Yes I did it earlier this week, was definitely a good event, they have certainly put a load of work into getting that course set up. The whole thing ran very smoothly and the refs are ground staff were brilliant. Top marks to all involved

Surely the pattern thrown is a combination of choke and cartridge, so change one and you’ll get a different result. A choke that gives a reasonable half choke pattern with one brand of cartridge may not give the same result with another brand of cartridge.. Just find what gives you the best...

You worked for the wrong people then, I always stayed in the best hotels, ate at the best restaurants and traveled business class, 25 years of “ jolly” hard work 😉

Not sure why they need to have “all the CPSA staff located en-masse,”pretty sure that didn’t happen back in the 80’s and 90’s when I last did these events, 1 perhaps 2 max on the final day seems to be what I remember.What do they add to the shooters experience? Sounds more like a jolly that they...

At 69 pence per target it had better be something very special, it beats me how they can justify that price

OK with your “very limited experience “ please tell me what a low end cartridge is when compared to a mid range cartridge, in my 40 plus years of shooting I’ve yet to find a cartridge that makes any noticeable difference to my scores, I’m sure that if you give the top shooters so called low end...

The Hull Superfast 24grm are very good will give excellent kills and low recoil

Yes, it appears that they haven’t sorted out all of the problems with their server. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Beretta did one some time ago but don’t think there was much demand for it.

Think you have just answered your own question, if you don’t notice any differences in keep your focus on hitting the clays and leave the plastic/ fibre issue alone

Blimey, I thought Westfields was a premier ground but if people are getting peppered with shot how can the CPSA allow them to hold competitions under their name? Especially when you say that they are well known for it…

Richard, when I started shooting registered competitions some 40+ years ago, entry was £20 to £25 for 100 clays , £5 of that went into the prize pot , now entries are £45 to £50 for 100 clays but it’s still £5 that goes to the prize pot ….. Now I’m told clays are £80 to £90 / 1000 so you see...

Richard you forgot to add good testing targets at reasonable cost and decent prize money for those who get podium places in each class Did I just see a pig fly past the window

As I have mentioned many times before, I am not a member of the CPSA but surely the association belongs to the members and if the members are not happy with this process of classification , then the members can get it changed? Or is it just to difficult to find a system that everyone is happy with?

High Gun was taken by Charlie Faulds… A fabulous shot but several comments were made! I also note that one of the Lovatt lads won Westfields… from a sportsmans viewpoint I don’t think family members or ground staff should be allowed to enter the competition let them go birds only by all means...
