Was planning on doing this as it's a local ground but was tipping down when I woke up so stayed indoors, was hoping it might clear up from about 12 but got worse if anything so stayed at home in the dry.

Yep, for me I knew it was time to stop first week in January this year after a very cold and windy day at Southdown which I didn't enjoy one bit.   I spent the next 3 months watching my local football team, socialising, and relaxing in my spare time, plus Feb & March is year end for the...

I'm in AA, when I started I was doing quite a bit; 2 caddied rounds at Churchills most Saturdays then a registered on Sunday's with a bit of sportrap and compak, this was after having coaching with Ed and I wanted to put in to practice the changes and methods that we worked on. Now I rarely...

Looks like 95 won it, I was happy with 90 especially after missing three on the first stand.

Fred is a lovely fella, for about 4 years he called me 'Dave' despite my name being 'Dan' but I never had the heart to correct him but he's being calling me correctly now for a couple of years.  Personally he's never distracted me or given me advice. Sian, even I felt beaten by a couple of...

I shot Gatton Bottom last August BH and came 1st in A and second overall on the day with 91, shot well but didn't really enjoy it as it felt like a slog with lots of edgey stuff and anything that showed any face was a similar colour to the background it was being thrown against.

5 shoots in after my break (until May 1st I hadn't shot since Jan 2nd) and done ok, just a bit short of where I want to be, not really unstuck on any particular target but lapses of concentration in points, missing random pairs completely. 89 at Honesberie, 85 at Owls, 89 at Gunsite, 85 at...

No point in doing it if you aren't enjoying it. Ive carried on at the moment as I've been doing fairly well but am having Feb and March off; gun needs servicing, I've done a lot of shooting since May and need a mental break, plus it's my works year end which is usually pretty intense. Had...

Managed to get out a bit over the festive period. 86 at Hangmanstone on Boxing Day; shot well until about stand 9 where I missed 3 midi driven then all four of the long loopers on stand 10. 84 at Eriswell Lodge on 27th, this was annoying as was booked on at 2, left at 10.20 in the morning but...

Well shot, I was planning on going, however after being out all day in Somerset duck shooting in pretty terrible weather I really couldn't do with another 4 hours in the freezing cold.

91 at College yesterday which was enough for joint 1st in AA, just misread the tower bird on the last stand and didn't give it enough lead. Steady 86 at Gunsite today, good shoot which felt a bit tougher than usual; I didn't touch the teal on 3, the long battue on 11 and missed 3 of the fast...

College Farm yesterday; started out with a birthday brekkie and started the shoot very well, straighted the first 3 stands then managed to completely mess up stand 4 missing five there but made up for it by only missing 2 over the next 8 stands (tried to jump in to a rabbit way too early, and a...

Yesterday was probably my best day with the gun. Started at Churchills in the morning, a very misty morning should I add and shot a personal best 97.  Missed second bird on stand 3 (sim pair blaze from the platform) last crosser on 7, and second going away on 10. Then went to Owls Lodge in the...

That battue was funny as it never really opened up, and it was actually slightly quartering in, I missed the first 2 way in front then cut right back to 4-5 foot and hit the last 2. Midi on stand 10 was only about 20-25 yards. I did ok, an even 90 after missing very first trap bird on stand 1...

Meadowcroft today, pleasant morning but I didn't shoot very well.  Bit annoyed that they don't change the targets down there, most of it today was the same as it was last time, most stands had at least one target that was the same, 5 were identical.   Felt a bit cheated out of £40.

I had a pretty good weekend behind the gun. 88 at College Saturday morning, 93 was HG and I missed 4 on the last stand sadly, then a pretty tidy 91 at Gunsite yesterday in the nice weather. Took my little French Bulldog 'Dennis' out both days, his first time out shooting and he absolutely...

May 2020 I bought 10000 Pro Ones for £250/1000, ordered another 10000 as was almost out. Picked them up yesterday at £265/1000, increase of £15/1000 but in reality it's nothing in relation to what I spend as a whole on shooting.

First time at a registered in a while that wasn't squadded and althouch I got round in about 2 hours it did feel a lot longer, had 2 or 3 stands with a bit of a wait so the shooting didn't feel like it flowed quite as it usually would. Not sure what can be done better, my only thought would be a...

Nice to see you mate. I started at 10.05 and had a bit of heavy rain to start with which luckily stopped after a couple of stands but the gusty wind stayed about but I didn't have many affected by it; one battue on stand 2 went well shot of where it was supposed to which I hit but then went way...

Struggled at Owls Lodge a bit on Thursday, one of those afternoons where I didn't start well and missed 2 or 3 on most stands for 77.  Combination of tiredness from my work exploding over the last couple of weeks and some of it was wind-affected but a pleasant afternoon none the less. Did a bit...
