EJ Churchill STR 4.9.13

[Will Hewland]

A lovely sunny day! Nice that the first layout had the stands in the shade.

I'm not a Sportrap specialist, so cant compare it with too many other courses but felt it was a good course. The first layout (in the 'East' by the steps) was the easiest I thought and should be straighted by a few. Nice start, but the rest were firmer, with some fairly nasty sim pairs. Good targets but hard as sim.

I have been off form in ESP recently so was glad to shoot quite well today, finishing on 84, made up from 23,20,20,21. The fast and less rehearsed nature of STR made me shoot with less planning; assisting me greatly it seemed. I missed three easy 'unforgivables' but otherwise it just beat me. Good practice before the ESP reg tomorrow..

Plenty of faces from here in the clubhouse as I left including Steve Lovatt and Matt R, so look forward to the reports.

I think there is a 94 out there for a top shot..

Shot this this afternoon and think I shot a 90 came unstuck on a couple sim pairs , good layout the only problem was the rabbit I thought was a bit unfair as in some were black and hard to Ser others were bright orange and easy to see

When I left heard nick moss shot a very good 95 !!!!!

Would have liked to shoot this but work had to be done!

Totally agree Steve that rabbit was not fair, I came unstuck on this layout, shot 24, 24, 19!! Oops and a 22 to finish on 89, some nasty sims pairs but overall an enjoyable course.

Thought there were some tricky sim pairs today.

Started well then had a mare on the second lay out and so,so on the last two.

Done 23,13 (mare),19,17 to finish with 72.

Now imagine shooting that unfair rabbit in the dark!

I Did - Not Funny! did the last layout in the dark, unless it was orange it couldnt be seen! :fie:

I shot on the squad with Nick Moss, he had one of the dark rabbits, as well. Otherwise he would have finished on 96. Top shooting.

One of them? I never saw an orange one. If I had I would have been on 97 (maybe.. )
