I shot Churchills yesterday as well. Second target on Stand 6 was the largest lead of the day, but wasn't huge. I straighted that stand, but managed to miss 3 on the stand before, being complacent, hung on one of the incomers and shot over the teal. Dropped 3 on the sim pair of driven. Other...

Not saying anything.

Redricks for me as well. Started at 11.45 and shot almost every stand on my own with no queueing and no-one waiting behind me. Not having an audience must suit me, finished on 88. Dropped a sitter on Stand 9 (last stand I shot). Would have been a PB if I'd nailed it, rather than shooting just in...

Good to see you too Sian, sorry I didn't bump into you Donna. I was shooting pretty well, even the sim pairs weren't a complete disaster (6 and 8). Finished stand 9 having dropped a total of 12. Started thinking, 'you're on for the mid-80s today' which promptly put the kibosh on any chance of...

Gatton Bottom again today, mainly because I had money to collect so it was effectively a free shoot. Fewer eyesight tests today, although there was still a fairly edgy battue on Stand 2. Almost every target was going away. I think only 5 out of 22 targets weren't going away in some form. Doubt...

Churchills for me as well today. Agree that it felt a bit different, only two targets that I thought needed a biggish lead. Lots of stuff to shoot 'at' today as well - multiple teal / going aways.  I can't say that I shot well today. Overthinking things resulting in lots of misses in the last...

Cheers, I'll try and give it a go.

Not been to Grange Farm before, but up in that neck of the woods next weekend. Is it pre-booked squads or just turn up?

Gatton Bottom for me today. First time this year. After a while I forget why I haven't been there recently, then it all comes back when I do go. Daft eyesight test orange edge on quartering away battue and a 5 yard, limited window rabbit were the main reminders. Most targets you just had to...

Yup. Think that's the case. I'm aware of at least one instance where someone put in a crap score and then changed their preference before the scores were uploaded.

Check that their name comes up at all on the CPSA site. You can set it so you and your scores aren't visible under your membership preferences. Booklet 1 1.14d I think covers it.

I was supposed to go today, but had to cancel. Was watching the scores as they updated on the cpsa site. Seeing that you'd shot really well brightened up my day of being stuck in front of a computer.

Kibworth on Friday. Really wind affected, but enjoyable targets nonetheless. I always enjoy shooting there, no daft eyesight tests but always a decent range of things to try. Went back on Saturday to have a try at some of the targets I felt I could have shot better. Amazing the difference the...

Maybe it was the fibres that put me off them. I'm quite liking Eley Select at the moment. Will the stocking up this weekend, better get that mortgage in place today!

Ouch.  Not like they are nice cartridges to shoot either.

First Registered Sporting Comp of the year for me, with a trip up to Churchills.  Had the added bonus of being on Mr Hewland's squad. Was feeling a bit nervy as it's been nearly 3 months since my last Reg comp, but started well and managed to straight the first three stands. Wobbled a bit on a...

They aren't necessarily bad cartridges, they certainly broke the targets OK.  Some people like faster cartridges or cartridges with a heavier load.  I know that at least one of the ones they were promoting the time I went was a game cartridge (it was a stand with a very long flattish looper that...

It'll be fine.  They targets are usually fairly good at AGL.  They make you use three different sorts of their cartridges, two of them were really punchy. First stand on that bit of the course was a sim pair.  Missed the second bird on the first pair because I was so shocked by the recoil that I...

Nope.  Didn't enjoy the last one I shot.  Took an age to get around and using their thumpy cartridges on the last 20 clays wasn't fun at all.

You are not alone. My current gun is called Adolf.
