Went to EJC today for the Compak with Tony, a rare midweek shoot for him.  Luckily the rain stopped before we shot, it’s undercover but you still have to get to each layout.  I didn’t shoot well and felt very agitated.  The voice system is still not good.  Our first layout was buttoned by the...

John Dyson does a few during the year at Hepworth doesn’t he?

Gunsite with Lola.  Least said soonest mended.  

Went to Owls and met Tony there as he’d been at work.  Shot stand 1 8/8 then shot first pair of stand 2 dead and the gun did exactly was it did at Bisley last weekend.  Tried Natasha’s gun 2 pairs missed and gave up.  Her stock was too long for me.   Urgently in bits as Tony having another look...

When I read the title I thought we were going to be talking about Supersporting being a new registered discipline.

I went off to Bisley Gun Club today, Tony wasn’t working and we decided it would be nice to see Tony Axell and Bob who used to set targets at Southdown.  They are running the DTL there.   The clubhouse is large and comfortable, food good and toilets immaculate.   Very friendly.  I wasn’t really...

EJC for me too, loved my squad and happy it didn’t rain.   I lost a lot of orange today frustration central and scored nothing on the driven.  Stand 6 I did okay with but the two I lost were in the dark.   If they provide a Hoover I’ll go hoover up the orange bits so I don’t lose the target in...

Went to EJC for the Compak yesterday.  Enjoyed my squad and the course. We did have a few issues with the voice release system on two of our layouts which was extremely frustrating and does absolutely nothing for your concentration.  It happened when I shot the big Compak comp there.  Obviously...

Busy weekend, as Tony didn’t have to work Saturday we went to Owls, no big score but I enjoyed the course and company and I did some stands well.    Today was an early start off to Grange Farm which took me 21/4 hrs to drive there.   Very enjoyable and in parts quite tricky. Again I felt I did...

I had a good day today.  The weather was pleasant and I went to Barrow, just one shoot.  I had Dora as my lovely gunsmith got her back to me.   Forgotten what it’s like not having to dig the cartridge out with my penknife.  A mixture of targets and I shot well winning ladies on 86/100.  Given...

Long day today, went to Westfield for STP and Sporting.   I didn’t shoot either well but they were both excellent shoots if a little long to shoot the sporting.   It was very well attended.  Harry said approx 380 shooters.  It was a good job I had Natasha to chat to and the weather was very good...

Thank you all for the input.  I don’t think it’s gunfit, I do think a lot of it is head related although I’m sure skill set could be improved in many areas.   This downward trajectory started before the pandemic began, the day my best friend died in July 2019 and I was at AGL.  I shot in shock...

I don’t have an issue with hard shoots, my issue is I have gone backwards dramatically on most shoots I attend.   Doesn’t matter where I go I shoot under par for wherever I am.   I’m not trying to be better than I am, I’m trying to get back to where I was.   Maybe I just need to go back to...

Redricks also, it was hard right from stand 1 but I made it look impossible.  Went to Barrow fully intending to just walk around with Tony while he shot but no I decided to shoot.  Really struggled with the sun in places and the colours in places.  I shot better there but it didn’t lift my...

Thank you.  There were a few I kicked myself about.  I did well on that stand too 👏

Gunsite early doors which I enjoyed and then a longer than expected drive to Honesberie for last card at 3pm.  As Will said a good course but I just had nothing to give and did terribly.   Maybe two shoots is too much now.  The drive home was too long as well,

Redricks for me as well, early doors.   An enjoyable round with the added bonus of shooting with Jane Bennett who I haven’t  seen in a while since she moved so a good catch up.  Saw Bebo as well, good to see you.   On to Northampton which was quite tough and I should have tried harder but it was...

I’m not going to pretend it was that bad for me but I’d slowed down Going shooting significantly before C19 and it’s a struggle to get back to “normal”.  I’m still not going as much as I used to.  I’m surviving by having very low expectations! 

Barbury for us today as well and I thoroughly enjoyed the novelty factor as described above.  I blanked stand 13 I just couldn’t see them well and they were not an easy presentation for me.   I also missed three very close birds and two white targets on stand 8, again the White seemed to...

Didn’t take me 3hrs to shoot it but it’s also a fair walk around now.  Very pleasant actually.
