstoke so I make a bit of a day of it down there.  Get there for about 9, shoot the pool at 930, shoot the sporting, bit of breakfast, then shoot the sportrap which I try to book for 1.30 then home.
