Agree with everything you said here , but as I said in an earlier post, we have a very amateur organisation running our sport and all of your comments would have been resolved by a more professional organisation running the sport

Spot on Richard, but you have to remember we have a very amateur organisation running our sport, you only had to watch the live shoot off on Sunday pm to realise how amateur it is , 🤷🏼‍♂️

Well we can’t all be world champions and it is something we do to enjoy ourselves so as long as you enjoy it keep going and I hope that you continue with your reports and that one day we will see you reporting that you’ve cracked the demons 🤞

Richard, I do enjoy reading your posts on the shoots you attend but there seems to be a consistent trend that you struggle on left to right crossing targets, have you considered having someone coach you on these? To tell you what you are doing wrong. please don’t take offence of my comments I...

Report pair first target shot and missed second target no bird, pair again first target miss second target to count. Well that was the rules when I last ref‘ed many years ago

I’ve just seen Hull SuperFast 24grm plastic weds advertised at £255 per thousand, they are a very good shell and the kills I had were very impressive, much smoother on the shoulder than the Fiocchi shells I have been using is another plus

I believe we are all paying too much for our cartridges, As an example, Fiocchi LiteSpeed are now £260 a thousand in February this year they were £220 that’s close to a 20% jump it’s killing the sport 🤬

Can I ask you a question please, “how can it be a cracking shoot, if the targets are set on a stand that you struggle to see?” Surly to make it a “cracking shoot “ you need to be able to see all of the targets clearly? Was it just you that had the problem there or was it a real eye sight test?

An absolutely outstanding performance and a number of world records that will never be beaten, the sad thing is that it gets zero coverage from the mainstream media

II’m not suggesting that the sport is segregated at all levels, my original comment was that the World Championship event should have a qualification requirement to allow entry and not be available to beginners thus allowing those who qualify in the lower classes to shoot on the same day and...

Possibly but the car company’s don’t get blamed every time a car is involved in a fatal accident , so why would the sponsors be worried about putting their money behind a legal and controlled sport?

Not at the Olympics you can’t 🤷🏼‍♂️

Would have thought that with the latest drone technology and cameras it could get some exciting angles and give a totally different view of the sport. I agree with you that guns in the UK does have a negative opinion but isn’t it the duty of those in the sport to at least try and change public...

Good point and you have to qualify to get to the Olympics…..

The experience may be one the “ no hoper” remembers for a long time, but I’ve yet to find AA or AAA shooter that likes to follow someone who can’t hit a barn door , it’s the only sport I can think of that allows someone with zero experience to compete at a world championship without getting to...

But Darts and snooker are hobbies for lots of people and also a highly sponsored sport and a way of life for those at the top. You can’t just enter the world championships in any other sport so why is clay shooting so poorly sponsored and still a minority sport?? Perhaps it needs to get more...

Im just suggesting that the event needs to be more professional not have every Tom **** and Harriett turn up and enter, do we even know who won? Was there any live feeds for the shoot off, even pub games like darts and snooker gets better media coverage and sponsorship. The sport is going...

The host country sets the rules now so what makes you think the overseas entrant should have a say if things changed?

Its only ever held in the US and in the UK not as if it’s like the Olympics 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sorry if you thought I was referring to you I can assure you that I wasn’t, it’s the many comments I see on social media that I refer to I just believe that if this sport is to move forward and gain some serious recognition it needs to change, what other sport can a rank amateur compete next to...
