I think the query was more wheres the list not where’s my money

3 days? Weds Thurs Fri & Sat being four? One rather large quirk on the current format I’ve never really liked is the multiple options some have in order to “qualify“ and the final day is a free for all bun fight, ones own view being that if you qualified in a class or category but not as one of...

Not the first time this has occurred, and yes agree that ideally it should be avoided.

Firstly thank you for your kind comments, will confess to the odd ramble which oft bears little reference to any real details of the shoot, the clay bashing or lack of is just part of the ( mostly very enjoyable) day etc. No offence taken at all, regarding my “issue” I’ve seen a couple over the...

And very nice to meet you, normally have a named Hull vest but going undercover whilst in this current rut. Well shot today DazW hope you drive back was plain sailing as a lot of traffic around today

Oxfordshire today, again a last minute works diary change gave me chance to drop in first thing, well for a 10am start due to two chaps pulling due to combining duties. Last month it started wet then went full monsoon, today it threatened drizzle, none appeared and got quite pleasant by end. was...

And yes one has seen very experienced shots try to take advantage of such, oh they laugh when error of ways pointed out

Coleys today, unsure if it was last months reg or the rather dismal weather forecast that impacted entry which was well down on pre - Worlds offerings. On at 2.10pm, drove down from Dudley where it had been dry, didn't see wet stuff until Junction 11 M5, rocked up at 1.30 ish. Looked wet, was...

One layout? I cannot for the life of me seeing Barbury permitting anyone shooting the championship/selection shoot targets as practice, nor would the vast majority of members there want nor enjoy doing so, in short there will be plenty of practice stands open I’m sure.

Exactly my point, most of the clay bashing around here is the twice monthly straw balers all with fibre restrictions, they will simply cease to exist, the "big" grounds on my doorstep Barbury, Coleys, Ladyswood again are fibre only would surely become tumbleweed farms at those prices

Question, if and it’s a monster if, is that with a possible lead ban on the horizon, of the few alternatives steel being mostly plaswad due to cost, bismuth being eye watering expensive how are all these fibre only grounds going to survive

Am not familiar with steel shot, let alone steel loads for clay, those of you that do is there a non plaswad cartridge at prices not eye watering for the clay market? Virtually all the clubs and grounds local to me have a “fibre only” policy which may impact business etc

Unaware if there is a reasonable price felt wad steel cartridge for us clay bashers on market given all the “fibre only” grounds?

Oh, mind I think it’s an attempt to stave off a potential lead shot ban?. As with all (and if it happens) as long as it’s an enforced ruling and within a reasonable time frame? 4g less shot, another excuse for I that

Coleys Open 120 has 612 spaces and tbf has looked to have sold, given everything, very well, the previous shoot nor the £70 entry (£0.58 ppt) not putting many off?? I reckon that every entry is putting £19.60 into prize fund, ( Coleys usually £42/100 birds only) theres quite a few entered that...

Oxfordshire today, not been for over a year and place is still as welcoming as I fondly remember, tea in a china mug, I resisted a burger, despite the pleasant wafts and had what was a near family size portion of cherry Bakewell tart ( it’s not me it’s this flipping predictive text that’s put in...

Ok, lets assume all of the other countries sending teams are, like the England Team using a selection shoot process, how, for those in the home country (that's all EE numbered CPSA members) do you see this qualification process working for the individual entries? If your idea is a goer how about...

At present am of opinion that English Sporting clay target shooting ( minority sport / pastime at best ) is at present doing well to hold its own, any attempts to curtail by restricting participation at flagship events etc will I fear backfire. It’s inclusivity at “majors” should be seen as it’s...

My query is more how does an overseas shooter actually qualify for your restricted entry World Championship? Crumbs I’m just imagining the muddle over here what with instead of them”fastest on keyboard” entries months in advance your suggesting a selection shoot process that would need to be so...

Oh, there’s me thinking there were entries of teams / individuals from many other nations? If so and CPSA decided to restrict entry to the UK event how does that work for the overseas participants?
