One thinks (given the recent rebuttal by the trustees of the ground) that the title of this thread is misleading, the current tenants are exercising their right to end the lease early, the ground itself will continue to operate as a shooting ground.

They are, and they are, MrsJ likes them, hope thats out of your pocket 😉

If its a £20-£25 increase thats around 6% on £300/1000 28g cartridge ( and that £300 is hard to find ) not as much as some feared. Recoil is subjective / unique to each individual and there are lots of variables, me Im 60+, 6ft, sub 13st with a sub 8lb MK38 and bar a few 28gm White Golds...

9 years is well above the current (new) cut off for having your old classification voided, so now (or whenever you returned) you will be treated like a new member and be classified according to your submitted scores.

Coleys, 3rd of four welcome Saturday registered shoots, and an even more welcome dry, albeit chilly and then quite chilly day. In a squad of chums which always bodes well, our 12.30 start was on time and muppet here was first up, despite myself managed to straight three of the first four stands...

The CPSA rules do cover "unclassified" entrants, Rule 4.2 (b) for English Sporting, Ive no doubt the ground are both fully aware and implemented the rule for all such entrants on the day. If a member falls out with CPSA and then later emerges as a member of the Scottish Welsh or Irish body then...

Yes they are rules, sadly most are roundly abused though

Avoided those as Im not the best judge of targets, sadly costs are only going north and if just a few of the “targets only” chaps put a few bob in the knock on effect may prove the start of higher prizes, and yes we may see a few flying pigs

Always nice to see you both

Not wishing to be rude etc heres a few shooting related wishes for 2024. Scorers call is final, no pestering / badgering for hits.🤥 No more wanted nor unwanted advice given / hollered / shown to shooters mid stand. Not quite a 🤫 but its getting worse All score cards (part & full) get handed in...

There were 47 of you AAA AA boys there, you chaps do need to bang in 90s to get & stay at the top of the tree, now in saying that Im probably not ( really Im not ) the best to gauge this events difficulty against other shoots locally or otherwise.

Re county committee, be thankful you have one, Avon folded recently, Wiltshires has resigned en masse and my own county Gloucestershire is also struggling to fill places, its not a cheery outlook that volunteering lark.

Also came across a fair few non reg, they seem to be everywhere Ive gone too, its cash in till although how it works if ground restricts entry & sell out do they refuse entry to a member yet still have non members shoot it??

Hangmanstone today, got there just before noon, bit chiiler than of late but no wind & no wet stuff, not been for quite a while it is though a very friendly place and did see & natter to a fair few shooting chums, most not seen for far too long. Skipped first 6 stands as all looked 10+ deep. In...

I doubt very much that the two grounds have fallen foul of any “rule” nor is it s recent thing as at both family have shot at the “home ground” for as long as I can remember, nor are they alone in doing so. Crumbs even scorers at a lot of grounds shoot the “comp” and oft pick up in class...

Ah it was St10, you are indeed correct, for me that battue as it was so low the canopy of the trees also made it / caused it to be seen late, yes moving right further into the covered tarp house would have been the idea.

Coleys, well my forecast looked well off as got up to miserable drizzle which hung around all morning, must be same the 10 miles up road, thankfully not, but it did get chilly and quite blowy for second half of our 12.30 squad. Car park rammed, the tarmac area full of mostly pristine 4x4s, most...

Am off in morn to Coleys for the 2nd “winter series” of Saturday registered shoots, the weather rather thankfully looks fair as am bit fed up with the cold & rain, just took a peek at entries, virtually sold out, near 180! Thats quite a feat that. Do feel a bit for those starting after 1 as if...

Not a ground owner nor any financial interest in any, but I dont imagine for a moment that they are any happier than the shooter with no-birds, each is lost money to them whereas for us its mostly little more than simply annoying, Solar chargers, we are not blessed with a great amount of...

Ha, 🤣🤣 I think your confusing being keen but very rubbish to bagging, theres a very good reason for my scores, again well done you 👏
