Took advantage of a early finish today and turned up here, first time I've been in 15 years. Ground looked good,ample parking, and a awesome couple of towers.
Myself and Julian Morris set out with a marker (after asking his advice on which was the easy std to start on) he took us to a 25m crossing rabbit and a 30m crosser !! and he was about right, next std 40m high crosser simmo with incomer out at 35m !! liking this was out comments to each other. pair of driven at about 20m, then close orange bird thrown to the floor and a fast quartering away high ducky thing, onto a tricky simmo pair over head and a fast edgy going away. Past the club house to the next very quick std black hurtling across you with a simmo slightly slower orange. personally crashed and burned on the BIG tower 30m+ std and a evil 40m midi both with the wind behind them and unknown to me being pushed well to the left..........walked off here with a 1 :fie: Julian did a cracking 9/10, moved on to the big earth mound blind crosser appears at 45m and zippy chondel at 20m off the top of the mound, moving on to the other side of the mound we were treated to a edgy climbing out fast std and a close curling away orange, our final std consisted of a report pair of quick teal, left one was a std and the right one a very quick midi (not coming back, how teal should be)
Thinking that 1 on the tower had done me we both returned to the club house, on counting the cards we had both finished on 85 and thought a 91-92 was a suitable score for the layout and no doubt if it had been a reg comp on a weekend with 20 or so AA boys on show it may well have been.
Entries were well down so we were fortunate to be joint H/G's, as only one shooter can go through to the final, a shoot off was set up for us ......the big tower !!! but thank god as crossers but I mean crossers nearer 70m... than not !!! Julian with his Blackgold 6.5 and me with the BM3 7's. I chose to stick with the 3/8 chokes after Julian went half-tight half and did a 3 .... missed my first pair pushed on big time to see 5 of them killed well.
So I go through to the final, there is no prize money on the day, the entry is £34 for the comp, the targets are pretty good, 100 practise is £28, targets changed weekly, I will go back for targets of that variety and I may just shoot it for practise,but felt it was worth the money today
I would put it in the RBSS and EJ churchills targets quality, it's on every Friday but check the dates from 10am to 3-30 pm ,it's well worth the £28 for a practise round but if you feel like a chance to get to the final £6 is not out of the way
