Fork 'andles. 17.2.13

[MARK-POACHER]

As mentioned, went to Four Counties today. Seemed a good turnout, plenty of the faces from here appeared.
Just thought I'd demonstrate that I don't only write a shoot review when I do well!
We went round in numerical order and the first five stands went well, only about 4 away. Stand 6 was my big crash, 3 ex 10! Sim pair of overhead aways. Having missed the left bird three times I decided to try it other way round and got nought.
The very next stand was another clanger, missing three of the high overhead away 'ducks'. I realise that I overlead them to give away 10 birds in two stands.
Next I managed to hit some easy stuff, then tripped up dropping 2 on the sim orange aways. Trying to be too quick.
A final screw up with more over leading on stand 11 parked me on 80. Doesn't sound that awful but I think I failed to make the most of one of their less tough shoots? I predict A to be won on 88/89 and HG to be 95, lets see.
Overall a nice shoot. Just on a personal preference, I would maybe ease up one or two of the tough stands and toughen up a couple of others. Same balance, different way.
I'll be back in March to make amends, targeting a score above my average.

I know how you feel will...good fair set up today too, couple of tester stands and stand 6 being one off them but managed an 8/10 on there so happy but I ballsed up stand 4 !!!! and dropped too many here there I shouldn't of done..but finished on 77 or 78 so happy but room for a few more I thought..nice too see ya today again speak soon mark.

Also went round in numerical order, had a bad start then got it together a bit on stand 4 and then lost it again on stand 11 (missed 5 loopers) to end up on 75 .
Good shoot and a good turn out, car park was full ! Nice to see Shootclay members out in force today !

Well done poacher sorry I missed you at end of day....that mk doing the job mate nice to see..

 

[MARK-POACHER]

Its all in the head what would i have scored with the 8's
Back on the regular special sandy cartridges next week :hunter:

Well shot lord sandy! !! missed you at end as had to make a move myself...see ya at your clay bank wylye next week..

 

[MARK-POACHER]

Well, the jury is out on this shoot. I saw one of the Wantage C class sandbaggers shoot 39/40 on the last 4 stands at 4C's today. Awesome for a C class shot. I suppose he will be back at his home ground Wylye next week to pick up his usual monthly Direct Debit of winnings!
Sooner or later he may buy bacon rolls all round.
Should ban him from using 7 1/2 Olympics!

Course Barrow Targets are hard, if you are shooting them from 4 Counties. Needs 6.5's at least!

Good shoot today, nice weather and lots of shooters, very good targets and all there to be had, stand six the card breaker for most, I managed 72 and happy with that after my complete disaster last week at west field (weather I blame)

stand six was the men from the boys stand! although stand 4 was no walk in the park!

Stand 6 I gave respect and ment every shot 8/10..stand 4 thought theses are in the bag 6/10 ! Lesson learnt.
