It's been a while since I last shot here, made sure it wasn't a registered as didn't fancy mullering my average on out of sight birds. :p

On the whole I enjoyed it more this time but it was a hard shoot all the same, 91 by M. Norris leading when I left with A. Cobb's 89 leading AA and yours truly tied with M. Marshal for 2nd :cool: on 85. Next to no gimme stands at all, just mid to very hard all the way, 45 yard full crossing rabbits that looked like mini clays and the usual monster valley stand no. 1 :.: .

I shot the hard stands really well including a right to left quartering looper with a break point of around 50 yards, could have got to bother HG if I had been on it with the straightable stuff.

The downer for me was the fact that this cost £35 to shoot ( a fair bit for a non reg) and yet featured only 10 stands with two of these utilising a single trap :???: :mellow: . I appreciate traps aren't cheap but to me this should reflect in the entry costs but it doesn't seem to here. Places like Southdown are the same price yet they never throw the same birds 10 times, and tend to be at least 11/12 stands too. Good shoot but not great value.

 
Doesn't sound like a great deal for non reg'd.

I vowed never to go back after the New Years Day shoot, lot's of mud, punishing targets and the fact that the refreshments having disappeared by 12:30 really killed it for me.

Jon.
