If you want to join me (and my husband and sometimes others as well) at Willow Farm near Tenterden next time I'm there you are more than welcome. Bit of a drive for you, but at least in the same county.

EJC for me too. I'm a shortarse as well, but didn't think 1 was a problem. Agree that 12 you didn't get to see the second bird for long. Stand 6 was just tough (2 for me). I mucked up the scaffold as well. The rest was lots of 1s, 2s or 3s away. Pleased with straighting stand 5 and only...

This. I shoot a sporter, but I see loads of rib because that's the way I like it. It's great on crossers, they never disappear behind my barrels, always visible above the bead. It's less good on teals etc, as I can't just blot them out and pull the trigger, most teals I see above the bead...

on further reflection, deleted.

Nope. How many people play, or have played, darts or snooker? Pretty much everyone has had a go at both, they understand the rules and can relate to it. Both of those hobbies televise well. Joe Public associates guns with drive-bys, incels going mad and killing wildlife. Clay shooting is...

I've got my 100 yards backstroke and I clay shoot.

Not yet, also doing it tomorrow. A couple of people I shot with earlier in the week had done it, felt it was a little less brutal than the World Sporting.

I actually felt I shot a bit better on the Red Course, but still didn't capitalise on the easier targets. I dropped 3 on Stand 1 and 4 on Stand 3, both of which were relatively straightforward. But then I go and hit two of those monster battues on Stand 2 and straight the driven target that...

Less windy today, hopefully that'll help a bit.

You did better than I did. I missed loads of the softer stuff, head not really in it to be honest, had my dog put to sleep Sunday and all focus on shooting seems to have gone - to the extent that I wasn't even feeling nervous about it. Of the stands you mention - Stand 7 I scored a 6 on, missed...

Apart from losing more of your money when you try to sell it on to upgrade.

If you are off to Potters: https://gun.co.uk/shotguns/beretta-682-gold-e-12g-used-gun29138 There are many people that reckon there has never been a better clay buster made than the 682 Gold E. Already got the adjustable fitted. If it's in good working order it'll be a cracking starter gun...

What Will said. A second hand sub-2k Beretta, Browning or Miroku with an adjustable comb and stock that is about the right length. 30 or 32 barrels. Go get the comb set up by someone that has a clue what they are doing. Spend shed-loads putting cartridges through it until you've started to...

I shot Barrow as well. I shot some of it well and some of it really poorly.  Had a mare on Stands 3 to 5.  Stand 3 didn't find the crosser until last pair - miles in front.  Stand 4 I just melted down on the lower target, really struggling with right to lefts at the moment.  Stand 5 couldn't...

I thought it was yellow as well. Missed the first two, stopped giving it any lead at all, shot at it and it broke twice.

Stands 6 and 7 wrecked my card.  Stand 6 I was all over the 70mm crosser, but couldn't find the other one!  Stand 7 I dropped 8 😭

My average is dropping at the moment, partly because my shooting is not in the best nick at the moment and partly because I'm intentionally picking what should be harder shoots - selection shoots, county champs etc. I suppose I could do a few visits to Gatton Bottom to try to bolster it, but I...

Churchills on Thursday - I started well, finished well, but was decidedly wobbly through the middle.  Nasty sim pair with a dropping target that I just couldn't hit and struggled on a 70mm target on 7, whilst hitting 3 from 4 on the other target (a long range curling crosser). I completely spat...

Very well shot Donna. I shot Sporting Targets on Monday.  I was mediocre at best.  Whenever I've shot there in the past they have had quite a lot of longer, more challenging targets.  This time there was loads on the end of the gun.  I hit the long ones, missed far too many of the close ones. ...

Neither of the comps mentioned are CPSA Registered, so that's presumably why they haven't used that system.  No reason not to have a spreadsheet shares online though.
