Thanks Donna

Good shoot, stand 6 my gun was resting on the fence to shoot the second target and even standing back I felt like I was going to shoot the fence.  Stand 7 I could only see that fist target as it went through towards its end whereas my husband and taller people could see it over the fence panel...

I went, I knew I shouldn’t but I did.  I shot badly as I knew I would and found quite a few hard to see and my frustration level just reached my limit.  I think it’s a good few years since I have  been and that will be it.  The few times I have  scored a decent score  there I have never taken...

I thought it was a good shoot.  Suffered a bit with the overhead straight into the sun, managed two by taking it sideways and just throwing the gun into the sun.  Felt sorry for the ref really, it was better in the morning apparently.  I was a bit sloppy in places and managed a few super moments...

Hangman’s for us today shooting with Tash (for those who know her) and her partner Martin.  Have to say she was shooting so well and then on our last but one stand which was the horrible rabbit down hill, she lost the plot and missed 6 on that stand!  I shot okay for me and due to my mother...

Often a contentious subject in some circles but I agree with you.  

I was taught Wood is good and only the other day I reminded a shooter who was taking his mate around a competition of that. He had the cheek to tell a father in front of him that his young son’s “muzzle movement was disconcerting”. His father was in the stand with him and in charge, the gun...

I’ve not been very present in the shooting world for a while mainly because we’ve been due an Independent Schools Inspectorate compliance inspection since joining ISA last April.   They are far more particular than Ofsted and for this type of inspection it is simply pass or fail and my areas are...

We went and got very soggy.  I managed to shoot in my coat and cap which I hate.  I enjoyed the course in good company. We started on stand 5 and did 1 to 4 last. Had two bad stands - stand 1 which was silly really but by that time I was very wet and getting cold and the post in the stand really...

First time out for me in a month at EJC which I enjoyed in good company and I like supersporting.  Felt I shot  well considering I haven’t been shooting a lot for a good while.  One disastrous stand which was 9 the driven one.  I hate that stand whatever we shoot there  with the big panel and...

That was my second and last time ..   

Thanks.  A good 75 bird shoot but I just didn’t like being part of it.   I didn’t start well and just didn’t like being on display.   Lovely squad of ladies.  I’d have been happier watching.  I won’t do that again if I ever get to that point.  I’m literally physically and emotionally exhausted...

Crack of dawn back to Barbury so Tony could do sporting which he enjoyed.  Sportrap  for both of us late afternoon.  First layout realised on my first shot I was shooting fibres which in Gamebore Velocity I know to avoid in future.  We’d bought some plastic cartridges in bulk and just picked up...

Me too.  I missed two on the last stand for a 90.  It’s so easy just to slack off at the end.   Well done on both counts. 👏👏

Sorry not to have seen you Donna and you’re right I was very happy not to see a driven 🤣 i really enjoyed the sporting and my squad.  I missed two of those green floppers but got all the battues.   If I had been more careful starting off I wouldn’t have missed two on stand 1 and 2 rabbits on 2...

See you tomorrow hopefully. Shooting the sporting with Tash.  She shot the Sportrap today and got 77.  So proud of her looking at the scores. Shooting Sportrap on Saturday at 3pm as Tony shooting sporting in the morning first thing. 

Certainly getting more shooting done.  Scores coming up slowly.  Westfield yesterday - happy with an 80.  Southdown today for county Compak along with three other counties and a memorial sporting shoot and I think a county sporting,  Compak first and started on the single and 2 sim pair layout...

That would be me.   I’m not looking to be a champion.   My motivation in finding a coach was to rekindle my love of shooting which sadly had diminished drastically.  I want to get back to where I had been, if I achieve beyond that then great, what’s not to like about that but it’s not my burning...

Pretty scary as it’s a tight space.   He was not far from the wall and those around him only feet away.   The man that seemed to take the brunt of it luckily had his back to it.   The ref was to the left of him and obviously facing him.   Thankfully all wearing glasses.  

Just had this with my DT10 this weekend at Barbury. It happened before a few years ago.  It’s going to my gunsmith when he can fit me in.  It does nothing for your nerves.  I can’t shoot naturally when this happens as it makes me really jittery waiting to see if it happens again.
