Coleys today, only a month not seven since gun last out so not as "rusty" as I was. Shot pm, was overcast and very light almost suspended drizzle which thankfully cleared, some saw a bit of sun, not that I nor my squad of chums did.
St1 a pair of orange class, I was late putting on/changing onto my prescription glasses which at near 6 years old are an "old prescription" for those that do wear glasses will get the disorientation, add the fuzzy orange and what looked a steady pair / stand saw me 4 away. St 2 a five pair simo of going away with a fair teal, now me I don't like shooting "on the drop" so an early take at the teals peak saw another 2 away which in hindsight wasn't too terrible. The struggle with fuzzy orange targets re-appeared on St6 a simple going away with a low looper, from the floor I could see it clearly, on the platform lokkiinh at the flight against the background of tree / light / tee / light I lost it for most of its flight, a sorry 5 away here. St9 where a breakdown and no-birds a plenty caused a log jam, me Im up first and see the squad in front have a torrid time, manage a three all a distant high l-r, didn't touch a r-l crossing mini, I had lots of company in that mind. The chap following me shot a 7 here, quite something, even more so as he was following me. later heard a chum straighten this stand now that really was outstanding. A wobble or two to follow then a credible last stand so I could at least have a positive outcome.
Most had left by the time we finished, the few still in the clubhouse were all of the opinion that it had been one of there "tougher" shoots, there was nothing daft distance wise or stupidly fast, and yes in hindsight maybe St9 needed a simpler target with one of the two thrown, overall, given stats it was indeed a bit tougher than many shoots there have been, it made for a decent competition though, no miss one and its gone so to speak.
Now must try and shoot something/somewhere else between these Coley comps
