    Shoot reports and news 2024

    Well this is a slow moving thread compared with years gone by, after a summer plus not shooting went to Coleys reg today, not too warm and thankfully the threatening cloud or three that looked full of some wet stuff didn't deliver. Hit a few, some surprisingly well but as before missed some (er...

    British open sporting 2024

    Young MrC Faulds has uploaded some content from the final shoot off, quality wise its as good as your going to get, in ones own opinion sporting clays is not really a spectacle that lends itself to being streamed.

    Shoot reports and news 2024

    Chap you are being rather harsh on yourself, as surely 77 in B is 👏 and not the 🙁 day you think you have had? B being “won” with a high end 80 (AA AAA territory) is not / should not be the norm

    Shoot reports and news 2024

    I, and to be frank not too sure many others would know or be aware of anything about this, if the chap is, and as you say its highly he is one and the same then its not a good look. Thank you for correcting me, I may be a bit too much of a soft touch with these other / multi membership types

    Shoot reports and news 2024

    First of all well done you on the improvement, I will though mention that I think you are being harsh on the chap that's leading B class (106ex120 = 88%), I will confess to taking peek at his stats and it very much looks like he has not shot most of those disciplines very much at all, the...

    Ian Coleys - Road Closure

    Would add that the route will take you past both The Bathurst Arms and The Colesbourne Inn should the need for fortification arise, sadly the Seven Springs has closed.

    Knew Dan & Emily from their time at Prescott Shooting nr Cheltenham, both were good hosts and like many “regulars” didnt hear a bad word, wish them, and the new owners of Orston all the very best

    Elephant in the room

    Tend to agree with you, although registered sporting appears healthy its masking the overall decline in all other events, there is a regular closure of non-cpsa grounds which go very much under the/our radar. Point 3 & 4, due to cost etc have always felt that the "market audience" for take up of...

    Oxfordshire shooting school

    Wish you good luck and that you enjoy every moment, it can become rather addictive. As for the Oxfordshire, if you've not been before it is indeed a lovely little ground with very friendly staff and I can heartily recommend the tea (out of a real mug none the less) and the cakes ( had many of...

    CPSA Registration What next ? What to Expect ?

    A non classified entrant can shoot competition, only its a bit of a tall order to win anything doing so, shoot the few qualifying stands well and your in AA A and thats big fish territory, have a few bad stands and the upcoming stars in B & C will fly by you. Do though mention “targets only”...

    Elephant in the room

    With a new government, with a seemingly free hand to push through whatever it takes, or doesnt take too, should we clay bashers be looking over our shoulders?

    Vests and Insurance

    For the individual Im aware of thats not the case, this is too small a community to hide such

    Celtic but not

    Shoot reports and news 2024

    Fair few years back used to shoot the old style fitasc set by Steve Nutbeam at Longridge, this your 50-break-50 and all done in half day, this system restricts overall entry to 48 a day 96 weekend which is really restrictive income wise. Like you I really struggle with the long days, mentally...
