I’ve already had the pleasure of meeting several members of this forum over the past 12 months or so in person but I finally gave in and registered this week.
I’ve been shooting since I was a small child and shot clays a lot between the age of 12 - 18. Now, having finally got life on track(!) I decided it was time to dust off my gun, 19 years later! I started with the intention of doing one shoot per month, that has quickly moved to 2-4 per month!
I shot ESP for Oxfordshire as a junior so I wasn’t a bad shot all those years ago. Coming back to it has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows and I’m now really working on getting some sort of consistency from which to build on.
To give an idea of the highs and lows - joint high gun on 49/50 (missed last target!) at a reg shoot one week, a couple of weeks later 56/100 at westfield!
I don’t mind admitting I’m finding it pretty frustrating at the moment too and over thinking it is waking me up at night! However I’ve had some really good advice from people and read some good articles which will hopefully help that!
Also really proud to have the backing of the team at Brierley Guns too, it’s great the guys there have confidence in me!
Despite the bumpy road, I’m always looking forward to my next day out - a very cold afternoon at Weston Wood tomorrow next then!
