It's not that hard, using a double trigger. I can do it. Feels quite natural. Same. I begged them for a have a go stand, something easy at £1 a pair for charity, but no go. Anyways, I have purple hair so come and say hi if you see me.

What time are you going, Chippy? I'm looking to shoot it just before lunch I think.

Ooh, you are right! I liked Sian's post and now it's gone. I have a 28" Baikal 43EM, choked at 7/40 and 15/40. It's called Boris and two years ago we scored 53 at this event. He hasn't been out at all since then.

Anyone shooting this on Friday? High on my success at the British Open I will be there, trying to remember how to shoot the sxs. I'm hoping to shoot round with some friends if timings work, but it would be nice to know who to look out for.

Why? By all accounts he is a highly qualified referee. Well, CPSA trained and years of experience.

Thanks, Wonko. Very sensible post. Did someone write it for you? ;-) Some people you give up trying to share feedback with. Some people tell shooters to F*** off when feedback is shared. That wasn't me, but I heard all about it. I've given my share of feedback, including positive feedback, but...

Excuse me, first: this is the second bad ref in two out of three registereds, and secondly: I am not penalising a ground, that suggests they are entitled to something I am taking away. Grounds are businesses, they get my money as part of a business transaction. That needs to benefit both of us...

I can see not disputing a call if the ref is watching but if you can see he points his nose to the floor and is looking in a completely different direction to the clays? I think that I would speak up if it happened to someone else, and I am glad someone spoke up for me.  I expect Steve has well...

I'm not trying to cheat. I am not good enough to come close to winning, and I always shoot birds only anyway. 

I shot my first A/R today. Started off okay but on the ABT the ref/buttoner called one of my second barrel kills as a loss. I objected, and the squad backed me up and he said sorry, didn't see that. Next peg same thing again, but this time the guy on my right told the ref that maybe he should...

This is up on Nuthampstead's Facebook page. It is with the most deepest regret and great sadness that we have to inform you that Martin John Barker passed away in the early hours of Tuesday morning. After a short battle with cancer he passed in comfort and peace. He was a brilliant husband...

Aw, Wonko! You say the nicest things, thank you. 

Ach, I am a realist. Unless other counties have people even newer than me I am going to be down there. I don't care though, cos I have shot <400 ABT clays and I am representing my County. I'm pretty pleased with myself. Just not yet a high scorer.

Both. New thing for me.

Good work! See you at the ICs. I will be the one with my name at the bottom of the scores :-)

That's very kind, but it's over now. I didn't disgrace myself. Watching pepole on your right is only helpful if they are a good shot. If they are a bit rubbish you can't tell if they miss because they took the pair the wrong way around or if they just missed. I made my own decisions, which...

It can just be a bad habit. I had to learn to look with my eyes, not with my nose.

I did the ABT at the weekend. I like that! 11-17-14-11. I was pleased as I had an hour of instruction and not much practice.
