Shot this today 2pm

Super squad, sun shine, no wind, good company all round, thanks guys.

As for the squad, Steve Lovatt, very impressive with a what will be a tough to beat 89, Me, Kevin Childs, Mike Evans, Ian Stones and his chum who ashamed to say I've forgotten his name.

Tough layout some really BIG targets, well I thought so, my highlight was showing Steve Lovatt how to hit one screaming left to right, mind you he did show me how to hit everything else it's that I'm just not good enough to do it / put into practice, well not yet

One again thanks all for a very enjoyable afternoon

I'm refereeing Saturday so may see some of you

Day two and as per the song "what a difference a day makes, 24 little hours" as in my mind it all looked a bit different today, almost as if yesterday I shot at midi and minis and today they were all dustbin lids!

Jesting apart, reffed today, am squad of Shortlegs, Stew Keen, Lee and Mark Roberts and Peter and Julian Brockley, shoot enjoyed by all, well that's what they said afterwards, it was tough in places although in my rose tinted glasses it was easier than yesterday, the breeze today held a few targets that just ripped away yesterday, but that's what I thought, could of course be wrong.

In the pm 5 man squad of Clynt, Chipper, Lee Newman, Ernie Wilkins ( a Chatcombe Estate, now Coleys top instructor ) and Steve Burnham, big names here and Chipper looking on for HG until dropping 5 targets on both layouts 3 and 4, an area to be now known as Long-heartbreak-ridge

Had two top days with good company and saw both Steve Lovatt and Nick Portlock shoot superbly, now if only I could be as half as good!

Many thanks Rich for doing a sterling job reffing our squad which were great company to make it a great day out,really enjoyed shooting a good variety of fitasc targets and like Mark said will be back for more. Many thanks to Steve and his team as the day ran very smoothly an hope he will be putting more shoots on like this. Layout 3 was not a good place to start really hurt my score :banghead:   but didn't let it spoil the day and finished on 60 which was ok after a bad start.

Good to shoot with you Mark, Stew and Lee look forward to shooting with you again soon k:

Thanks

Gareth
