yours truly 55 in C, just off a place, surprised at that! And i dropped virtually all 18 green targets :-( must add I was sloppy on other stands so only oneself to blame for not placing.
re the green targets, my problems with picking these targets up in flight, not helped (hindsight) was as it was overcast I didn't wear any tinted glasses but a lair of heavy prescription clear glasses, so this is my thoughts / comments, yes I heard before I shot that they were causing some sight issues, even two of the trappers cautioned same, then I see Jason and Chris Bubb hit 17/18 into stand promptly blank :-( when watching from the track they looked awkward but not overly hard, when I got into the stand I just couldn't pick up the flight, my eyes in the background just not "catching" the green flashing across the green undergrowth background of the incomer then affected by the green report "strobing" the line of trees.
the second stand of green clays, first a teal then a l-R crosser, followed Charlie Gilder, Mark Thomad and Jo Herbert all 10ex10, into stand and I onky just see the start of the teal luckily it's not too far out and instinct shot it, the l-R crosser again all I see is a blinking green flash as it passes thorough the tree line, I could still be there now and not hit it.
So main lesson(s) here is to have at all times a selection of tinted frames that one can pick to assist in the "seeing" of coloured targets, and even if a stand is "blanked" forget it move on and take one stand, one pair one target at a time, not saying my inner rage caused me to drop some other targets, I just know my inner rage caused by my visual impairment affected my next two or three stands.
As before though nice ground, will go back, as gif the speedbumps I drive a Astra, not the easiest of access roads but managed it ok
) hoping to get there am, didn't shoot there very well last time out so wanting to get that monkey off my back.
