Oh dear...

[Jan Powell]

Some of you have posted that you had a tough time shooting yesterday. I bet it wasn't as tough as mine!

.. My heart pumps custard for you!

 

[CharlesP]

I cannot think of a form of words adequate to express my grief for you...

 

[Les53]

Oh dear what an awful score!!!   Well done Jan! 

 

[Jan Powell]

The strange thing is, if there's any targets that cause me an issue it's not a low 8. 

Never mind, it happens.

No, but I'll bet somewhere in the back of your mind was the thought 'Just this one for a 100 straight'

Pretty lethal thought process I have discovered ( well not at 100 but even a single straight sporting stand )

 

[Jan Powell]

To be honest, I was quite relaxed about it but you're probably right.

Well done, I wish I had your bad luck when shooting skeet.  Trying to get myself to buckle down and get on with it when I miss one or two in the first part of the round.  I seem to just give up when I should be trying to save the rest of the score.

Jan, my heart bleeds for you,..........................................now have you considered changing chokes, or perhaps a switch of shot size or maybe a 66N lens ! 

 

[Wonko the Sane]

Clearly there is a POI problem

I appreciate that my problem is NOT in the same league, but I was using my 12 bore auto for the first time in over 12 months yesterday at a local straw baler. From 9 stands I dropped either the last bird or sometimes the last pair on almost all of the stands. Was it fatigue, complacency or lack of concentration ?   The one thing it certainly was, was bloody annoying !
