Hello from sunny Shropshire!

Afternoon,

Ok, I did fib a little bit, it’s not sunny in Shropshire; but at least it isn’t snowing!

I am new to the forum, and have been shooting for nearly 12 months. I have a Beretta Silver Pigeon, which I am now looking to replace with something a little better. 

Welcome aboard, a few folk on here from your area

Hi and welcome

I know, my spies informed me

you been talking to the gentleman Salopian who I chatted with at Hodnet    :thumbsup:

Yes he is or rather was on an undercover operation., passing intelligence on welsh folk crossing the border without propper papers.

Papers we don't need papers  :dwarf:   It was a minor cross border raid into the welsh marches as we have done for years  :drinks: :laugh:

Hello .... welcome to the Forum!

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

I do visit Hodnet on a Tuesday, work permitting! 

I like the Compak, it certainly makes you focus! 

I also do the skeet for a bit of extra practice too!

I am at Hodnet on Thursday for the Cheshire Shield too.

As in...you can’t go, or there won’t be another one? 

No, it is my wife who is ill this time.  2016, I had just had a shoulder operation. 2017, I had surgery on my left eye and was unable to shoot. I had contacted the organiser to say that a few of us would be going. Then my wife had to go into Hospital for radium treatment and now, as a result, we have good days and bad days. Hodnet is almost a 2 hour drive for me and if she took ill and needed assistance and I was so far away !  I only went to the local ground this morning and was away for some 3 hours in total, I got back to find that she had been quite ill but would not phone me, preferring  to struggle on her own. I will try to make the 100 skeet later in the year, at Sealand.

I am sorry to hear that. I hope she makes a full recovery.
