Have I upset you at all, apols if so Oxfordshire today, earlier than expected so bumped forward into a squad of three to make a four, I was the blagger here, (as everywhere really) Lovely weather, not a cloud, not a breath of wind, lots of tree cover to keep cool(ish) under and no clay going...

SuperSporting has been a registered discipline for few months, the Owls event, like a few others around at mo are dropping registering the shoot and enhancing the prize fund accordingly. 

Ah my rather poor reply re Owls was that there much pushed thursday comp would probably entice the regular mid week shooter, 60 miles it may be but many of us motor further to some grounds, and a lot of the names there can also be seen at EJC.  The Coleys bash is as Jasper points out a three day...

Trinity’s point about the 42p a clay still holds, cartridges at £240 being reasonable. 

And the very same day just a few miles down the road Owls was full for an open comp, next week Coleys have 400+ booked in for a mid week jolly. 

Indeed it was, think it was just today though, dangling a carrot for us old donkeys. 

Oxfordshire Sportrap, I know its not ESP but its near enough. Pleasant surprise was the entry fee, seems they decided to drop it to £22.50 Comp to entice a few, don't know if it was pushed anywhere but gladly taken up. Cup of tea in a china mug, clean loos with no fear of catching anything nor...

Having reffed both ESP & FITASC it’s surprising how many shots don’t or claim not to know certain rules regarding quite a few things.

Being a (single day) England Selection shoot helped I would think 

Thank you, more so seeing you’ve only just put the Beretta World in your bag I see. 

Woozers, thats some daunting numbers, also asked what brand of cartridge? also the wad as there will be the single use plastic argument against plas-wads coming, 

CPSA scores show only ex 92? Was there a un recoverable problem with a stand?

Hopefully, team wise, all our superstars through themselves into the selection shoot process, the USA always look remarkably strong whereas have always felt a few of our shining lights appear to shy away. 

Is the 1000 a typo? staggering effort if not. These steel loads (brand?) were they plas-wad or fibres as there the growing pressure on single use plastics thats sure to come. Think you are a Briley choke user? are these all steel proof? only asking as am sure the one(s) I have says "lead only" ...

In current climate Im not seeing a viable alternative, the event has become a monster, think the last pre EJC one was hosted by Steve Lovatt at a green field site called "Sweetslade" though wether any ground other than EJC (and boy have they spent some money at the main ground in recent years )...

Or they had various interested parties weigh through the rather weighty tome, await a reply (or many) from their own said people then draft / edit then publish a limited but point made response ( whilst keeping a card or two up sleeve ) we of course don’t / won’t ever know, thing is a reply has...

Just this week BASC have released a further statement, in short yes a ban or transition away from lead for game / quarry  shooting but opposed to a ban on lead for clay shooting, as lifted from BASC Lead shot for clay pigeon shooting BASC’s position: We are opposed to the restriction...

Good luck, wishing you all the best, see you later in the year

You've been so aware how "intimate" the place is, despite constrictions no crossing targets which Ive been finding on larger courses, the hoped & rumoured extending is past what is always St10, work on a pathway is underway and from St10 it does very much look like there is ample scope for a...

Was chewing the cud with a ref today, this chap gets out and about virtually everywhere in the South, he does think that entry numbers at competitions are waning, yes lots of shoots on but a tail off, we also touched on “new blood” which is another hot topic
