Visited the Home International as Driver for Ed and Support and Caddy for Lainy.
Arrived on Friday for a practise.
Nice little 50 over six stands for £10
Stayed in the Slieve Donard Hotel in Newcastle County Down (nice choice SCTA)
The Saturday bought the competition day.
Shot over 14 stands
What a cracking estate, layout and set of targets.
I was Lainy's support, caddy and general target discusser which I may add I really enjoyed.
The teams were squadded and very well organised
The scoring system is something that should be adopted throughout squadded majors.
Each stand has the squad card for the stand and only the stand.
Its marked and removed by a runner back to scoring office.
Excellent way of scoring, no cards are carried by the squad saves all the faffing about.
The course was split morning the afternoon.
The targets were great I would have loved to have a go at them.
Nothing impossible great use of the sky. Speed distance and angle used to make the shooter concentrate but not to deceive.

Lorraine shot a 32 in the morning, dropping a few but it was the 'harder' of the two layouts in my view.
In the afternoon she shot really well scoring 40/50 to end on 72/100
4th overall Lady
Scotland Ladies 2nd to England by a clay.
I was so pleased for her she has had a few tough scores and worked really hard to bring it back.
Ed S helped her with some pointers on Fridays practise but it was mainly my excellent bag carrying skills.
